TMI story and OBGYN question
This is kinda a long story leading to my question, sorry, I just need to vent first. Ok so I’m 17 and I’ve never had sex, not because I didn’t want to but because it hurt worse than anything I’ve ever felt before. I can’t wear tampons which SUCKS because I have like the worlds heaviest periods, plus ovarian cancer and endometriosis run in my family so not being able to have a Pap test is scary. I’ve been to an OBGYN multiple times and they didn’t help, they just kept saying they had to do a pelvic exam to confirm it was vaginismus (which I KNEW it wasn’t but she insisted it did) and that I “didn’t look like I had a hymen”, even though she never really got to look. So I got a mirror out a push through the fear and pain and once I got a cotton swab in for the first time in my life (yes it hurt so bad I couldn’t even do that) I tried a finger, and I got it, so I tried another and it felt like a piece of sting or rubber-band was in the way of my finger, so I looked again and I released I had a “septate hymen” (since their was [at least] two openings but as far as I know only one vagina) and I have experienced a lot of similar things to woman that have them, like trouble getting a tampon in and when I do trouble getting it out. So I guess my question is if I tell my OBGYN that will they have to do a Pap test or will they be able to see without anything inserted, because I literally had a panic attack whenever they tried before.
