I don't understand why this was so painful for me...

[PuterChick]

Mine wasn't painful, just a tad uncomfortable. My Dr. was very gentle!

Wait till you have to have a mammogram! I had my first this year (five years late), and they have to smash your boob between two plates!!! They found something so I had to go back for more mammograms and then they did a sonogram and found a cyst. I just need to keep an eye on it and make sure to go back yearly........

I had the same experience as you with a woman too. I had an ovarian cyst. I told her 2 times that I was a virgin and the minute she started, I told her to stop. She didn't and instead she kept going. I screamed and yelled and begged her to stop and when she was done, she walked out of the room. I sat up and blood came pouring out of my vagina because the bitch tore my hymen.

I'm 38 so have had years worth of pap smears (and have given birth). It's extremely uncomfortable and unpleasant every time, and this is with several different doctors. It's not so much painful but I dread it and it is never a good experience. The only thing that makes it better is when they get it over with quickly.

My exam was horrific!! As soon as he put his finger in I was crying, in so much pain I was 14. He kept pushing my legs back further and further I thought he was going to brake them! Instead of considering my pain and me crying he carried on with 4 fingers and putting them in more and more he told me to be naked so I was already very uncomtable it was a horrible experience I started shaking and it was pouring of blood I've never had one done since.

After horror stories I've heard about female GPs, I ended up going to a male doctor and he was lovely. It didn't hurt, it was just extremely uncomfortable and like nothing I've been through before, so I did hate it and I wish I didn't have to do it, but tough luck

I had my first exam today but it was so paid ful and traumatic. She couldn't even finish putting in the speculum and I was painfully exclaiming ouch ouch stop!stop!She tried another speculum. I think the smallest one she had. I tried to relax and do what I needed to do but it was still too painful. So she just examined me with her fingers. She said it seemed normal in there. I came home and had some blood.I have an ultrasound scheduled for next week non invasive.I will not let them do this again! This was worse than being catheterized at the urologist. She tried until it didn't hurt anymore.At some point she got it in without hardly any pain.

It is sometimes painful but a doctor does not care about pains, they are seen as minor ones in fact, he or she has to check out several things in the same time if cannot relax for some reason then It is a painful exam. A smear can be painful but there is a reason for It . The gyne must get cells from various locations in the cervix and if she skips one of these locations then the cervical smear is not valid. Clearly It means you can Have a serious issue and know nothing about It. I hate such exams and all invasive ones I wish they had non invasive méthods to check out our whole body from head to toe.

The catch 22 is if you hurt while getting examined you will tense up and that makes it harder on the doctor. I apologized that I could not help the doctor do her job.

I am still spotting some where they hurt me on Monday. I knew something was wrong. I think its supposed to be normal but I may call my GPs nurse. She is super nice.

i just had my very first exam like a week ago and i had the same experience as you. it was extremely painful that the doctor couldnt finish the exam. crazy part is that im not a virgin. i had sex once but it was years ago (the WORST experience of my life). But just with the tip of the docs fingers was unbareable. AND on top of that, now im experience a bit dryness and a lot of sensitivity down there. Even to wash myself hurts.

 

[myeka]

I've had more than one and they all hurt. You're not alone!

Hello,
i also was an virgin and 20 years old. I went to my moms gynecologist whom was nice. However I was stuck with a different doctor when it came down to when I had to get the Pap smear. First off, my gynecologist had no sympathy for my virgin self and said to me in a nasty tone oh sorry but this will hurt. she inserted the speculum and it hurt very much. My vagina was tense. Also I have an very small vagina and it is really tight. It felt as if she inserted an pregnant women's speculum in me. Then there was this big brush and it looked so big that it could have been used for an elephant. Luckily she stopped because I was crying. Like it hurt so bad. I am still a virgin but probably will go after I have intercourse which is soon. Honestly I am so happy that I only have to worry about it every 3 years.

It is not normal. A little annoyance is felt when the fluid is wet for the examination. He would have to stop for me the exam.
