Can going to the gynecologist hurt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should not: Be too uncomfortable depending on what your situation is , most gyns take pride in not trying to cause pain when they do a pelvic exam, i rec going to a board certified experienced gyn.

Why does the speculum at the gynecologist hurt?
Why do male gynecologists pretend they understand my pain? "you'll feel 'pressure'" "i know it hurts" what's the point in lying? It makes me angrier.
When I visit my gynecologist for my regular checkups, the speculum is usually difficult to insert and might hurt, so it's hard to insert anything unless I'm aroused, so my gynecologist asks me to stimulate myself or asks to do it. Is that normal?
16, can't see a gynecologist. Hard, white bump underneath the clithood on the actual clit. It hurts when pressure is applied. Not sexually active. Had it for a long time now. I'm not sure what it is. It looks like a pimple is masturbation causing it?
