Girl only! Help!?!

Girl only! Help!?

I'm 19 my older sister sais it's about time I go see the gyno for a cervical cancer check. I don't want to though b/c that means they have to stick something up you and it will hurt. I don't know all the facts but I'm terribly scared b/c I'm not (active).

No need to be scared, but if scared you are then talk to your sister more and familiarize yourself with your own body and talk about it alot it might take some of the fear away...the Gyno is one place a woman can go to and not feel ashamed about what goes on down south. Whether you are active or not, the Dr. is well trained in being sensitive to a young womans apprehensions. If you have a female Dr. this might help you become less nervous (but men Dr. are JUST as qualified) They see who-has' every day and night so seeing yours is like looking at a blank piece of paper..meaning..they all look the same no matter how many you have in front of you! They are proffessional and they keep it this way. As far as hurting, I can't say, everyones' threshhold of pain is different. It just might feel very uncomfortable. I'm a mother of 2 and so obviously I have had sex AND seen the Gyn...and even still after delivering 2 babies...having the Dr insert their instruments feels uncomfortable...its' just something that we need to do, so we try not to think too much about it. Your sister is right and you should be seeing a GYN especially at your age. whether you are active or not, making sure you are in working order is always a smart thing to do. Make an appointment and don't be afraid to tell your Dr that you are scared and worried about the insertion of her?his tools because you are not sexually active. They will have NO problems trying to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Good Luck sweetie. Just try an drelax because the more you tense up the more uncomfortable it will get.
