When you for your first gynaecological examination/visit, you may have a few examinations done, which may include the following:

A pelvic exam is a way for your gynaecologist to examine your female organs and check for any gynaecological problems.

You may be worried about your first pelvic exam. It's very normal to be anxious about something when you don't know what to expect. Hopefully after reading this, you will be reassured that it is simple, isn't painful and the actual pelvic exam takes only about 5 minutes. It is also normal to feel embarrassed or uneasy about your first exam, I still feel embarrassed with mine and I've had may many pelvic examinations over the past 10 years due to female related problems I'm experiencing.

However, if you know what to expect, it may help you relax. I'm sure your gyno understands how you feel and will be sensitive and gentle, and answer any questions you may have.

There are other important reasons to have a pelvic exam. These may include:

- Unexplained pain in your lower belly or around the pelvic area, where your vagina is;
- Vaginal discharge or wetness on your underwear that causes itching, burning or smells bad;
- No menstrual periods by age 15 or 16;
- Vaginal bleeding that lasts more than 10 days;
- Missed periods; especially if you are having sex;
- Menstrual cramps so bad that you miss school or work.

During your first check up your gyno will ask you questions about:

- Your general health, allergies and medications you are taking;
- Your menstrual period, such as how old you were when you first got it, how long it lasts, how often it comes, how much you bleed , the first day that your last period started, if you have cramps; and at what age your breasts started to develop.
- Whether you have ever had sex or have been sexually abused.
- If you have vaginal itchiness or an unusual discharge or odor from your vagina.

If you find it comforting your partner, a friend or if you are still young, your Mum can go with you for support, bear in mind that they don't have to be present in the room when you are having the pelvic examination done. After you have given your medical history, been weighed and had your blood pressure checked, you will be asked to put on a gown. You will need to remove your clothes including your underwear and bra. A breast exam is often done as a routine part of this check-up.

Your gyno will explain the steps to the exam and ask you to lie down on the exam table. You will be given a sheet to put over your stomach and legs. You will then be asked to move down to the end of the table and place your feet in stirrups (these are holders for your feet). With your knees bent, you will be asked to let your knees fall to each side allowing your legs to spread apart. This is usually the part when most women feel embarrassed. This feeling is normal too. Just remember that although this is your first exam, this is routine for your gyno and their only concern is for your health.

There are 3 parts to this exam. Sometimes not all parts of the pelvic exam are necessary. Ask your gyno which part or parts will be done for your examination.

Your gyno will first look at the area outside of your vagina, (clitoris, labia, vaginal opening, and rectum).

Now some information about the papsmear. The speculum is an instrument made of metal or plastic. Your gyno will place the speculum into your vagina. After it is inserted, it will be gently opened so that your gyno can see your vagina and your cervix (the opening to your uterus).

After checking your vagina and cervix, your gyno may take a thin plastic stick and a special tiny brush or a small "broom" and gently wipe away some of the cells from your cervix. This is a pap smear, which detects early changes of the cervix before they become cancer. Most girls have normal pap smears.

If you are having vaginal discharge, your gyno will take another sample to check for a possible yeast infection and other causes of discharge. If you are having sex, your gyno will take another sample from the cervix to check for sexually transmitted diseases. When all of these samples have been taken, your doctor will close the speculum and gently take it out.

When the exam is over, your gyno will answer any questions you have and tell you when to make your next appointment. He/she will also talk to you about any medications you may need and tell you when and how you will get the results of the exam.

I hope this information helps you out. Best of luck and remember to try to relax. If at any time during your examination, you feel uncomfortable or anything causes pain, you have the right to stop your gyno and let him/her know.

Good luck. :)

Yep pretty much every woman over the age of 16 has gone through it and you will survive it too. Just relax - close your eyes and breathe deeply and blow it out while the doc does what is necessary.

Piss on her

it's good for you...make sure you don't die of cervical cancer, etc. it might hurt a little..depends on your doctor..I had a doctor once who hurt really bad but it never hurt with anyone else...so...oh they also do breast exams on you..so be ready to open up your gown too! it's not so bad..

ahaha

im a guy,
but i wanna tell you.
dont panic.
call 911 if ur that worried.
or just wait till yur next appointment with your daoctor and ask him

Get used to it, you should be getting your pap smear and your pelvic exam once a year. It may be uncomfortable, but it's way better than the alternative.

It's not a big deal at all. They insert a small tool to open your vagina so they can see better. They swab (pap-smear) then they insert a finger to make sure your cervix is okay. Can be a bit uncomfortable. But nothing to be worried about.

Yeah. i have. it's not as bad as you think. It doesn't hurt it's just really uncomfortable and awkward. Don't worry (: it'll be over in no time.

relax you will get used to it ....Just listen to the doctor and trust me they have seen everything !!

It's normal to feel that way, especially if it's your first time. Just relax..it will be a bit uncomfortable but it's something that we have to go through.

It's not bad at all. They do have to stick their fingers in there though, which can be kind of akward, but the whole thing only lasts a few minutes. Don't worry about it; I thought it would be horrible too but it's fine.

just relax. She or he only checks your breasts and your private parts. she just moves her finger in a circle around your breasts. YOu wil feel comfortable too

What do you mean, "what should you do?" What is it that you wanna do? Just Relax. She's gonna stick an instrument inside your vagina, She may press lightly on your stomach where your cervix is to check it.

Millions of women have done this. It's uncomfortable, it's not any fun and it can be a little embarrassing. But it's over pretty quick, and it's important to do it. Just try to relax and think of other things while you're being examined. I was 17 the first time I got an annual physical exam, and I get one every year.

What ever you do, do not let the doctor torture you like they did to a certain person I know. You have a right to say stop!

firs of all...if you are not sexually active you don't need any doctor looking down there. Down there should be a common place for you. You need to know what it looks like too. I always carry a mirror or ask for one prior to any pelvic exam. Down there belongs to me and I need to watch what's being done. I also ask questions throughout the entire process. Also read as much as you can about the female body, know it, understand it, own it.
A good place to start is Women's Bodies Women's Wisdom by Christian Northrop..its a best seller and easy to find

It's not fun, but necessary. There really is nothing you can do but suck it up; it's all over real fast anyway. You need to get used to it because you need to get one at least once a year. It's recommended that you get tested for STDs twice a year once becoming sexually active.
