okay my mom is making me go on birth control and i'm REALLY scared for the gyno part. can someone tell me step by step what they actually do? i heard from a friend it hurts..
After the test is done you will eventually be escorted to the patients room where you will have a special gown to put on. It's kind of complicated there's a blanket piece which is to "sort of" cover you vagina while you sit on the table and the top is like an open jacket.
When the doctor comes in he/she might chat a little and will guide you through what you are abou tot do. They always tell you what they are using and where they are putting it before they do.
Feet generally go in stirrups and they will open your legs. Don't bother with modesty...these docs have seen soooo many vaginas--yours is not different. ANYWHO! They wear gloves and will usually insert two fingers in with a lubrication to feel around.
An instrument (forceps? I forget the name)will be pushed into the vagina and the doctor will use a tool to scrape your cervix for cells to test for cancer. This ist he part that can hurt. I do guarantee it only hurts the first time and next year you won't feel it. It kind of hurts but does go away rather fast.
After that comes the breast testing. You will raise your arms above your head and the doc will feel AROUND the nipple (not touching it) for lumps or cancer or other bad things.
Then you are done and set! You get dressed , get the prescription for you pills and are outta there!!
GL, don't worry too much. They know it's your first time!! XD [ Anathemic's advice column | Ask Anathemic A Question ]
