dottie4 answered Wednesday May 10 2006, 3:24 pm: My mom put me on the pill as well because my sister got pregnant when she was 15. Anyway, just realize, it's not that big of a deal. About every women goes through. It may seem uncomfortable when you go in the room but, it's not that big of a deal. I was nervous as hell to when I had to get it done. What I did was talk to the doctor before he did it. Think about something else to get your mind off of it. If your wondering, it doesn't hurt. [ dottie4's advice column | Ask dottie4 A Question ]

Examinations down there are far from pleasent, we all know but every woman has to go through it and if you don't do it now, it will just make you more scared the next time. They are necessary because you need to be checked for any abnormalities that signify cancers, STI's or STD's.
Please try not to panic because you will wonder what all the fuss was about afterwards. It's awkward and a little uncomfortable but as long as you try to stay relaxed, it won't hurt. They are pros and they know how to do it so it doesn't hurt. All they will want to do is a quick swab an job done.

Tulipg17 answered Tuesday May 9 2006, 3:46 pm: The GYN isn't as scary as you think it is, you'll see that once you get there. Just make sure you tell your doctor how stressed you are feeling before they start the exam. Try to get a female doctor if you can, that should make you feel more comfortable. She'll tell you everything she is doing as she does it, and the exam itself is really only a few minutes long. She is there for you to ask her any questions at all that you might have about your body, so make a list if it helps you. You should tell her about how it hurts to use tampons too, and how you have problems putting them in. Don't stress so much, you'll see that it isn't all that it is hyped to be.
