Patient's question:
I am a female freshman student and I don't have a boyfriend. Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable downstairs, but I'm too afraid to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination. Could you please tell me what I should do? How should I face my first gynecological examination? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
This is very simple, don't be afraid. I've been to the hospital for check-ups several times, and I'm still a virgin at 26. Just go to the adolescent department in the gynecology clinic and check. If you haven't had sexual activity, tell the doctor during the examination that you haven't. Stay calm—there's really nothing to be afraid of. Many girls get gynecological issues, and I went to the hospital for the first time with my sister and didn't feel embarrassed at all. I hope you can take this step bravely. Good luck!
