Last exam was sooo painful. Really sharp stabbing pain. It felt as though a sharp knife, was cutting me. This is no exaggeration.
Doctor told me it hurt, because i was sooo tense. So tense i clamped down on the Speculm.
How can i relax my plevic muscles ??
please help me. So scared of going back, because of pain

Consider a different doctor if you believe yours isn't gentle. But relaxing is extremely important.

You do need to relax. Best bet is to NOT look, and breathe DEEPLY. If you need to bring a teddy bear with you to squeeze, instead of your pelvic muscles, feel free.
But really, it's up to you. Just take deep breaths and make a conscious effort to NOT clench up.
You can also ask the doctor to warm the gel they use on the speculum, or warm the speculum itself so that the shock of the cold doesn't cause you to clench. You may also ask if they have a plastic or molded speculum, instead of a metal one, as they tend to feel a little less cold when inserted.

When we do a pap in our office the doctor tells the patient to relax and breathe. Sometimes it helps to think of something else also. Don't be scared just learn to relax. good luck.

tell the checklist ahead which you're a virgin. if he/she is a very good one, he/she would be in a position to not harm you. i don't understand why you have a pelvic examination, yet please loosen up. it would experience slightly uncomfortalbe because of the fact which you at the instant are not used to, whether it shoud not harm. you will take a seat on that chair and could open your legs. if the checklist rather cares, the contraptions shoud be warmed up. don't be petrified of the contraptions, they seem worse than they are. in case you're rather scared, you could take your mom or a pal with you to hold your hand. (additionally while that is not mandatory, smile). in case you think of you could not get alongside with that checklist, get yet another one. communicate with him/her in the previous and tell him/her approximately your concerns. the checklist is there that might assist you including your concern, to not harm you. maximum mandatory element is the verbal replace between checklist and affected person. please do not subject and all the terrific

Just try and relax, look up and try to focus on one thing, or try having your bestfriend or someone your close to come with you, you will be more relaxed.

Try taking a friend or mom with you to talk to / distract you. Take a cd player and listen to music.

This happens to alot of people, just close your eyes, picture you are someplace else, and breathe deep, it will be over before you know it.
