Talking with my wife about gynecological exam (REAL ones) she told me that it is a hard thing for a woman to do.
She thinks gyn exam is invasive and very, very uncomfortable. But first of all, embarrassing and shameful.
She told me everytime she has to go to the gyno it is a drama to be totally naked, exposed in that position, and fingered outside and inside in her deep intimacy.
Time after time it goes better, she is an adult woman in her 40s, but it is still a hard thing to do.
OK, POINT BY POINT:
hard thing for a woman to do -- not at all IT'S A DOCTOR
invasive -- yes, they stick their finger and a speculum into you, but you do the same thing with your finger, tampons, a penis and possibly toys
Uncomfortable -- maybe, it is a medical exam and some parts might be uncomfortable
embarrassing, shameful -- depends on your upbringing. Remember they are doctors doing their job and the reason you went to see them is to do an examination.
drama -- that's DEFINITELY in the mind of the patient -- RELAX
naked and exposed -- yes, thats how an examination is done. You have to be naked to examine the reproductive organs.

I have no problem at all getting a real exam by a doctor or other health professional.
