Does gyaenocology hurt and what will it do?!
Question: If you're asking about the exam, yes it can hurt a little.
First there's the speculum and that is how they can see for abnormalities and take samples. Some doctors use one too big - that hurts a little. Some don't warm the metal ones and it can make you cramp a little from the coldness.
But you can ask them to use a smaller one and to run it under warm water or warm it in their hands first.
The one thing that can't be avoided is the cramping from the one test they do - if you cramp easily. They have to do the test to get the sample. The cramping isn't too bad and it doesn't last long although I always get a little bleeding afterwards - but that's normal - according to my doctor.
Ask your gynecologist if you can take an Advil or something before the test if you don't want to cramp. Ask them not to use the largest speculum only for their convenience, and ask them to warm it before using it.
The breast exam should be very fast and they shouldn't have to squeeze hard or anything like that to get it done.
Mammograms can be uncomfortable and some friends of mine say thay hurt.
If your doctor refuses to be sensitive to your issues, get a new one - preferably a woman if there is one where you live.
Good luck! :-)

If you are asking about a routine pelvic examination like the one a woman should get once a year after she reaches puberty then no, it should not hurt.
In the exam the patient is asked to remove her clothing, usually from the waist down, if a breast exam is to be performed as well, then all clothes are removed and the patient puts on a gown that opens to the front. After the patient is gowned and she is laying down on her back on an exam table, her feet are placed in stirrups and her waist and below are draped with a paper towel. for privacy. The doctor will hopefully explain each step of the exam as she performs it beginning with a visualization of the external genitalia. She will do an internal vaginal exam with her finger while feeling the uterus from the abdomen with her other hand. The doctor may or may not perform a digital rectal exam with her finger, both of these exams are done with lubrication and do not hurt. At this point the doctor will insert a smooth metal tool called a Speculum with lubrication into the vagina. The speculum is hinged and when opened allows the doctor to look up into the vagina to the neck of the Uterine opening or Cervix. Once she visualizes the Cervix she will take a cotton swab and a small wand and take tissue samples from the surface of the skin on the Cervix. This does not hurt though it can feel rather odd the first time it is experienced. This procedure obtains the samples needed to test for the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV which is believed to cause most cervical cancers now found in women. The cells will also be analysed for other abnormalities as well.
By now you are probably squirming in your seat but this all takes about 1-2 minutes once you are draped and the doctor sits down and starts looking. If a manual breast exam is to occur this is quick and simple and merely involves the doctor looking at each breast one at a time and then gently pushing the breast with her fingertips in a circle starting at the nipple and moving outward to the underarm.
If you are in your teens to twenties your doctor will want you to be vaccinated for HPV
