I am 26 and have never been to the gynecologist. I have also never been sexually active, and never had any problems. I have recently been having problems with my menstrual cycle though, and want to set up an appt, and I will.
The thing is, I am scared, not just of the doctor visit but that the dr. will scold me for never getting checked anyway. I know that this sounds childish but I have always been that way about doctors and medicine and such. Luckily, I have never been a sickly person.
I definitely plan to go to the doctor and start getting checkups. I just wanted to know if it is that uncommon that women wait long after they are 18 to go to the gyno. It is bad, what should I expect?
