@Beim_Arzt_2001 Could you take us through the embarrassment, of what you had to do / was done to you, and how you felt (besides embarrassed)

Thank you JT Mac for the follow up question ?

I asked my wife.....she said:

1) The first two or three, not properly "the first"....

2) The first and every ones with a woman doc.

So she finds it more embarrassing with a female doctor?

My first one as an adult! My very, very first one was at 9, but then my first "proper" one was when I was 17 and preparing to go to university. It was a male doctor, he used tools that were way too big for me and HURT, and not to mention were extremely cold. He even told me something along the lines of "Come on, I know it's not THAT bad" when I started crying. How the fuck would YOU know???

he used tools that were way too big for me

I would think one of the most important things a doctor should be able to do is to determine the proper size speculum to use... so as to cause the woman as little discomfort as possible.

N.

Yes. She hate to be examined by a female gynecologist !!

It is less more than a matter of embarrassment, it is (she said) that the female gynecologists are more indelicate in the way of carrying out the visit, which is usually much more ucomfortable than a male gynecologist ...

he used tools that were way too big for me and HURT

My wife had the same thing happen while in England. But the first two times with an old doctor were fine.

Definitely my first.

I was 19 and a virgin, my mom came in the room with me, the doctor insisted I hold a hand mirror and watch. She gave me a grand tour of my lady bits with such comments as "partially intact hyman" and "healthy pink cervix" then a rectovaginal i was not expecting or even ever knew happened.

About 3+ years back, at age of 23 when I visited the new gynec first time, I farted when in stirrups when she did bimanual. The nurse laughed. The doctor silenced her and gave me a reassuring "it's ok don't worry" look. But I was so embarrassed. I wanted to dissolve in thin air. When I went to the doctor next time, there was a new nurse. I am sure doctor remembered that incident, but didn't say anything.

Definitely my first exam!

I was 15 and not sexually active. My mom made the appointment for me without my knowledge and informed me of the appointment about a week or so before. She took me, but thankfully stayed in the waiting room. The exam was with her male gynecologist and he did a complete gynecological examination.

Same here. The first exam is almost always weird and somewhat embarrassing, since everything is new an unfamiliar (you can talk to as many people as you want about their experience or try to read up on what exactly is happening during the exam, but the real thing is something different entirely). I'm not saying there aren't any exams which are way more embarrassing or even unpleasant than the first one, but if you are not sexually active and in addition kinda shy and then you have to talk about your period, problems with your period, contraception and then to top it all off, you have to undress for the exam, showing your “private bits“ to a complete stranger (okay he or she is a doctor, but still …) that puts the first exam pretty high on that list in my book.

But to be honest, in the end it wasn't as bad as I had imagined it the days before the exam, and it was good to know that I wasn't alone with my problems.

Yes, @AnnaLena you make some really good points and I completely agree. They are so similar to my thoughts and feelings too.

That first gyn exam is completely new and unfamiliar, so weird and really awkward, and the embarrassment more than anything I had felt previously.

Exactly, no matter who you talk to and all the advice they have to share, plus what you read up on prior to going, nothing really prepares you for the reality of it, how it is going to be and feel exactly, and how it all makes you feel undergoing the examination.

Yes not being sexually active at your first exam makes it that much more awkward, both from the physical sensation side as well as the emotional side. The physical feeling of the penetration of an instrument and fingers is foreign. And also emotionally, having to talk about all these female things like periods, discharge, contraception and if sexually active, all things that are not everyday occurrence and you aren't used to. It can be rather personal and I know I was blushing while being asked and answering all the detailed questions.

And yes while he or she is a doctor, there is still the fact that they are "a stranger" whom you literally met for the first time just minutes before when they walked into the exam room and introduced himself / herself. And now here you are, discussing such personal matters and then having your most private anatomy be intimately and thoroughly examined.

Yep, that first exam was embarrassing for sure. But I also agree that in the end, it wasn't as horrible as I had imagined it to be and worried about. Although I still hated it at first, I was also glad to get help with my issues.

I would agree that a young girl's first exam tends to be the most embarrassing for all the reasons mentioned. That said, on a subsequent occasion I was examined in front of a medical student who can only have been two or three years older than me and that was bloody embarrassing as well.

The first examination or the first time we do something is usually the most difficult. I remember except the first time, when my mom brought me. One of the next examination was when I deflowered in one of the many games my virginity. Then I was afraid that the doctor would tell my mother. I was terribly terrified that day.

Hi Chrissy, Can you please tell us about your experience being examined in front of the male student? How was he introduced? Did you have the chance to decline? How was he positioned during the exam?

