gynecologist

My mom made appointment this is my first time going I am really upset and scared what should I expect? Note I have never had sex ever

 

I think you need to grow up(25)... As a young women you should be checked periodically.

Nobody like a stranger poking around in them. Get used to it., They do it more often as you get older..
Men need to take warning also..
Serioulsy, You all want perfect health but dont want to go to professionals to make sure your in working order.
I dont want to sound to demanding. But my life long love would still be walking the earth if she had done went to see a Obgyn when she was 20 or less...
She died of Cervical Cancer in 1995. she was only 26. As it progressed she bleed constantly..
good luck to you..

 

dose it hurt?

 

it's not the most pleasant experience, but it doesn't hurt no...
it's not nearly as bad as what you're imagining and you'll be glad/relieved that you did it. As Orison pointed out, it is very important that you get checked out on a regular basis to avoid complications in the future....

good luck, you'll be fine

 

It might hurt cause thet have to open you up?

 

Yes, it might. You really should have had a exam by now. I wonder if you lying about your age here.


Anyway, it only hurts for a second, my entire exam is usually over in 15 minutes.

 

I am not lying I am 25 my birth day is novemebr 9th 1982

 

I never should have post here

 

I suppose you don’t believe when I said I never hade sex

 

everyone gave you great answers, the truth of the matter is- you really should have seen a gyno a long time ago, I believe yearly checkups are the standard these days from about 16 years of age on....(? someone correct me if i'm wrong-it may be even from the first period on...!?)

nobody likes going, it's the same as the dentist, or a regular doctor...but it's something that needs to be done to maintain your health, it's just the way it is.

 

My doctor said at 18 they would become yearly. Regardless of my sexual status.

 

You mother is doing the right thing by insisting you go, but she should have made this appointment years and years ago. I have trouble believing you're 25, too. Or, at least, that it's taken this long to visit an OBGYN. Relax. It's part of being a grown-up.

 

Don't say that. It was on your mind and a genuine concern, so of course you should have mentioned it. All these people are giving you good advice out of genuine concern, so take it for what it is.

The point is: You absolutely should take care of your body, so deal with your fears and make this a regular thing. Love yourself. Be well!

 

I always thought if you were having sex then you should go. I guess she never took me cause I have never had sex or something. I am 25 my birthday is in 2 days.

 

Thanks for all your advice

 

You need to go as soon as your organs are sexually mature, regardless of if you use them. Cervical cancer doesn't care if your a virgin.

 

My ex g/f use to say the same thing about cervical cancer when I said she was way too obsessed about going to the gyno, and while yes, while 11,000 new cases are diagnosed in the US every year, on the cancer totem pole, that's pretty far down the list

Really as long as you're not a smoker, aside from prostate for men and breast for women, your odds of getting even other more common cancers are still rather slim.

 

i dont' like going, it's not my favorite thing ever, but it's not the worst, either.

 

Happy birthday, by the way.

 

I am so upset. I hade the biggest panic attack today I haven’t felt this bad in months
