When was your first Gynecology Exam?

I was 18 - severe abdo pain pretty obvious it was appendicitis but the stern doctor I had at the time insisted on a pelvic exam. She just tugged down my pants and inserted her fingers it was excruciating. I wouldn’t let her near me with the speculum. That came a few years later when I started having Pap smears. And then came the transvaginal ultrasound when I was 20 and having heavy periods and terrible cramps. The wand made my legs physically shake I dread ever having to have one ?

I was 11 years old. I had been having extreme cramping, so my dad took me to my pediatrician. I went into the examination room alone without my father, and the doctor started out giving just a regular exam--ears eyes throat heart etc. But when I told him of my symptoms, he asked me if I had begun menstruating. I had--I started having periods at age 10. He then explained he would need to perform a pap smear. I didn't know what that was of course, but he guided me through it.

He told me to undress, but did not give me a gown to wear. He stayed in the room as I took of my clothes--I felt so embarrassed! I got back up on the table, which was not equipped with stirrups. In fact, I think it was painted to look like a race car or a choo choo train (I forget!) Anyhow, I laid on my back and he started talking me through the exam, beginning with my breasts. I am not sure why he did that since my problem was really bad cramps. I have sexual fantasies about this breast exam because his touch on my nipples and breasts was very gentle, and he was speaking to me in low, reassuring tones the whole time, explaining what he was doing, telling me how good I was. He commented on my nipples "oh look at your puffy little rosebuds". It made me go red with embarrassment then, but now it gets me off.

I remember from the pelvic exam holding my knees to my chest and the doctor telling me to "part your legs and relax, that's it, good girl" (this still plays in my mind) He looked at my vaginal lips and folds, but didn't do much of a detailed manual external exam as I recall. He inserted a plastic pediatric speculum that he had showed me close up so I could understand what he was going to do. The insertion was slow, but as I recall, painful, and when it was opened it felt like a stretched fullness and exposure at the same time. He asked if I had been sexually active, which I had not and he told me my hymen was not intact but that was normal. I did not know what that meant, but of course now know my cherry had popped somehow by 11! He explained he would be swabbing my cervix and that I would feel a little pinch. I have to say, it was worse than a little pinch!

I don't remember much else from the exam, but having to sit next to my dad in the office after when he was explaining that I was probably having middle month pain which some women have during ovulation. I was mortified--I don't think my dad knew I was menstruating yet--the doctor was my pediatrician for god sakes! From that shameful experience comes my medfet tho I guess.

I was 23 and had just found a new doctor, since my old one had retired. I remember being super excited, but also super nervous. My blood pressure was high enough for the nurse to ask if I was feeling okay. They made me sit for a good 20 minutes before she came back to recheck it. I'm surprised it went down, because I am NOT one to wait patiently. My doctor and nurse came back in a few minutes later and asked me to slide down and put my feet in the stirrups. No ear, nose, and throat check. No auscultation. No palpation. Just straight to the pap smear. I remember feeling how weird then speculum felt and how I cramped up when she swabbed my cervix. Then it was done. I felt like I had been cheated in some way. I kept thinking, "Is that really it?" I switched doctors after that.

I was 19 and recently married. I was having pain during sex. I remember him penetrating me with two fingers and he was trying to simulate intercourse with his fingers by thrusting and moving them in and out; asking if I felt discomfort. It wasn’t stimulating at the time but I fantasize about that a lot! Getting pretty wet right now ?

I was 13/14... had to after my first time with whom I now realize to be the biggest douche on the planet...oh the joys

I was 21 for my first. It was required for me to start taking testosterone. My pap results came back unclear and it took three separate appointments before they finally got a good result.

I was 17 and very nervous

I was 16 because contraceptives

I was 15 i had hurt myself in high school sports and the emergency room Dr did it.

I am 20 and I had my first exam recently.

