When she was 16, my wife had started dating her boyfriend at the time. Being the proactive person that she is, she told her mom that she wanted to go on birth control. Her mom was more than happy to do so, but told Lisa that she was going to need to have a “big girl” exam at the doctors, and what that would entail. Undaunted, she asked her mom to schedule an appointment. She of course wanted a female doctor, but with all the extra-curricular activities that were in her schedule, the only appointment that was available was with a male doctor. Her mom asked if that was okay, and wanting to just get the birth control and be done with it, Lis agreed.
On the day of her appointment, her mom came to pick her up around noon at school. She got in the car and was driven to the local hospital where her appointment was to take place. They had to walk down a bunch of corridors and hallways until finally they arrived at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department. They checked in with the nurse at the desk and took a seat in the waiting room. Lisa looked around and noticed how many pregnant women were there. Soon a nurse came through the doors and called her name and in she went.
She was taken to a large hospital room that looked like it was also used for baby appointments. There was a small scale on one table where one would weigh an infant. On the far side of the room parallel to the wall was a standard examination table. In the middle of the room was another taller exam table, which was affixed with metal footholds. Above the table on the ceiling was a laminated picture of tulips. My wife questioned why that was there, while the nurse took her temperature, blood pressure and weight.
The nurse asked her a few questions like why she was there, Lisa responded that she wanted to be on birth control. She also asked if she wanted her mom to come back with her. My wife knew that there was going to be a doctor looking at her vagina, and of course would have been mortified to have her mom there as well, so she declined.
The nurse went to a cabinet and grabbed a cup and a smock. She told Lisa that she needed to go into the bathroom connected to the room and pee into the cup, then get completely undressed and put on the gown so it was open in the front. The nurse left the room and Lisa went into the bathroom.
She pulled down her pants and underwear and sat on the toilet and peed into the cup. She didn’t know where to put the cup so she just placed it on a nearby shelf. Because her pants were already at her ankles, she finished completely taking off her bottoms and panties and folded them neatly. Then came her shirt and her bra until she was completely naked. She had never been to a doctor before where they had asked her to take off everything, and it felt really strange for her to be naked in a place that wasn’t her own home. She put on the smock which felt rather exposed since it opened in the front, and stepped out into the room.
She took a seat on the flat bed against the wall and waited for the doctor. Her heart was thumping so loudly because she didn’t know what to expect. She knew a man would be walking through that door but she didn’t know anything about him, which made her more nervous. When the doctor finally walked through the door she was relieved to see that the nurse had come in after him. She knew that even though there were gonna be two people there looking at her vagina, there was a woman there and she wouldn’t be alone
The doctor was an old Jewish man named Dr. M. He was thankfully warm and friendly and he sat down and made small talk with her. The nurse sat down at a computer and the doctor started asking her questions about her health and sexual history. She wasn’t sexually active at the time but wanted to be. After the questions were done, he told her to lie down on the flat bed against the wall and put her hands above her head so that he could examine her breasts.
She distinctly remembered how cold his hands were the first time he touched her. He felt around her breasts looking for any kind of lumps or abnormalities. Because the table was against the wall, she then had to get up and lay the other way so that he could check the other side as well. She found it awkward to perform this maneuver while still keeping the smock covering her butt, which is rather large for a person her size.
Once he checked the other breast, he then opened her gown a little and felt around her abdomen. He repeatedly tapped one hand against the other all over that area. It was kind of awkward as well because he was feeling around past the line where her underwear usually rests. After he was done, he had her sit up and did a bit more small talk, which she thought was surreal because he was basically just finished fondling her.
He then told her it was time for the gynecological part of the exam. To her chagrin, he told her to sit up on the table with foot rests in the middle of the room. She made her way over and sat down. He instructed her to place her feet in the stirrups. At first she tried, but the woman that was there before her must have been an amazon because they were way too far out. After some adjustment, she put her feet where they were supposed to go. She also realized that that day she had put on mismatching socks, so she was a bit embarrassed about that.
