Do you have to go to a Gynecologist to be put on birth control. I makes me really uncomfortable about the thought of someone looking down there. I'm already self conscious enought. I'm already uncomfortable at normal doctors. Couldn't I just ask a normal doctor or do I HAVE To go to a gynecologist.

Your normal doctor can do it, but all doctors will want to do a pap smear first. Even at planned Parenthood. There are worse things in the world than pap smears, the sooner you get over your irrational fear of them, the better for you. Everyone under the sun sticks their fingers inside you when you're in labor. So would you rather have one pap smear to make sure you're healthy or a million doctor and nurses checking you every half hour? There's always a female nurse present if you have a male doctor and it's over before you even know it.

You do not have to go to a gynecologist. A family practitioner, any doctor, actually can prescribe birth control. But what makes you think just because s/he is not a gynecologist s/he won't "look down there?" Probably will.

you dont have to go to the gynecologist, you can go to your GP, they dont always look "down there" it depends on what type of birth conrtol you are looking into and sometimes its just routine questions