I was very scared for the exam, especially the pelvic exam. Though I knew what to expect by reading experiences of first time visits but still, reading on internet and going through the same yourself are two very different situations. The exam as a whole was not a very pleasant experience for me but the gyn mon took me to (mom was not in the exam room thankfully) was a very nice lady. She actually understood that it was my first time and hence was very politely telling me what she would do and kept asking if I was ok. Not that I didn't know what to expect, as I said, but her way of examining felt very assuring.

Mine was at 15 and was not expected! It wasn't a memory I have on my "Gee, this was fun" list. I was having horrible cramps and the doctor opted to do a pelvic. I was frozen when he explained what was about to happen, and I recall that everything seem to just move in slow motion, including me. I felt like I was on something, just doing what I had to but at the same time, trying to resist. It's hard to explain both the physical and mental sensations as well as the mixed emotions of it. Trying to be the typical 15 year old and throw on some maturity and being scared to heck at the same time.

I guess I was about 15 or 16. I remember back before it happened, that I was sexually aroused at the thought. So funny, even then was I into this scene. I just didn't know it.

@Kingqueer That’s interesting. I’d thought I might have to have an exam before starting testosterone but all I got was weight, height, blood pressure and blood tests.

I’m 31 and have never really had a full hump exam, but I have had some smear tests. My first was when I was around 20. Was nervous beforehand but it didn’t really hurt.

I’m a trans guy who’s been on testosterone for three years and have found that makes it much more painful. I haven’t used my vagina for sex in years, and the hormones make it drier and the walls thinner, so it’s quite tight and not a great experience.

It’s always just the smear and out again. I’ve never had to see the doctor for anything wrong there but have been given a quick visual exam as part of a sexual health test.

@StripandSteth I knew that I would be required to have a pap, as I went to the same clinic as some friends who filled me in on the process.

18, I was dating a man 10 years older and decided that I'd have sex with him.

I went to the local family planning clinic not knowing how this all worked. They asked if I minded that there was a man on duty that day. I said no. They asked if I'd ever had a pelvic exam. I said no. The the medical assistant put me in a little room and showed me a video of a pelvic exam. I got all wet watching the actress, who was about my age, get undressed and lay back. It looked so cool and vulnerable. She was smiling like nothing weird was happening as the actor who played the doctor put her legs in the stirrups, spread her open and started messing around with her pussy. My clit was throbbing by the time the speculum went into her vagina.

The medical assistant came and retrieved me, asked if I had any questions. I said no. I got undressed and sat on the table. The doctor was pretty young, but I was 18 so he looked old to me. He had me lie down, and he took the gown off my shoulder to look at and feel my breasts. The medical assistant was in the room, so she was looking at my breasts while he felt them. I was dying of embarrassment, but I loved feeling exposed and having this man feel my breasts and squeeze my nipples. I loved that he was totally not coy at all about what he was doing--he was feeling my tits. I didn't know about laws, so figured the medical assistant just liked looking at tits. At the time, I thought it was just for his enjoyment, or to embarrass me since what 18 year old gets breast cancer?

Then they had me lie down, put my legs in the stirrups and threw back the gown so that my pelvis and legs were exposed. I remember my clit tingling as he spread my lips. He was telling me what he was doing, but I was just so turned on and embarrassed, I didn't remember anything he said or how I replied. I remembered the girl on the table in the film. The doctor smoothed my pubic hair back and felt around. He brushed my clit a couple of times while he was feeling my pussy, and then he put the speculum in. I remember arching up off the table when he did that because it felt so weird. He stuck something up my pussy while saying "you're doing great.". The medical assistant looked at my pussy the whole time. The doctor slid the speculum out and shoved his fingers inside of me. I remember that I cried out and said 'no!' because it felt so violating. He said "Almost done". His palm was right on my clit and I could feel it pulsating even though it sort of hurt and I felt humiliated and raped while he finger fucked me and pushed on my the pubic hair on my mons. He slid his fingers out of me and I sort of squeaked because I had gone from feeling like it was some kind of naughty play to feeling raped and ashamed. I couldn't look the doctor in the eye, and I felt sort of betrayed by the medical assistant.

