Doctors appointment tomorrow, and im scared.?

Question

My mom told me that she is taking me to the doctor tomorrow with her. Me and my mom do not talk about anything at all. Its just emberressing and we dont discuss it.

I am to scared to ask her what is going to happen. But as I assume I am going to the Gyno. Is it normal for a 16 year old to go to there if they have never had sex, and nothing is wrong with them?

Can anyone tell me what is going to happen?
Or what kind of questions they might ask?

Answer 1

First of all, you don't need a pap smear if you've never had sex.

Second, when you are in the doctor's office, you have the right to ask for privacy when answering medical questions, and because of privacy laws, they are not allowed to tell you mom any of your answers. The only time they can (legally) break confidentiality is if you tell them that you are being abused by someone.

Why don't you just ask your mom why she is taking you to the doctor?

Maybe she wants the doctor to talk to you about birth control options?

They will ask you when was your last period and if you ever had sex. They will ask you other questions about you rgeneral health as well.

Well, if they do end up giving you an annual exam with a pap smear, even though you don't need it....this is what will happen:

The doctor will check you heart lungs, and thyroid. You will get a breast check where the doctor feels your breasts to make sure there are no lumps there. You will have to take off your pants and underewear and the doctor will look at you genitals to make sure the skin on the outside is normal. Then, the doctor puts a speculum in your vagina to hold it open so he can see inside and check the inside of the vagina. This part feels a little uncomfortable...but if you breathe deeply, its a little better. The doctor will use a big Q-tip near your cervix to test the cells to see if they are abnormal. Finally, the doctor takes out the speculum and inserts a gloved finger into your vagina while pushing on your belly at the same time---this is to feel you internal reproductive organs to make sure that they feel right.

Hope that helps!

I think you should ask your mom what kind of appointment it is and why she wants you to have it.

Good luck!

If you are 16 years old, you have a right to know what you are seeing the doctor for.
They will ask questions about periods, birth control, and infections.
If you have never had sex, and aren't planning to, you don't need to see the gynecologist.
The will ask you to undress, and put a gown on with the opening in the front. Then they put you on a table with stirrups on it.
The doc will come in, intro him or herself, and probably ask if
you ever had an exam before. He will explain what he is doing before he does it.
First, he does a breast exam, and asks you if you examine your breasts at home. This is not painful, but sometimes a little uncomfortable, if you haven't had one before.
The nurse will help you put your feet in the stirrups.
Then, the doc will use a speculum [ a metal instrument that looks sort of like a duck's bill ] to gently open the entrance to your vagina. He uses a special swab [ vaguely like a Q-tip ] to swab the inside of your cervix - that might feel a little crampy.
Then he puts two fingers in the vagina, puts the other on top of your abdomen, and gently presses around your cervix, uterus, tubes, and ovaries [ ovaries are as sensitive as testicles, so it will be uncomfortable when he touches them ].
Last, he may do a finger rectal exam.
I do not recommend the vaccine for cervical cancer, because I won't take any drug that hasn't been out for three years [ they don't know the bad outcomes yet ].
I went to the GYN before I ever had sex, and the most I felt was discomfort, not pain. Try not too worry.
If you are not seeing the GYN tomorrow, go before you become sexually active later, so you can get birth control.

Answer 3

oh how fun! they will give you a bunch of paper work to fill out mainly to get an idea of your family's history of illness.
they will ask you the date of your last period and if you think you could be pregnant. Don't get embrassed they ask everyone that.
They will most likely do a pelvic exam it is not very fun. It can be painful for some people, also some people bleed a little bit after the exam so take a pantyliner or pad with you and put it on afterwards just in case. The important thing to remember is to try and RELAX during the exam, the best way I can describe it is. . . it is a little painful and uncomfortable and you may feel a "pinch" inside of you, that is them taking a sample of your tissue to run test on just to make sure everything is ok.
it is very normal for a 16 year old virgin to go even if you think you don't have any problems ther could be problems that you don't know you have.
i am sure everything is ok. don't worry about it.
there is a vaccine against cervical cancer you should really ask about it every girl should get it if possible. ask your doctor about it.

Relax. It's healthy for a girl to start going to a gynecologist. Talk to the dr. or nurse alone w/o your mom. They will probably ask you if you are having sex, have any questions about birth control, have any symptoms (itching, etc.). Trust me, nothing you say will shock these people and they will not run out and tell your mom what you said and it's good to have a relationship w/ a dr. you can talk to so when you do want to have sex you understand that you can get pregnant and what you can do to prevent it till you want to have a baby, or if, not, how to prevent it all together.
If they do an exam, ask for a woman dr. You lie down and they gently look at your private parts. Try to relax. Trust me, they won't think you are a slut for relaxing and the more times you do it (kind of like putting a tampon it the first time) the easier it gets. Don't be ashamed of your body. Only be ashamed if you aren't taking care of it by going to a dr. every so often to be checked out. Relax. You will be fine.

Answer 5

I suffer from anxiety and take medication for depression and nxiety. However there are many solutions to this problem and many are not medication related.Relaxation breathing, cognitive therapy that helps change the way you think about things (this helps alot). It is best ot see a dr and understand your options. It's ok to cry the dr will have seen this mny times. No noe can orce you take medication. Look at it as getting help from an xpert. I is better if you trust your dr and also important if you see a counsellor to have a good connection with them. If you confide in them it is best. Switch if you do not feel comfortable with your health person. Good luck and understanding the anxiety and its cause and solution will help greatly.

Answer 6

No it is not normal. Usually, you first begin going to the gyno after you are 21 and after you have had sex. Most doctors won't perform any of the normal check ups until you have had sex.

Answer 7

Honestly, I'm 27 and have been to see a GYN 3 times and they've never done an exam on me. Why? Because until last year, I was a virgin. So, they may not do one on you either unless there's a specific reason to.

Answer 8

honestly i talked to my mom about this and she asked her doc. when i should start going and they told her that i dont need to go unless im having probs. so i wouldnt worry about going even if she is taking you there unless you done something that you werent suppose to do that you dont want anyone to know about.

Answer 9
