When you go to the gynocologist, I know they ask you if you are sexually active, but do they ask you if you masturbate? Also, if you are a virgin, how can you masturbate so it wont hurt?
Regarding masturbation, most virgin women masturbate by stimulating the clitoris (not entering the vagina) either with a finger, a shower head, or a vibrator. I don't know how old you are, so I'm loathe to tell you where to find a vibrator without knowing your age. It would be a good idea for you to check out books like _Our Bodies, Ourselves_. You can likely find them at your local library. They are about many aspects of being women, including sexuality, but if you check them out, it won't be advertizing that you are looking for information on masturbating.
If you're young, I would also encourage you to speak with a parent or trusted adult, if it's safe for you to do so.

"Are you sexually active, if so for how long? Was it protected sex?"
"Do any women in your family have breast cancer?"
"Have you had sex with anyone who you know has an STD?"
"When was your last period?"
"Have you had any vaginal discharge or spotting between periods?"
"Have you ever been pregnant?"
"Do you smoke, drink or take any drugs?"
They may ask about allergies or other kinds of cancer that may happen to some women and they might ask about your medical history. They may ask what kind of medications are you on? And so on and so forth.
It helps to ask your Mom about it or go with what you know. Answer honestly and to the best of your ability. Do not be ashamed! They don't ask so they can gossip about you. They ask because it will help them better understand your body and your needs. And that is important! Don't be afraid to answer, it is confidential.
