A member asked:
Should a pelvic exam be painful? it wasn't just discomfort/tightness, it burned very badly and did not go away until it was over. i am a virgin.

No : But if the doc used a speculum that was too big it will hurt a lot. Why did you have a speculum pelvic exam?!

Not painful: Most people would not describe a pelvic exam as 'pleasant' but it should not be painful. What you are describing sounds pretty typical.