For me it was my first exam when I was 14. I remember taking my pants and panties off in the little changing room and thinking “this is really happening. In just a couple of minutes, the doctor is going to see my most private area”. It took a lot of courage to go out and sit down on the exam chair.

@chrissiewilliams23 please, give me more details the occasion you were examined in front of a medical student. So exciting!!!

I would say the first one for me was the most embarrassing because it was all new and have someone looking down there was embarrassing.

I thiink we all agree defiantly the first one

Have you ever done enemas then hours later had your bowls go GRRRAUNNNGA,GROUF and spit out a big splatter of unstoppable lightning-fast dirty brown jelly? I have more than once. One of those times was during an exam. That was rather embarrassing. I did have the decency to yell "chocolate"! when the poop role started. "That is a Smothers Brothers reference. Those two make me laugh ".

She did not get it either and had a bit of a brown nose incident. She was professional about it. I was wiped like a baby then put off the table and placed naked in a corner to watch her silently clean my poop. After wiping the table down She changed her coat and cleared her glasses of speckles. Her Nurse Receptionist came in to take care of the floor with a wind tunnel loud electric mop. After that, we continued the exam. I was embarrassed. Believe me, I did a walk of shame out of the exam room, and through the waiting room. It felt like all eyes were on me. I am sure I have a dirty name she uses out of earshot for me now. I am greeted with knowing smiles and stifled giggles at reception.

Everyone finds the first one embarrassing. But I think my actual most embarrassing one was when I had to mark that I had more than one partner.

I’m sitting there basically naked and this woman and her nurse are asking “I see you’ve been sexually active with more than one partner. And are you using protection?”

“Yes”

“Do you think we need to do an STD screen? It’s ok. I’m your doctor. You are ok to talk openly with me”

“Mumble”

“Let’s do one just to be safe”

I wanted to crawl in a hole and die. I’m sure they weren’t judging me. But I felt judged. And I felt icky.

Amanda, why did you have to mark it?

It would have to be when I passed out at work (I was a medical admin at a small hospital ER) and it turned out I had PID from Chlamydia given to me by my (now) ex-husband. Not only did I have to deal with a pelvic, but a pelvic administered by a doctor I worked with and knew socially, and a finding of an STD that was given to me by my husband (my only sexual partner) and I was in a state of disbelief that he was cheating on me. Ah good times, good times 🤣

The most embarrassing moment was last year, ugh. It was with a female doctor; I had just received my EKG test from the nurse, and it was cold, laying there topless. I was already on edge because they wouldn't let Anthony back there.

The nurse drapes me, then the doctor comes in and next thing you know, I'm in the stirrups. Being on edge and cold, my knees, even in the stirrups, came together. Like, it was a natural reflex to want to close my legs before this doctor 🤦‍♀️ She kept telling me to relax and everything was fine but that seemed to make it worse. Anyways, she couldn't get the speculum in, and to make matters worse, she laughed about it and, again, kept telling me to relax which I couldn't.

I've never clamped up like that before! I was so embarrassed and it ended in tears just to further add to my shame. They caved in and let me have my Anthony by my side, and just like that, I was able open up for her. Ugh, she is no longer my lady doctor! Outside of that experience, the office was just horrible and the office manager is greedy so now I'm in limbo, searching for a new lady doctor 🙄🤦‍♀️

Have to say it was when I got my IUD, doctor recommended it during my period so I got it on day two and like ugh there was a blood spot on the exam table paper which to me was Uber embarrassing but the doctor was totally professional. on the plus side I did not really feel any pain from the IUD insert between period cramps and constipation of the first couple days

It's always embarrassing having someone look down your knickers while they're fully clothed. My most embarrassing moment though was the skin exam offered free at my workplace rather than the gyro.

I'm a lesbian and never had a man see my vulva up close (just my slit at distance on a nude beach) and certainly never touch there.

It just never occurred to me that the doctor would be male so I got looked at and touched by a man for the only time.

I had bare breasts and my knickers round my ankles while he crouched in front of me and opened my slit! I felt the folds, as he called them, got folded right back and the middle pink bit pushed side to side.

Mine was a few years ago when the strings of my IUD were nowhere to be found. The first doctor was a resident and she did the most in depth external exam I had ever had. She spread my labia majors wide open with both of her hands. I have prominent labia minora towards the top of my vulva and a prominent clitoral hood so I assume she wanted to get a good look at all of that. Upon opening the speculum they realized that my strings were missing and the actual doctor proceeded to use a small hook to try and find it for about 5 minutes, which was not a comfortable experience at all. This was the most exposed I had felt in my life.
