Don't be scared. Gyneacologists have seen many many of the same thing on women that they treat, including privates!! It may hurt, but it will hurt more in the long term if you don't get it treated now. If you are worried about seeing a male, then you should look for a women gyneacologist who has the same physiology, they know how women feel and will be gentle. You could also mention your fears to her and i'm sure she will try to be more gentle and understanding. Please don't hold off on going to see a gyneacologist because things of this type need to be seen immediately. Good luck :)

its weird but hopfully u have a nice doctor who knows how to take ur mind of the situation. they tell you to undress and put on the hospital gown. you'll get in the chair and put ur feet in the stirrups. they'll probably give you a breast exam first. press on them feeling for lumps. they may press ur tummy and pelvis as well checking for discomfort. making sure ur uterus is OK. then they'll examine ur vulva (the outside of ur privates). they put a finger or two in side u to examine you manually. then they'll use an instrument whose name i do not recall to open the vagina and swab for infection and check for any abnormalities. thats all i remember.  good luck

Go see your doctor or OB/Gyn.

You're 16...your body is still adjusting, so your period will too. You may just be cramping (my roomate gets cramps that she describes like yours and extremly heavy periods)You should see the gyno though. Just explain to your parents what is wrong with your period, they won't think it has to do with sex. And the doctor won't disclose any info you don't want them to know. Just ask to be seen in private.

I think you should discuss the matter with your gynecologist for professional advice. Please do not try to self diagnose the situation because you never know if it is a problem that you should seek professional treatment for.

First. you need to explore why you're afraid of doctors. Are you afraid of pain? Are you afraid of being out of control? Is there a reason why you might not trust doctors? Did you have a bad experience with a doctor when you were very young? \nIf you can get to these questions you might be able to figure out what you're afraid of. All I can tell you is it's not always easy to trust strangers, especially if you're sick (I know.. I'm a nurse and deal with anxious patients all the time). Try to keep in mind we're just here to help, and a doctor will have your best interests at heart.

If you haven't been to a Dr about this problem I would start there. It might just be a medical problem.

Hi there. Getting examined by a Gynecologist is not necessary at your age (teen, right?) yet, unless you are sexually active. If you are not sexually active, you don't need to just yet. When you're a bit older and decide for yourself to become sexually active, then you'll have to start going to the Gynecologist and getting examined once a year.\n\nI do hope that you haven't engaged in any sexual activity though. Don't be in such a hurry. Enjoy your teenage years, even if it's not so enjoyable sometimes. A teenager's life is hard enough as it is without adding sex into it.

he may want to do a ekg or do a stress test on you. I f you feel uncomfortable with a male doctor ask for a nurse to be present. Anyway the doctors are there to take care of what ails you not to google at your body parts.He may also want to scheduale you for a procedure to check for blockage in the heart.

It can happen. Call your GYN doctor for a check up to see what is actually going on. Hope you feel better soon.

I live in Portsmouth. If I were you I would go to the Gynae unit at St Mary's hospital in Milton Rd and just ask to speak to someone. If you explain your situation I'm sure you'll get some advice.\nGood luck,\nJon C

I wonder that you haven't taken an appointment with your doctor, yet!\nThis is an alteration to the hormonal balance of your body.\nI don't know how old are you but in any case your doc will prescribe you a series of exams to do and find out what's the problem. In the meanwhile try to be quiet, as anxiety will agravate the situation.\n\n*EDIT*\n\nYou didn't come back to give any additional information, so I thought that it will useful for you to have a look to the following site\nhttp://womenshealth.aetna.com/WH/ihtWH/r.WSIHW000/st.41823/t.42853.html\nThere are a lot of sites in the internet that you can visit and educate yourself, this is a valid one and you can explore it. \nSee also what are the Recommended health screenings and prevention steps for your age and then get an appointment with a phycisian who will prescribe to you all the necessary tests to do and SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.\n\nKaterina

Gynecologists are professional, male or female. If it is your first time, they should tell you what they are going to do before they do it and usually explain why this needs to be done. They are very gentle. The most important thing to remember when going for a vaginal exam is to relax. If you do not relax then it will hurt but if you relax, it is nothing to be afraid of. Your GYN can be of great help to you and educate you on matters that may help the fear that you have. Trust them and be honest with them.\n\nAs far as having sex, if you are scared or not ready then the time is not right for you. There is a plenty of time and no need to rush yourself. Do not let anyone push you into anything that you are not ready for.

I think you need to see a Physician, you, I and the rest of the world can speculate about it all day long but is not going to take anywhere but to despair lane.\n\nit might not be anythings serious but is always better to be safe than sorry, don't you agree dear?\n\nGodspeed

if it's really concerning to you, you should bear the uncomfortableness and probably visit a doctor .