They gave me the pill. By that time, I felt trashy, like I let this guy and his medical assistant fuck me to get the pill from them. It wasn't fun like it looked in the film. It was really embarrassing and violating. I broke up with the man because I thought he was going to do the same thing to me, and even though it made me wet, it wasn't fun.

Welcome to Zity, Zelda. What a 1st post !

My first experience was when I was 14. I was having painful periods. My pediatrician suggested to my mom that she should take me to the gynecologist. On the way to the gyno my mom kind of told me what to expect, but nothing she told me prepared me for what happened. The gynecologist, a woman, explained what was going to happen, but I was still surprised when the doctor directed my legs were in the stirrups and told me to scoot down to the end of the table. I can still feel the heat from the lamp on my vulva. I couldn’t believe this was happening, and how exposed I felt. I remember her putting a lubricated finger inside my vagina, I guess to determine the size of speculum to use. Then she showed me the speculum. At the time it seemed so large, but I now know it was a very small one. She said it would feel something like a large tampon, which it did until she opened it. It really hurt, but I also liked the pressure and feeling stretched open. After the speculum, the doctor did the bimanual exam. I’m pretty sure she only used one finger in my vagina and it felt kind of nice until she started pressing on my belly. She then said that she thought I had a retroverted uterus, and would need to do a rectal exam. I was mortified. She again put a finger in my vagina and another in my butt. I didn’t like that at all. It really hurt. Afterwards she asked if I was doing monthly breast exams, which I really didn’t know was something you did. She did the breast exam, and then spent a lot of time showing me how to do on my own, by guiding my hands on my breasts. This was the first and only time I’ve had a breast exam before the pelvic exam. I ended up getting a prescription for the pill to help with period pain. I remember mom saying just because I was on the pill it didn’t mean I could have sex. That was the first time I went to the gynecologist and have pretty much been going on a regular basis ever since.

Had my first at age 17, as I got into an steady sexlife.I did not want to just use condoms as I did before I got my first exam and then the pill

Besides being young for external exam at around 4 I think. I only had one at 19 years before joining the military, and that was also external exam as well. I was 20 when I had my first internal vaginal exam.

I just had my first one the other day right after I turned 21. Was nervous for it but ended up being pretty exciting in the end.

My first visit at the gynecologist was at the age of 16. I think it was normal at that time since all my friends also had their first visit at that age.

I was 14 because of some menstrual issues and I was petrified! Now, I use this as a bonding experience in my fantasies and role plays!

I was 17, pregnant

I was 19, and wanted birth control pills. I went with a friend, I remember the doctor as being very nice.

I was 20. Had gone to my PCP for a physical and she told me I needed one. I asked to come back or go to an OB/GYN who does them more regularly and she told me no.

It was the worse experience ever. She would not use a smaller speculum, it was so painful and I actually cried. Needless to say it was a few years before I had one again because I was so afraid. And I never went back to her. Now, in my 30s, they are still fairly uncomfortable but my doctor is amazing and takes her time and uses a smaller speculum to make it more comfortable.

Thanks a lot to all ladies for their stories. I would like to be your doctor of course 😃 It will stay a dream lol. Have a very nice day princesses. And keep going on

I was 15. Like the original poster said, it was an experience. Lol. I did not love mine, as much as they did, though. Lol.

Is there a "typical" age at which a young girl has her first gyn exam, assuming she has no issues or problems with her menstrual cycle? Does that typical age vary be country? I have heard that in the past it often was as part of a pre-marital exam but I don't believe those really exist any more... or do they?

In Spain there is a small ethnic group called "gitanos" (Google says gypsies but not really sure about that), which females until their wedding night they have to stay virgins. To check that the wedding day, usually the old female from their family inserts her hand ,covered with a cloth , in her vagina and If she bleeds it means it's virgin (all of that with all the females around her and she lying on a table). It's not a gynecology visit but I think is way worst.

And just in case, someone ask, no that's not common, it's a small minority

That's one more disgusting way cults and religions demean women.
