No period for the last 4 months.spotting yesterday only for an hour now its stopped.a 20 year old virgin but anemic.doctor wants to do a pap smear.

Yes: A pelvic exam is reasonable. You also need lab work to discover the cause of the anemia. Most anemia in a young woman is caused by menstrual blood loss. If no periods for a long time that cause is suspect. Work with your doctor to figure this out.
