A member asked:
I'm scared for my first vaginal exam what can i expect? will it hurt
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hopefully not: It is important to try and be relaxed as the more stressed you are, the more your vaginal muscles can tighten and make the exam difficult. Realize, the exam is a natural procedure that is done for the assurance of your good health. If you have a good, kind, gentle, and compassionate Dr., they will know it is your first exam. A small speculum can be used with lubrication to do the exam without pain
