What Women Think About Going To The Gynecologist
It’s not all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows!
1. You realize it’s time for your yearly checkup.
2. And it’s more annoying than anything else, but you’re just like…
5. And when you finally get into the room, they give you a sheet of paper to wear as a dress.
6. Then you sit, wearing your sheet, and wait. And wait. And keep waiting.
8. And you kind of wish you were back to waiting.
11. But more than anything, you want the doctor to know…
12. So, the doctor tries to make small talk and asks you how many partners you’ve had in the past year.
16. In the end, though, you pull your pants back on and calm down.
17. That is, until they say they’ll call with the results of your pap smear.
22. Bidding farewell to this whole, awful experience.

My 22 year old co worker was diagnosed with cervical cancer after a pap smear. After chemo and radiation she has been cancer free or in remission for 4 years now. I have a friend that lost her battle with cancer at 41 this past oct 2012. Was diagnosed at 27 and fought cervical then uterine cancer. Pap smears are the least of my worries.

Jennifer Abraham 4 months agoI find it interesting how many people don’t seem to understand that if you have no symptoms, have never had sexual contact of any sort, have no *intention* of having sex either, and don’t have a family history of cancer…there’s really no point in this. I’ve made it to 28 dodging the dreaded female doctor on this, and battled with MANY doctors about this very point, but no doctor can *force* you to have an exam. They can “strongly recommend”, but by law, no one can force you, and if they do, that’s illegal. (There’s always a risk of losing health insurance benefits though, so…this may be more important to you. For those of us with no insurance anyway, it’s a win-win to avoid it.) If you look at ANY other country in the world and their standards of practice for the regularity of when they conduct these exams? Many countries will not even think of forcing these on a virgin, they conduct the exam only once every several years (in some countries it’s every 3, some it’s every 5)…..and yet they have far lower instances of women with reproductive cancer. Hmmmmm. Sorry, but no matter what anyone tries to force down my throat as necessary, I’m not going to blindly follow like a sheep just because society has come to accept it as the way things are and falsely believe that zomg, without these exams, our reproductive organs are ticking time bombs waiting to kill us all! No. You’re smart people and you know better than that. And especially if you’re one of the handful of people who’ve never had any sort of intimate contact whatsoever, not even kissing, the odds of you contacting to virus that causes cervical cancer? Basically zero. (Although, trying to get a doctor to believe you that you’ve never had any sort of sexual contact in your life, whatsoever, is its own battle and they usually try and accuse you of lying, because apparently in their minds, it’s physically impossible for a person to exist who has zero interest in that shit and is repulsed even by the thought of it. What even ever. It’s every bit in your rights as a patient to up and leave if they don’t respect your rights.

Personally? Yeah. If other people want to go and do that, more power to them, live your own lives. But personally I just want no part of that whole mess. I know I’m not normal and hell if I know if there’s even anyone else who feels like I do about these things, but I’m always extremely uncomfortable with physical contact of any sort, no matter how benign it may be. I flinch it someone even taps me on the shoulder. So you can imagine how invasive to my personal space even *imagining* something like even a kiss would be, and in turn sex, in my mind, freaks me the hell out. It’s instant panic attack territory for me and I just don’t want any part of it. Needless to say, I’m not of the dating sort. But don’t take my personal views and feelings about it as an attack; I don’t think it’s gross for *other* people to do those things who actually want to be doing them. It’s just not for me.

hannahc20 4 months agothe first (and so far only) time I went to the gyno was for a yeast infection. I had just gotten back from a summer of being a camp counselor and the less than stellar hygiene facilities were to blame. I was super nervous (they retook my blood pressure at the end and it was several dozen points lower). the gyno let me do the swab myself. I was immediately indebted to that woman for life.

Bleeding? I was a virgin when I went my first time and I didn’t bleed. You may need to see a different gyno, think about your health. I know it’s scary, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

kbrucebruce 4 months agoand then the sequel, the abnormal pap followup with partial biopsy/whatever. and it feels like they’re ripping your cervix out cell by cell..

aml 4 months agoThose evil gyno (yes they are evil because they seem to enjoy my pain) never believe me when I request the smaller speculum because I always bleed after their exam.
I actually have to throw a tantrum to get them to comply.
One gyno found polyps and had me go through a gauntlet of increasingly painful precedures. I swear I was never the same afterwards.
“That’s surprising, the polyps vanished! You still need to come next month for another exam.”
Needless to say, I never went back to her!
And aetna only covered half the costs of those procedures.
Evil! All of them are evil, I tell you!

Yeah, no. It’s not that bad and there’s no freak out. It’s just like getting the oil changed.
