 [ Symptoms ] advice for first gyno visit  i am 18 and going for my first gyno visit tomorrow as recommended by my endocrinologist any advice i am kind of nervous because i am getting a pelvic exam and pap test [ Disease ] do not be nervous please let the medical provider know that this is your initial pap and pelvic exam so that heshe can use a smaller vaginal speculum and take a bit more time in explaining each and every step of this important examination yes it can be a bit embarrassing at first but so are male genital and rectal exams to a seasoned medical provider this exam is really no different than looking at your mouth or ears but when it is your first exam it can create a bit of anxiety after it is all over you will see that it was not such a big deal good luck thank you for the advice the appointment went well
