Your doctor will not mention whether or not you are a virgin or anything like that. He/She will probably give you a breast exam by pressing gently down on your breasts and feeling for lumps. S/he will then carefully insert either a speculum or a tube into your vagina. If the tube is used, it has a hole at the end so the doctor can swab your cervix for a pap smear. If the speculum is used, the doctor will open you up wider with it and take a pap smear that way. The tube is more comfortable but neither should hurt you. The pap smear really doesn't hurt at all, it just feels a little weird. They will make sure you don't have any diseases or infections. They test the pap smear to make sure you don't have STDs or cervical cancer. If your doctor is male, he will never be alone with you, they require a female nurse in the room at all times during your exam, so you can feel safe. Good luck.

They lay you on this chair thingy, like at a regular doctors, they make your legs stretch out, and they check out your genitilias (if thats a word... I just like to say it, it sounds funny lol)
Hope this helps some. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
