Answers:
The physicals that I had during school were different than the woman's exam!. Usually in the first one, the nurse will take your stats (blood pressure, weight, do you smoke, are you sexually active, etc!.)!. Then the doctor comes in after a little bit and does some tests, like flexibility!. My doctor usually had me jump up and down (like when you were a kid), turn my ankles (this is when he found out that I have ankles that are really weak and prone to sprains and breaks), and check my breathing!. They also usually ask when your last period was and if you're on any regular meds, so if you don't want to sit there and look like an idiot for a minute while you think, you might want to check the dates and names of the meds before you leave for the appointment!.
Women's exams usually aren't required until you're either sexually active or around the age of 18-21!.
As for the shots, I really hate them too!. Some shots are more painful than others because they require being poked in different parts of your body (in the muscle, on the shoulder, in the junction between your upper and lower arm), but it helps to think of something else while they're giving you the shot!. Or else start talking about something (anything) while they're giving you the shot in order to take your mind off of your anxiety!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They'll ask you to put on a night gown thing but it is sort of open in the front then you'll lay down on a like a general doctors table but it has stirrups on either side where you can rest your feet "it really helps" then you'll just have to relax and i mean really relax while he/she is busy with the exam think of something hundred percent different and it'll all be over in a flash, they have tongs almost like the ones you use for salad which they place into your vagina and open you up a bit so they can see 'but they lube you very well first so it won't hurt' then they might want to take a swab where they'll push an over sized ear bud into the vagina "it can feel uncomfortable but doesn't last long at all!.!. then they'll insert a few fingers to feel for any cysts or abnormalities, then they'll feel your stomach and your breasts to see if there are any abnormalities!.!. but the whole thing lasts maybe 3min so just think of something nice far far in the back of your mind so you don't tense yourself up and it'll be all over lol don't worry we all go through the embarrassment of it but it never turns out bad ;-) Www@Answer-Health@Com
shots are ok, mostly they dont hurt!. most people are more scared than they are hurt!.
physicals are nothing to worry about, its not like doctors have never seen a little baby fat before!. they usualy just measure ur heart rate, potential for physical injury, any disibilities and risk of fatal diseases, like have ur family ever had a heart attackWww@Answer-Health@Com
