This is common: 1st, a thorough history of the problem; next a brief general exam, look at her external genitalia. An exam does not necessarily require using the stirrups, speculum, nor bimanual (internal) exam. The history and preliminary exam will determine what, if more, needs to be done. Don't be apprehensive, approach it like a dr. Trip for sore throat-matter of fact. Dr. Is here to solve the problem.

Insist on a proctor: Your doctor should never examine your minor child without you present or without a proctor in the room to monitor the exam. For her protection, insist on this at all visits.
