im 19 female and this will be the first time i take this test. i know what the doctor will do and it'll be a bit painful. i know what they are looking for and all that but i want to know if i should go clean shaven to the doctor? ive never had a doctor check me down their.
im also getting a physical done. what is that for and what will the doctor do?

About shaving, it doesn't really matter. Gynos have seen EVERYTHING.. from really extra hairy to completely bald. It all matters to what you want to do, but I usually just trim and make sure it looks presentable (lol)
Usually the physical is the gyno checks your body, your breats mostly... you might have to take a urine test and have blood pressure measured. That's about it. Hope all goes well :) [ just_ask_me's advice column | Ask just_ask_me A Question ]
