You can see a female OR male gynocologist. Neither is more knowledgable than the other because they both went to medical school and are licensed to practice. When I first started going to the gyno, I was more comfortable with a woman doctor. But now that I’ve had 2 children, I don’t mind either one. Your mom will be in the room with you (or at least she better be), and so will a nurse. By law, a nurse has to accompany a doctor when doing a pelvic exam. So you won’t be alone. It helps if the doctor doing the exam tells you what he or she is going to do next. The exam itself isn’t horrible. It’s uncomfortable, I won’t lie. You’ll feel some pressure, just remember to breath. Holding your breath will make you tense up, therefore making it hurt worse. So breath evenly and slowly. If it helps, keep a conversation going with your mom or the nurse, so you’re not focusing on the exam. Good luck.
I would talk to your mom about which YOU prefer, either a man or a woman. I’ve had both and I prefer a woman b/c I feel like I can relate better.
The first visit can be scary but mostly, you’ll pee in a cup, change into a gown and then the doctor will come in. You’ll lie down and have breasts examined for lumps. Then, they’ll have you put your legs in stirrups and if they are a good OB, they’ll explain what they are about to do step by step so that you know what’s coming.They may poke around with their gloved fingers to make sure nothing is out of place or lumpy and if you’re getting a PAP they’ll get TINY sample of tissue to examine. Every doctor does it differently, but just relax b/c then it will be over sooner!
Have your mom take you out to lunch afterwards! Or to buy a new shirt!
well first of all it is totally normal to be nervious. ive had many many exams and i still get nervious. but i must also tell you the more relaxed you are the more comfortable you will be during your exam. and i also must argue with your mom as i have seen my fair share of of both men and women gyno and women tend to be better as they understand what it is like to be laying on that table and also they all be it man or women have to go to school to be a gyno. tell your mom that you would be more comfortable with a women unless of course you are ok with a man
It’s not that bad. Doctors are very professional. They go to med school and study the entire body. Female doctors are hand picked by the top professional teachers of medicine. Just explain those feelings to your doctor before he does his exam. A good Doctor will explain what he will be doing and only perform the most important procedures. Good luck.
Is there a reason WHY your mother is taking you to a gyn???
You shouldnt be nervous or scared at all, GYN’s are trained for this specific kind of thing…as far as having a boy doc or a girl doc, i prefer women just because they tend to be more gentle then a guy…I dont know about her saying that a boy is more familiar then a girl……..we have the same parts as a girl doc so that doesnt make any sense….
Just relax and BREATHE. If they are doing a pap smear, they will put lubrication on a speculum and insert it into you to open your vagina. Then they will take swabs from inside you and then they take it out. They mayb ask you some questions and then you should be done….
Good luck.
i went through the same thing.
except my doctor is my moms doctor & the hes the mad that delivered me & my brother…so i thought it would okay.
but when i got there, there was noooo way i wanted to show him down there ; i didn’t feel comfortable at all…but i got use to it after the third time.
good luck honey =)
I’m going to ask you a question, and when you respond, I’ll edit this.
Are you a virgin? The reason I’m asking is because the procedure is different depending on if your hymen is intact.
