Going to the gyno for the first time?!
Question: this coming friday the 29th, I'm going to an adolescent gynocologist that my mothers gyno recommended for me. It's going to be my first appointment ever. I'm only fourteen. I got an appointment because of my periods being so heavy and the bad cramps/mood swings/bloating/headaches/fatigue and such. What exactly will they be doing to me? Will they have to look *down there* or what? What is it supposed to look like *down there*? Any help please, I'm terrified.

Don't be afraid. We all have been there. The Dr will probably do an exam and maybe put you on birthcontrol pills to regulate your period and prescribe something for cramps. It is possible that he may do an internal exam as well as pushing on different places around your abdoman to feel for lumps or anything abnormal. he may decide to give you your first pap smear which can tell many things. It is embarrassing for a young teen the first few times but your mom is wise to take you. The doctor will place a sheet over your bottom half if an internal exam is nessessary, a nurse will be there with him. Nothing with a pap smear hurts. A special small instrument is incerted inside you to open you up enough so he can snip a tiny sample of your cervix for lab tests. He will use a lubricant first so you will feel little or no discomfort. the snip of the cervix is like a tiny little pinch at worst and many times is not felt at all. That is not to say he will decide this is needed at your young age. The worst will be any embarrassment you might feel at someone seeing your personal self but bear in mind, the Dr sees that all day long and it will be no different for him than looking at a cut finger. Since this Dr. deals with teens, I am sure they will explain anything they plan to do and do all they can to alleviate any fears or embarrassment you might feel. You will get used to it as when we get older, these type of exams need to be done yearly. Good luck. It will be ok.

Overall, they are going to look down there. Don't worry about what they will see - you won't have to see it. Know that its probably the hardest thing you will do for some time - to go and know they are going to do it. But, we do get through it and life goes on.
hey girl ive been and im only 17. its really not that bad. they will have to look down there and they will probably touch it a little. and depending on what there looking for they might go inside a little. trust me it doesnt hurt at all. it feels a little uncomfortable but that it. dont be worried about what it supposed to look like or anything these people are looking at vaj ay ays all day so yours wont be any surprise. trust me you have nothing to fear its quick, painless and easy. take a deep breathe close your eyes and just relax. good luck.
I was terrified too. they do look at you down there. I wouldn't worry about what you look like. they're not going to make fun of you or anything...they will help you out a lot.
Nothing to worry. Your mom takes you there since you have the period trouble which now only has started. Its natural for all gals. The doctor and nurse will look down there, they will check inside your organ system which are uterus , the felopine tube, ovaries , where from the cycle process. Ever since you have attained an age, as per the nature's cycle and law the internal system of a lady established and it is evident with the occasion of periods.
The doctor with gloves will check inside the normal checking and it is for all common. Will insert the hand inside and touch the organs and see whether any disorder . You are psychologically perturbed thinking that someone is touching down below. Its a natural phenomena and every one has to go across. More often you get examined and diagnosed you will not have the curiosity. Besides, why should you be so touchy about down below ? If braces in the mouth or spectacles on the eyes are not troubling then why down below makes you so curious ? Its natural and within 10 minutes the check up will be over. They will prescribe some pills if required to solve your problem of periods.
But I suggest , to overcome this problem you perform Aerobics, cycling, and swimming that will put you ease and makes your cycle so normal
