Female Question - Need it answered TONIGHT if possible :)
I have the worst periods! It's terribly heavy. I even use the heaviest products but still end up having to change out every 10 minutes. And my periods last soo long. It's very frustrating because it interferes with so much. Anyways, after talking to my mom about it she made me an appointment tomorrow to see the female doctor at my family dr's office. We're gonna go talk to her about some different types of birth control to hopefully help. Note: I'm only getting bc pills for strictly period purposes only. Not for pregnancy prevention, I'm a virgin.
~~ But I was wondering - is the appointment just full of questions? Or is their an actual exam of your body? I just wanted to know, so I could kind of be prepared. I know if you go to an actual gyno then there's most likely a full exam. But I'm just going to my family doctor to hopefully get a bc perscription or something like that. So I just wanted to know. Maybe if any of you girls have been to your family dr for this, what the appt was like?
Thanks Y'all =) Appreciate your help!
If you can answer tonight, that'd be great!

Hey there! :0)
That sucks about your periods. Thankfully mine have been regular my entire life & I've never had to worry about them being so heavy. The appointment will more then likely just be the doctor asking you if your sexually active & since you're not, then they won't need to do a physical exam on you. When you turn 18 though, (or if you're already 18) they will advise you to go in for a yearly check-up, which is necessary just to make sure you don't have cervical cancer.
I've gone to get the pill from 3 different doctors & each time, they never made me do a physical exam, they've just prescribed me for it, so don't worry about it! Good luck.

I had a similar situation happen to me. My period was lasting three weeks. When I went to the doctor they just asked a bunch of questions & prescribed me a new birth control pill that was a little bit stronger. I'm sure that's what they'll do for you, too.

There definitely should be no physical exam during the appointment. The doctor will most likely just ask you about your periods, and you'll just tell her that they're too heavy and last too long. If she wants you to get a physical exam done, that will probably be a separate appointment with a gynecologist.
Hope this helps(:
