Many representatives of the fairer sex are quite wary of regular visits to a doctor specializing in the treatment of "female" diseases.
“I'm afraid to go to the gynecologist, ” the phrase is common. Many simply do not know how to cope with this fear.
But it should be remembered that the gynecologist is the same specialist as a surgeon or therapist.
If you can’t get rid of the thought: “I’m afraid to go to the gynecologist, ” then you should know that under no circumstances will the doctor divulge medical secrets. Moreover, he will show maximum delicacy and will not give an assessment of the "moral" component of your personal life. Remember that his main task is to find out what you are sick with, make the correct diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
If you first came to the doctor’s appointment and before that you constantly said: “I’m not only afraid to go to the gynecologist, but I’m embarrassed about this, ” then “stiffness” should be considered as a completely natural reaction. At the same time, remember that in this situation, the doctor is your only friend, so try to trust him in everything. In the future, after you are convinced of the absolute safety of conducting a medical examination, the process of visiting a gynecologist will become familiar to you, and you will no longer say: "I am embarrassed to go to the gynecologist."
You should not identify the gynecological chair with the place where the execution is performed on the woman. It is specially designed so that the examination is convenient and painless.
You can tell the registry: “I go to the gynecologist for the first time, ” and then you will be referred to an experienced doctor. And he will make every effort to ensure that the discomfort during the medical examination does not appear, and you do not have a fear of visiting a female doctor.
In this regard, it must be emphasized that the process of introducing cold objects, in particular gynecological mirrors, into the vagina can cause some pain in the area of the female genital organs. However, we should not forget that these medical instruments are thoroughly sterilized, and the doctor does not have the opportunity to heat them specifically for your arrival. The gynecologist is well aware that the patient’s health is above all. The above devices have no sharp corners and they will not leave absolutely any wounds inside the genitals.
If the thought: “I'm afraid to go to the gynecologist” does not leave you, because you doubt that the instruments will be sterilized properly, there is a way out of this situation. In the pharmacy you can always buy a disposable viewing kit, which together with the usual diaper will solve this problem.
The examination will be less painful if you follow all the doctor’s recommendations. You should understand one simple thing: the doctor does not need to spend more time on the examination than necessary, if there is no reason for this.
The more detailed you describe the symptoms of your disease, the faster, and most importantly more correctly, the gynecologist diagnoses it. Remember: you should not withhold your own intimate health problems from your doctor.
