Absolute majority of girls are afraid of panic first meeting with a gynecologist. After a visit, fear disappears. Before you go to the shower, but do not use the means of intimate hygiene - the doctor must assess the state of the flora and take a smear - even the most gentle soap can affect the result.
You will be sent to a gynecological chair. Do not be afraid of the "iron thing" with which you will be examined. This is a gynecological mirror, and it is used not for torture, but for the convenience of a doctor. Then they will take a smear on the flora and, possibly, an infection. Ask a few questions.
A huge number of "female" diseases occur without unpleasant, and in general at least some noticeable symptoms, and any disease is much easier to cure at the initial stage. Gynecological same diseases are often a long-term treatment, with many medicines and with the abandonment of intimacy. You are not interested in the semi-annual period, in which only kisses and modest holding hands will be possible? In addition, it is the gynecologist, not the mother, the experienced girlfriend or the superpopular forum, that will be able to explain to you exactly why during sex you experience these or those sensations (and if they are unpleasant, how to deal with it). Plus will advise you about modern contraceptive methods, explain how to deal with PMS, which has more than once led to quarrels with the boyfriend and others, and with pain during critical days.
Even if you are sure that the delay is caused by stress, make an appointment.
If you have itching, burning, unpleasant sensations or strange discharge. There's nothing to be ashamed of, the doctor will not start poking at you with your finger and shout at the entire clinic: "Yeah, she got infected!" Infections can be transmitted not only through sexual intercourse, and, in the end, to heal you is his task. No matter what you are sick of and how exactly it happened.
6 months have elapsed since the last visit.
Do self-medication. If you can make a choice of cough drops yourself, the issue of women's health is subtle. Most diseases have similar symptoms, and you can diagnose only the results of tests. And wrongly selected medicines can aggravate the situation.
Choose the most contraceptive pill. And there is nothing to be afraid of or shy. The doctor will be pleased with your consciousness, will conduct tests and recommend pills or another method that is more suitable for you. Self-selected remedy can lead to acne at best, at worst - to hormonal failure, the consequences of which will have to be cleared up not one month. What has come to a friend, it does not necessarily fit you.
Lying. The doctor by no means out of curiosity asks you questions about the number of partners and the presence of active sex life. All this will help with the diagnosis, as well as in the choice of treatment.
It does not matter what happened to you, why did you come to the reception and what are you asking for. The doctor will not run to call your mom - there is a notion of "medical secret", which guarantees that everything you say in the office will remain between you and the doctor. You have to trust him. And if the thought of visiting a gynecological office causes a shudder - the examination is unpleasant, or you do not like the way you do it - you have the right to turn to another doctor. Gynecologists have both in district clinics (women's clinics) and in paid medical institutions. Choose any place.
A gynecologist will not eat you, and you should know this when you are planning on your first trip to a teenager's gynecologist. In adolescence, everything seems terrible for the first time, but this has to be tolerated, and sooner or later everything happens for the first time. Therefore, a gynecologist in this case, not even an enemy, but a friend who will help you in later life.
