You mean Gynecologist / Gyne
If you are still virgin, you need to worry - you are not used to being touched etc... and you will also be shy
But if you have had intercourse already, then you will be shy for sometime, then u will get used to it... after all it is a part of your body, like your hand and legs.
If you have had a baby or have been pregnant before... i am sure u are not bothered
They dont even care about you... All they care is that it is a"body part" and they have to examine it... like your eyes / legs / nails
You have to behave casually, thats all...

i'm not gonna lie, i was pretty scared the first time i went [which was like 2 months ago]
well, what theyre gonna do depends on why youre going there in the 1st place. if its just like a check up, or for irregular menstrual cycles or something like that [which is why i went] they'll just ask you some questions [like, are you sexually active, when did you 1st get your period, etc]
also, they'll have you lie down on a table-like thing with foot holders to put your feet in. and you'll have to take your pants and underwear off which is kinda weird lol. but theyll give you a paper gown or something to cover yourself with.
also, they might give you a quick breast check thing to feel for lumps and that kinda stuff.
then, depending on your size, the gyno will either use his/her fingers just swipe the inside of your vagina or they'll use a little tool thing that allows them to open you up and look at your cervix to feel for irregularities and such.
and be warned: IT TICKLES.
seriously, you'll want to clamp your legs shut really bad, but you have to overcome it.
overall, it's a weird experience but ya gotta do what ya gotta do- and it probably wont be as bad as you think.

No. They ask you a bunch of questions about family history and stuff like that. They will warm up the instruments and ask you to lay back. The doctor will insert a finger or two and press down on your tummy simultaneously. He/She will then take the 'separator' and insert that and widen your cervix to take a sample to test for cervical cancer. It only takes about 2-3 minutes. It does not feel good, but you will have a clean bill of health until next year.

Its nerve racking the first time, definately, but remember this is their job and they're just trying to help you. They put the "duck bill" up you and I won't lie, it is uncomfortable but its not in there long. Ok, now I don't know if this is normal, but my very first exam the doc stuck her fingy up my rear and didn't tell me she was gonna do it, yeah, not fun but never had that done since.

It's not scary. It's like going to the dentist. You really don't like it all that much, but it's important to go, so you do it once a year.

Not scary but the gyne will check on your lower private part inside and if it's a male gyne...you'll feel like a bit shy. But it's harmless. Just relax and you'll be ok.

No, its not scary. A little nerve wracking...but not scary.
They mainly ask of your health issues and if you have had any problems and of course if there is a certain reason that you are there...you should definitley go though, and get tested if you are sexually active. No harm in making sure you and your partner stay clean.
Anyway, they just ask questions, talk with you about birth control, etc...and when it comes to the physical aspect they use their tools and check you inside (which doesnt hurt at all) and press on your abs to make sure they dont feel anything cancerous.
Its cake. Good luck.

It is scary at first, and no one like to go, but for your healths sake you need to. They examine your breasts for lumps, and they do an internal of your vagina, examining your cervix. You may also have a pap smear. It isn't the worst thing in the world, but I wouldn't label it scary really! Good luck.

It's scary at first. But after a few times it's fine. I wouldn't want to go every week, but once a year isn't bad. Typically you get a breast examine and a quick vag examine, mine typically is done under 5 minutes.

It really isn't scary. Honestly, I just find it a bit awkward. Just remember, these doctors have seen it all! Don't be ashamed to ask questions about anything. It doesn't hurt either. The exam itself is a little uncomfortable but it should never be painful. Also, the doctors and nurses are pretty nice about explaining everything that's going on.

It was scary for me my first time. My mom had me just go in and talk with a few doctors so I could chose one I felt most comfortable with.
I found a doctor that was so fun to chat with, my exam wasn't a bother at all!
What kind of care you need depends on your age and condition. You can discuss these things in your interview.
Its easier to have someone go with you who can hold your hand in the waiting room.
While your at it get information about immunization for the Human Papilova Virus (HPV). It is supposed to prevent cervical cancer but you must be immunized before becoming sexually active.
You may also have your friend stay in with you during an examination if you think it will help you, but be sure it is someone who is comfortable with examinations themselves. People who are uncomfortable tend to make you feel worse and people who are so calloused that they say there's nothing to it don't really help either.
Annual exams take some getting used to. I think its easier to stay with one doctor you're comfortable with for a while, and become familiar with your rights as a patient to chose how you want to be cared for.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
P.S. I find that male doctors are ALOT more Gentle than female doctors.
If your are not yet sexually active and want to go on the pill you may be able to get the prescription and put the internal exam off for a year.
And the digital rectal examintation is only done during a womans first pregnancy, to check for polyps, and you would never have to have that done again (until your 35 years old and insist on having something done about your flaming hemorrhoids).
That "duck bill" is called a scapula, and you can ask to have it warmed up under running water first. A lot of doctors do that anyway.
And most doctors ARE concerned with you. You're not just a collection of parts. A good doctor will do everything to make you comfortable.

Yes, it is a bit scary. But once it is over it is a great relief. The MD basically examines you in your reproductive area, and takes a pap sample which is sent to the lab for testing. Really it is not that big of a deal, the thought of it is worse than it really is as it is over with pretty quickly. Physicians know their patients are uncomfortable and usually do a pretty good job respecting this. You may feel more comfortable with a female MD, it is aways your choice. I don't blame you for being scared but it is really important to get it done.

If you are nervous, go to a woman doctor. All the doctors, male or female should act very professionally. You should also request a nurse be present if not already there..most doctros have someone else there routinely. You wil lay on a bed with feet in stirrups and be covered with a drape. The doctor doesnt see your whole body, just works thru a little opening in the drape. It only takes a couple minutes and just feels kinda cold and a little pressure..no real pain.

Not any scarier than going to a dentist. If it's your first time you may feel embarrassed. Don't worry. Women need to visit gynos. Make your appointment!

to me it was, but it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be........ they take you back, take your blood pressure and your weight and ask a few questions about your sexual history. Then your taken to a room and told to undress and put on a paper vest and paper blanket for your bottom half. The dr. comes in, puts on gloves and massages your abdomen, then she puts a couple of fingers inside to feel around. Then she places a metal object inside to hold it open while she scrapes the cervix. Afterward she massages your boobs for lumps and that's it....... Not pleasant but it doesn't last very long.
