Feelings and Emotions before a Gyno/Physical exam

I was just wondering how everyone feels before they have their gyno/ physical exam . I have my weekly sounds treatment tomorrow and although it is the exact same appointment , that goes the exact same way every week I still get such mixed feelings and emotions. I'm still wide awake now thinking about it , but can't say what exactly is keeping me awake. Tomorrow morning I will get up and do my usual routine but i won't be able to eat anything until after my appointment . I go from nervous, to excited , to apprehensive and then dread it too.I'm the same before a gynae exam too. How does everyone else feel and what do you do to help relax etc ?

My wife goes through the same feelings, after it's all over though it's just the excitement!

I really am excited and look forward to my exam. It is the build up of anticipation and the prepping. What to wear to exam, the thought of being on display and the good oucome that is anticipated after the exam is finished and my doctor relates her findings to me.

I feel kind of similar, except very nervous during the exam. I feel like my heart is beating super fast at some points to where it's very noticeable to the doctor. I try to breath in and out of my nose, and focus on that to calm my nerves a little

Oh for sure there is anxiety and anticipation of an upcoming exam, which for me begins when I get the reminder call usually two weeks in advance and then make sure that it's in my calendar. As I near the exam date, I begin to think about what is likely to occur, and what I will choose to wear. The night before, I honestly don't sleep all that well and don't want to eat in the morning. I have no issue going to the bathroom right away in the morning and feel the anxiety increase. The ride over is one of mixed feelings and I try to distract myself by listening to music. It does seem silly to feel like this after all this time but it is pretty engrained. After the exam, it's one of huge relief and wondering why I was so tense...then I think back over having to be nude and probed!

The days before my scheduled exam are often filled with anticipation and thinking about what likely awaits me. It's less intense than having an unscheduled exam whereby I am unsure of what to expect or how far I will have to undress. Usually the sick visit means retaining undies but I have had to remove my panties on one occassion. Either way, there is a lot of anxiety and tension while I sit in the waiting room and see the others come and go carelully focusing on their faces while trying not to appear too obvious. Nothing breaks my spell like having the nurse appear at the door to the waiting room with my chart and calling out my name. It's then that I smile, put down the unread magazine, grab my belongings and walk toward her.

I felt like I was going to be violated. I felt violated afterwards. But also very horny. It's so weird... I've had a gyno exam only once. I was 17 and wanted bc pills. I was afraid I wouldn't get a new prescription if I refused the exam. That's why I felt forced.

I love feeling subtly violated during an examination, especially during the speculum and digital portions of an examination. Being so open and exposed is humiliating and such a turn-on.

In a real life exam I am usually nervous. In a play exam I am always excited.

I would imagine that most women have some slight bit of nerves and trepidation before a gyne visit. Either from the worry about something being found to be a problem... or from just the thought of the exam itself. Seems quite natural.

Things can, of course, go much further than that with a somewhat shy woman, seeing a male doctor or an overweight woman being concerned about nudity or many many other fears and concerns. And then there is the nervousness about perhaps being a bit aroused... and worrying that the doctor will be able to tell.

So many possibilities.. and with that goes so many feelings and emotions.

Just my 2¢

Doc Rob

When my wife was younger she would put extra makeup on and wear a sexy dress. She would naturally bathe and be clean before the exam. I don't think she ever douched at any time except perhaps after childbirth. She also tried to have a BM before the exam but I don't know if she took an enema before or just tried to expel the bolus. When she got older she insisted on a female MD and just bathed/showered and went to the appointment, never with me who was always excluded.

@curiouspatient i saw your post but havent posted enough in the discussions to send pm's or message you first but we might be a good match. Please reach out if you happen to see this xx

Always with my lady for these appointments, I know it calms her nerves and mine... Right there by her side through the whole thing holding her hand like I should be.....

I plan something really fun to do after after the appointment so I have something to focus on. One year it was a road trip and another, it was on the way to the airport. It also minimized the time I had to take off work.

However, my usual anxiety thoughts were "did I shave enough?", "wow! Doc delivered a lot of babies", "this is so awkward", stuff like that.

I used to feel very anxious and jittery before exams— I had a specific gynecologist that I saw while I was in college and I always felt like he was looking at me like he was hungry. I like being looked at, so I didn’t mind, but it felt like I needed to impress him. So I always shaved my legs and pussy carefully the morning of, and wore matching underwear just in case he looked at the chair where my clothes were piled up. When he examined me, I felt like I was on a stage. I wanted to be the best looking one he’d seen all day.

It wasn’t until I graduated and started going to a different hospital that I got a female doctor. Before the appointment, I did my usual routine of shaving and selecting the right underwear, but I didn’t know how to feel about a woman examining me. Is there more pressure? Is she going to compare mine to others the way I felt like my male gyno would?

