Can you give a detailed answer about what happens at the gyno??? help?!?!?!
Question: I'm a medical assistant that works in a OB/GYN clinic. We call the patient back, take their vitals, ask questions about their past and current medical history. Some doctors may ask that the patient leave a urine sample and do a quick dip stick test to test things like PH, blood, and a few other things. Before we leave the room, we ask the patient to get undress and put on a gown (like you might wear in a hospital). While we are out of the room and allow the patient to change, we may enter info into their electronic medical records (most places are switching over to EMR - computer). Once the patient is ready, we go in and the doctor starts doing their examinations. He or she will check the breast for lumps, and move down the lower abdomen region and feel the ovaries and uterus. Then they will stick a tool in you (either plastic or metal) to open and keep the vagina open long enough for them to look and stick a large q-tip or some other device to scrap the cells. The cells will then be swished around in a small bottle with some fluid in there. They will then take the tool out and then may squirt some jelly like substance on their fingers and do an internal exam with their fingers and if your older (50 or 60 +), they usually do an anal exam as well to grab a little of your stool and do a blood test with that. The doctor may talk to you first or after they do their exams. You also may do some blood test if needed and prescribe any medications that might be needed. Once they get the results in, they will mail, call, email the results...depending on if its good or bad or may call you back in to see you to talk to you or run additional test. If everything is good....they will ask that you come back in yearly unless something comes up.

First the nurse will ask you to undress and wear a little smock. The doctor will come in and introduce himself or herself. They check your breasts for lumps, they give you a vaginal exam where they put a plastic instrument inside of your vagina and take a pap smear. It looks like a long Q-tip. It's to check for infections or STD's. They might give you an anal exam as well. Don't be frightened. This is normal. If everything comes back fine then you only go once a year. It's for your own health and safety. Don't worry. We are all scared our first time, but it's nothing to lose sleep over. Take care and good luck.
1. The docotor asks why you're seeing him.
2. He'll ask your menstrual history -- how long you ovulate, your hormonal activity..
3. Your sexual activity, if any. Like how often you have intercourse, what you feel after it, any discharge, pain, discomfort, etc.
4. If you'll do a PAP, he'll insert a forcep in your vagina to see through your cervix and check if it's clear from any unwanted bacterias or infections.
5. He'll get samples from whatever he finds in there to see if it's good or bad.
6. You'll have to go back for the results of the test. He'll explain it to you..if it's good then you just go back maybe 3 months after for regular check-up or if it's bad, he'll prescribe medicines and then go back for another test.
i would like to know this tooo!
cause i might have to go to one.
and im scared to death.
do the pap things hurt?
You put on a gown, the doctor uses some lube, puts a little "jack" inside you and takes a little snip. It lasts 15 seconds and feels like a slight pinch. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am.
If you're having problems, sometimes he'll feel around to make sure everything feels normal. It's quick and painless.
u will put on the smock and then they will check ur breast..then the well tell u to put ur feet in the sturps and then the doc will lube this clamp like thing and insert it in ur vaginal and then it opens.. they will take q tips and swab and then close u up and ur done
