Does going to a gynocologist hurt?

Answer 1

It can be uncomfortable (physically/emotionally) but it doesn't generally hurt. It's a bit invasive, because you'll probably have a speculum inserted into your vagina to open it up so the gynecologist can get a good look and perform a Pap smear, which involves taking an internal skin scrape on a stick, but it isn't truly painful. If you're nervous, let your doctor know this and ask him/her to explain what they're doing to help feel comfortable with the process. But don't let your fear about the exam deter you from making the appointment. Gynecologist exams are critical to your overal health care.

Answer 2

If it is your first time it can be a bit scary, and, if you are self conscious about your body, a bit embarassing too. What you must realise is that the GYN is used to this and a good one will try to set your mind at ease. The Dr's job is to check and make sure everything is as it should be.. there is no SEXUAL conotation involved. Yes, he/she are looking at and into your most intimate places and it may be uncomfortable, but, remember though you as a person are unique, you have nothing the Dr. has not seen probably a thousand times before. So, just relax, no need to be scared.
