I thought I was suppose to see the gyno once every six months, because I asked my mom about the last time I saw one and that was in sept of last year. So she said I could set an appt. to see one now since I had a sudden change in my minora labia or smaller lips whatever, and I still have some itching. But I felt embarassed to tell the lady that I needed a YEARLY check up for a paps smear, and she was like "your not suppose to see your doctor until sept. 13th, why do you want to see you her now?" she sounded rude when she said it and made me uncomfortable. But I just told her I had some itching problems still. But anyways its scary spreading your legs in front of a stranger, thank god my doctor is a lady so it will be ok i guess. But its gonna be the first time because this doctor is new. How do you feel when you go see the gyno.? do you still get nervous even though you seen every year? Im scared right now.

Your experience seeing the GYNO...

**dont' be scared, or embarrassed, nurses and doctors see between peoples legs, to put it bluntly, all the time in certain departments, its just how it is, and its not a big thing to them, its nothing different. Get in the right frame of mind, you just have to do it and forget about it. ** :laughing:

You don't need to go every 6 months. I think the rule is now if you're under the age of 30 (I'm not quite sure of the age, but it's some where around there) and you've had a normal pap smear you don't need to go every year, it's every other year or something like that. You could always go to your primary care doctor.

I don't get nervous at all. Actually, I kinda look forward to it just so it can be done with AND that I know everything down there is safe. My Gyno makes me feel really comfotable and talks to me normally.
