Pelvic exam for possible infection?
I have an appointment with my lady doctor to discuss my birth control pill (that I'm on to regulate my period). However, I think I have a vaginal infection so I will mention it to her. Will she decide to give me a pelvic exam? I'm not really scared I just want to be prepared ahead of time so I know what to expect. And I'm not sexually active in any way and I never had an exam down there before.
Will she just suggest a medication or take a look?
(please answer this if you know from personal experience).

Well ususally doctors give you an exam before being put on the pill (whether you're sexually active or not) and they almost always do a follow up 6 months later and that ususally includes a pelvic exam. If you mention the infection she may want to take a look. If you're nervous about that go to a store and get a yeast infection testing kit, and if you do have a yeast infection then get Monistat or any other type of yeast infection treating kit that doesn't require a perscription. If you have no luck there then yes I do suggest mentioning it to your doctor. Most will suggest going to your doctor right away, but I found the kits to work flawlessly.
