I'm so sorry for the length. I just really need help.
Hello! So, I have a problem with my body. I'm a girl but it has nothing to do with puberty.
Ok, you see... I've had this treatment 2 times now. It didn't hurt a lot during the first time, but it hurt worse the 2nd time. But then, I had a surgery on it.
I have to do the treatment(not the surgery) again, and i'm afraid it'll hurt worse.
What do I do? I'm scared and I don't want to do this! I told my parents I don't want to, but they said "This is your last visit. You HAVE to do this. You are almost done." But they don't know how much it hurts! Well, my mom had this treatment before...

I will say this that what your parents have said is valid. You have gone through whatever this is twice before. As someone who suffers from chronic pain and goes through some painful procedures to help control the pain. I may know what you're feeling. Yes it is scary anytime you have to have a painful procedure done.
What I have found is that doctors sometimes are not aware of how much pain an individual patient actually feels. They may feel the pain the procedure produces is tolerable. I had this happen to me. When I spoke with the doctor and informed him that the procedure caused more pain than I could tolerate the doctor used some medication which allowed me to be almost asleep and feel little if any pain. It's unfortunate for me that I have to under go this procedure twice a year but now that the doctor knows he needs to medicate me for pain I don't fear the procedure as much.
So again, not knowing what the procedure is talk to your doctor and tell the doctor how much pain the procedure is causing you. I'm almost positive once the doctor is aware then medication can be used during the procedure and prescribed for after the procedure to reduce if not eliminate the pain. But you have to speak up and tell the doctor. Don't rely on anyone else to tell the doctor for the doctor needs to hear from you. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
