Do I have to?

Question

My mom has been pestering me the past week about going to see a gynecologist but I have so much anxiety that it literally brings me to tears. I'm too afraid to look at my own body much less show someone else. What should I do?

Answer

Well I've had to get undressed for the doctor and had my back exposed. They didn't pay attention to my rolls, my stretch marks, nothing stopped them from doing their job. The gynecologist isn't their to judge you, they're there to make sure your health is up to par. I'd say go, to avoid anything unwanted in the future.

Answer

That gynecologist has seen every type of body and every type of vagina there is. They literally don’t care about anything but making sure you don’t have any STD/STIs, lumps and bumps and making sure if you’re sexually active you’re being safe and know all your options. Make the appointment, tell the doctor you’re nervous and I’m sure they will be so helpful. If you need to, have them explain what they will be doing, before and while they’re doing it. My gyno did it without me even asking her the first time I had to have a pap done, she was just like and now I’m gonna do this you’re gonna feel this blah blah. It’s all very clinical. You’re gonna be okay!
Good luck!!!

Answer

It'll be fine. The gynecologist has seen so many bodies and they are not there to judge you. They are there to help you and make sure you are healthy. I was nervous my first time going to gynecologist at 16 yrs old and it really wasn't bad.

Answer

Trust me they aren’t judging you. It’s their job to make sure you are healthy.
