Can I see the doctor if i'm on my period?!


Question: Ok, this sounds like a dumb question a 12 year old would ask but I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and he will be having a look down there. Only problem is, I'm on my period. I've never been to the doctor while on my period. Are doctors still ok with it to do an exam while on my period? I had warts removed and he's gonna do a follow up exam. Serious answers only please!

The doctor should probably still do the exam. I would just wear a tampon. And just let the doctor know when you get there and if they have a problem with it then he will just reschedule the appointment.

Is this Vicky?? Just asking.....if you are not then Im sorry....a-he-he-he-he.....

He only needs to see the outside to check for warts, so wash it gently and use a tampon for the day.

If you're concerned I suggest that you call the docteor 1st thing and ask him?her to put your mind at ease.

It doesn't matter what kind of doctor you are seeing - they are all familiar with the fact that women menstruate and I'm sure you wouldn't be the first person he has seen in this situation. If you wear tampons, then you're fine. If you use pads, just clean up down there as best as you can and change to a fresh pad before your appointment. A period is nothing that a doctor of any kind hasn't heard of before.