Dr. M asked her to slide to the end of the table and she felt her legs spreading wider and wider apart. This also caused her vulva to naturally spread open as well, and she was taken aback by the feeling of cold air hitting the areas that usually never see the light of day. She felt him take the edge of the smock and fold it back further up her legs until she was fully exposed. She heard the click of a light as he shined a light on her pelvic region, further embarrassing her.
While they made a bit more small talk, she heard Dr. M roll his stool over to a little table and snap on a pair of gloves. He said “Okay, now I am just going to take a quick look on the outside.” She jumped a little when his hands touched the inside of her thighs and made their way down to the area of interest. She felt him work his fingers around her vulva, spreading her further apart and pinching her labia to check for any masses. Thankfully it was over pretty quickly, but that didn’t make it feel any less embarrassing.
He then stood up, and told her that he just needed to do an internal exam now, and that he was going to be putting his fingers inside of her. She acknowledged, and he slowly slid one finger inside of her, and then another one. One thing she told me she distinctly remembered were how long his fingers were. He felt around inside of her, then asked her if she felt any kind of pain or discomfort, obviously besides this old man she had just met exploring her vagina with his fingers. He felt around her abdomen in the same way he had before, and then asked her to squeeze his fingers. She did and I guess she squeezed pretty tight because he remarked “Wow are you an athlete?” which she thought was a very weird thing for him to ask at that moment in particular. After that he slid his fingers out and rolled back to his desk to write some stuff down.
He then told her that the next part of the exam was the part where he had to scrape her insides, which was the part she was dreading. She saw him take out a metal device she had never seen before which she now knows is a speculum. He didn’t really warm it up or put lube on it, and told her “this is going to be the hardest part” which she 100% believed. She knew he was a doctor and had been doing this for a very long time, but the way he slid it in was with such clinical precision, but at the same time kind of with a lack of regard for how she was feeling. She obviously showed signs it wasn’t comfortable so he said “I know I know it hurts” and she thought “Sure you do because you totally have a vagina.” He then tells her to look up at the picture on the ceiling and count the yellow tulips.
She saw out of the corner of her eye him roll over and grab a scraper, but she didn’t look too hard at it because she was like “I can’t believe this is going to go inside of me.” She then feels a sharp pain as he starts collecting samples. She squirmed around and he told her to count the red tulips now. She knew for a fact it was better for him to get more, and was grateful that she had something to keep her mind preoccupied.
After collecting a sample, he rolled to the desk and said “oh maybe I need to get more.” My wife was obviously not happy to hear this, and he grabbed the scraper and started to collect more. She wanted to kick this dude in the face by this point. But she did as she was told and stayed put on the chair, her toes were curling and she tried very hard to stay still while it was happening.
Finally, to her relief, he was done collecting samples. She said the second hardest part was him taking it out, because it was like sharp metal scraping against her insides and she didn’t like that for obvious reasons. He took off his gloves and put them in the trash, and she was just finally relieved that the examination was over… or so she thought.
After sealing up the samples he collected, he rolled back over to her and told her “Now I just need to make sure everything in your anus is fine and then you’ll be good to go.” It was my wifes first time for a rectal exam, but she knew it was just a thing adults had to do to take care of themselves. She thought to herself “Well he’s already here, he’s looking at my pussy and my butt and that’s how it’s gonna be.”
So he puts on another pair of gloves, and this time he puts lube on them and tries to warm his finger up so I guess it is more comfortable. He didn’t really massage her asshole or anything, he just sticks his finger in. My wife distinctly remembers that moment, because it is the first time she has ever had anything in her butt. He slides his long finger all the way to the base and she remembers thinking “please please just let this be over”. As he felt around inside she was counting the flowers again and it felt like he was there for forever.
He then asked her to squeeze again and she did and he finally gave a nod and said “Okay you’re good to go” and with that he slid his finger out. She sat up and remembers how crazy how normal everything was after that. He rolled back and said that he would let her know the results and she would have to come back to get the actual birth control but that was it.
She let the nurse know where she left the cup of her pee and was told to get dressed and they left the room. Luckily for her the future exams tended to not be as thorough as the first time and her doctor retired after a few more visits so at that point onwards she only had female doctors.
