If you are a virgin: U do not need a speculum exam unless you are having a problem, like an abnormal discharge, if u have period problems your gyn can do an abdominal ultrasound to check the uterus and ovaries, if you want, the gyn can do a minor surgical procedure to open your hymen so it will not hurt or bleed the 1st time you have intercourse whenever that will be.

It may be stressful: Cervical dysplasia, what look for by pap, is only relevant in the presence of a sexually transmitted virus, hpv. Though recommended to get a pap at 21, you may kindly decline the speculum and pap. They will want 2 check your organs by hand exam;no symptoms, unlikely to find a problem there either.Tell doctor the situation and decline speculum if stressed; we don't want 1st vist 2 b too stressful.

If nothing--sex, etc.--has torn the hymen around introitus, then how is it that the dr. Had to stitch it up during the exam under anesthesia? He stitched it up after he hit it with the speculum.
