My first appointment with a gyno is tomorrow, and I’m very nervous.
Hi all, so tomorrow is my (25F) first visit with a gynecologist in general, and also a consultation for a bisalp. I’ve never had a Pap smear or pelvic exam due to extreme trauma, and I’m wondering how many of you were able to get it done during the surgery instead of before. I’m trying to mentally prepare myself for her asking if I want to just do it tomorrow if during surgery isn’t an option, I know every doctor is different but I just need feedback to calm my mind. I’ve read a bunch on this sub, and I’ve researched a bunch. I picked a doctor from the childfree list, and I’m feeling optimistic about the surgery in general but just can’t get past the idea of a pelvic exam while awake. I’m sure some of you can relate, so what did you do to help calm your nerves and how did your first visit go?