When she entered the room, she immediately started making small talk. This continued during my breast exam, making me feel more at ease than I had ever been during an appointment like this. It didn’t hurt that she was attractive and unassuming. When it came time to put my feet in the stirrups and have her lift up my gown, I was almost excited to have someone I found attractive looking at me at such an angle. I wanted her to be impressed like I’d wanted the male doctor to be before, but it felt like her confirmation would be sexual for me.

She continued small talk, but I saw a visible reaction on her face when she saw me fully exposed. It was contained, but I couldn’t miss the brief second of admiration.

I used to dread the speculum and the swab, but she made me feel so comfortable that I didn’t mind it at all. I actually wouldn’t have minded if she’d been there longer.

After that experience, I specifically request female doctors. Never the same one because I realized how much I love the thrill of having someone new

I always get so anxious I normally don’t go! I have successfully gone twice in my life (I’m 33). Both times it wasn’t as bad as the anxiety makes it to be. Now that I am at a point where I can join the discussion I hope the play helps with the real lol

I've only been nervous before my exam when I was having my first 2-3, and before my gyn surgery when I was 19 - it was my first time being examined by a male doctor. Nowdays, I make sure I'm clean and my clothes are clean, but I'm not really anxious or anything. I see it as just another appointment to take care of my health.

I get anxious and worried and then it turns out to be nothing. it's still freaks me out every time now and then a couple hours later I'm horny as hell.

My gf gets anxious and nervous leading up to an exam. She finds them really embarrassing. I find her exams very erotic, so I am excited for it and can't stop thinking about it at least a week before.

I am always super nervous but in a positive way and excited and curious also

Usually I just wonder what level of intimacy I may get. Usually nothing much.

I would prefer more intimate since then I know I'm not the only one getting that treatment..

Used to be nervous with an edge of excitement. It was barely comfortable in my 20's. I'm older so I guess I'm a little used to it and things slide in easier. I'm still a virgin so there isn't much action. Now I'm not nervous anymore and I'm low key excited and wish I could have more exams. I also wish they would have padded knee crutches I would be strapped into. But its just the foot holders.

For the most part, I wouldn't call it nervous, exactly. It's more like anxious anticipation. The anxious part comes from the fact that I'm there for a real examination, with potential real consequences, depending on the findings. The anticipation stems from my medical fetish.

I would also say that the emotions vary, based on the reason for the appointment. If it's for a problem visit, of course there's nervousness. If I'm there for a routine exam, there's much less nervousness and much more anticipation.

It also depends on if it's a new provider that I haven't seen before. There's much more anxiety/nervousness with a new doc, because a routine hasn't been established yet and I don't know what's going to happen from the moment I'm called back to the exam room.

Not as anxious and aroused as I was when I was a teen. But the feelings & memories are always there. The look and smell and temperature of an exam room… OMG 😳

A girl came to my office for a medical examination for school. I immediately ordered him to strip down to his panties. The girl was 18 years old. She became hysterical because she didn't want to undress.

A girl/she. His or her panties? Let's not get genders mixed up.

Normal gyno exams, I’m pretty nonchalant about to be honest.

Had an appointment with a new doctor today to discuss menstrual cycle issues I’ve been dealing with since February and I was a worked up mess. Horribly anxious. Nervous about being taken seriously given a poor experience I had with a male OBGYN last week. Ended up with a surprise endometrial biopsy today so left feeling quite exhausted emotionally. 😢

For me I'm pretty nervous going into an exam. It even begins the day before just knowing what's coming and just builds until I'm there for it. I'm nervous from just knowing how I'll have to be and what will be done and also from the "what ifs". My bf is the opposite - he gets around from my exams starting several days out. He loves seeing me there, being examined, all of it being done, so it's arousal for him.

Girl. Wtf is up with the surprise endometrial exam? I left feeling like I’d been through some harrowing upset. The absolute worst.

When I’m president or am somehow crowned Queen of America, I will ban any procedure that leaves a woman feeling like that. I swear. If people can find a way to do every other thing in the world, someone needs to figure out a painless way to numb the cervix.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I hope all turned out well. 💜

@EnchantedAmethyst

Everything ended up alright on the biopsy thankfully! 💜

But…just…man. I wasn’t expecting it to happen right then and there. She was an AMAZING nurse practitioner but I cannot understand why women aren’t offered *some* kind of anesthetic for this procedure. I was going in expecting blood work at worst, and then she decided we had time to get a biopsy done. I’m beyond happy she ordered it, because I finally felt like I was being taken seriously - but I was totally unprepared for it mentally.

The cramping sensation is the absolute worst feeling. I almost threw up when I stood up off the table when it was done. I have a very high pain tolerance especially when it comes to medical procedures - but I had to say no when she asked if she could take a second sample. 🥺

My husband was with me and also cannot believe women are expected to literally have a little piece of an organ cut out with no anesthetic, preparation, or pain medication at all.
