Female Medical Exams???? Fears and questions.

Aunt Bea · #1 (**permalink**) 12-18-2007, 11:37 AM

SO I am kinda embarrased to ask this but.....how many of you get "female medical exams" on a regular basis.....yearly or what ever the normal is????? I have never had one, and I am getting to the age where one really should. I am concerned aobut cancer.

I know I should get one, but I am so darn paranoid of catching an STD from the doctors office if someone that had an STD was in the room before me. I have heard that it can happen and it scare the bejeezus out of me!!! THere are alot of scary diseases out there and if someone didnt clean stuff correctly in the doctors office you could catch a STD. at least thats what I think?

can any of you offer any advice on this issue??

You can get a home examination kit or you can have the doctor make a house call.

Either of those will help you eleviate your fears

Be sure to include a breast scan into you "female" exam. You can never be too cautious, especially if you are in your 30's!

Also, what I have found is to have a consultation with a doctor you feel comfortable with. Some like a very professional doctor, others like one that can be warmed up to a talk to on an almost personal level.

Good Luck!

I am afraid of any doctors. and I would never want one in my house. they could steal something.

I am not certain what exactly you girls are referring to but I can tell you I always felt like my OBGYN spent a little more time down there than he really needed to.

Aunt Bea · #12 (**permalink**) 12-18-2007, 11:48 PM

your not very nice. just because I live in a trailer and dont have expensive things doesnt make me a bad person.

godikS · #13 (**permalink**) 01-06-2008, 07:04 PM

I've been having a little problem (I hope it's little),concerning vaginal itching. I'm really embarrassed to talk about such things, but this place makes me feel comfortable if you know what I mean. I just need some advice as to what to do about it. It's sooooo embarrassing to be out in the supermarket or someplace else in public, and start itching like crazy!

What can I do about this? Things like that have never happened to me! Please help me!

You need to go find the fromuna cheese thread sister. LOL just kidding.

Vaginal itch can come from a number of places. I would find the source of the problem first. Go see your doctor or Lake Pirate is a good gyno- physician. She does a through inspection and leaves no stone unturned.

Aunt Bea · #15 (**permalink**) 01-07-2008, 01:42 PM

Who is Lakepirate?

I would never to go a pirate for anything. especially a female exam.

ricci · #16 (**permalink**) 01-07-2008, 02:09 PM

does the good doctor wear an eye patch? What is the significance of doctor lake's nickname? Maybe he runs up a jolly roger before every exam! hahaahhah oh boy!

Bad Kitty · #17 (**permalink**) 01-14-2008, 01:49 AM

I have never had a problem with my OB/GYN's. I get regular annual exams and will continue that practice.

The idea of getting an STD from an exam table or speculum is ludicrous. If the office you visit gives you the impression they don't thoroughly clean and sterilize equipment after each and every patient, you need to find another office.

Maybe I am just a spoiled brat from the Silicon Valley where cleanliness is the fulcrum on which most physicians exist.

Schedule an appointment and go!

MerdeCat · #18 (**permalink**) 01-15-2008, 01:31 AM

Aunt Bea,

You are too paranoid. And too focused on STDs. It really is unhealthy to worry about it so much.

Practice safe sex, don't share a needle, and you will be fine!

Not going to the doctor because you are afraid of catching an STD is mentally ill. I don't say it to be mean, but it's the truth.

PrincessOfFabulousity · #19 (**permalink**) 01-16-2008, 01:31 AM

Aunt Bea, you should be going to your gyno once a year. I'm only 20, and I've been going once a year since the age of 16. Gotta make sure everything checks out good down there!

Bad Kitty · #20 (**permalink**) 01-16-2008, 03:01 AM

Aunt Bea, listen to the Princess, she not only has INCREDIBLE taste, but it also appears she has INCREDIBLY GOOD SENSE!

Was that gator bag a gift? OMG, I just can't stop looking at it... :drool:

Aunt Bea · #27 (**permalink**) 01-17-2008, 09:00 PM

OH I am here! read my post about penis cancer. I was gone because my dad is gone to the hospital and I was there iwth him. I dont like being in hospitals, I am afraid of catching STD's there.

I dont mean to be that way, I just am. I had a lesbian friedn that had an STD, She died. its very scary. I once heard you can catch STD's from sitting on toilet seats too. so I wont pee in public places anymore. I pee at home, and then dont drink anything while out and about. If I gotta pee really bad, I just squat down outside behind a car in a parking lot or somthing like that. at least you dotn catch any diseases that day.

Bad Kitty · #28 (**permalink**) 01-18-2008, 01:01 AM

Aunt Bea, I don't know what set off your raging paranoia about STD's and who explained how they are transmitted, but you are in DESPERATE need of some education in the matter.

There is a reason they are called SEXUALLY transmitted diseases, they are TRANSMITTED SEXUALLY. Not by toilet seats and all these other crazy contrived reasons you are talking about. Take a class, it will help you understand it better.

anne022196 · #29 (**permalink**) 01-18-2008, 10:26 AM

you make my day complete aunt bea...cheers...

happy to hear that you did not catch STD in the hospital

...anyway, try to google it for you to know how STD's transmitted...

We're just glad you're back bea

Yea, but with all the strange kinds of sex in the world today, you never know if someone had sex on a door knob or somthing and then I touched it, and touch my private parts after going potty. Gosh I dont want to get a STD. How could I ever go to church after getting an STD!!! I would be so embarrased. God would know I had one!

bea, relax! someone could lose the brakes on their truck and drive right through your office wall today too, but it probably won't happen..

Doorknobs.................. THAT is vivid girl!

Aunt Bea · #33 (**permalink**) 01-18-2008, 01:34 PM

My brakes are fine on my El Camino Ricci, nothing to worry about there......unless a hitch hiker with an STD gets in it.

anne022196 · #34 (**permalink**) 01-18-2008, 01:51 PM

well, don't leave out open mouth kissing as a potential hazard... It's not a probable, but it's possible.

yup..one factor also is kissing...but that is 1 out of 10 i guess..
somebody help aunt bea...maybe she need to read an article regarding STDs

Aunt Bea · #37 (**permalink**) 01-18-2008, 06:50 PM

OH yea!!! I heard that too! taht you can get STD's from kissing! I dont kiss anymore because of that. I will let my mom kiss me on the cheek but thats it. She is most likely clean, but it still makes me uneasy when she kisses me. she did have a wildstreak back in the 60's so I dont think she as HIV or anything.

I bet those herpes commercials really freak you out. You know, the ones where one partner has herpes and the other doesn't and they talk about Valtrex.

I'd have to REALLY love someone to overlook herpes.

Aunt Bea · #39 (**permalink**) 01-21-2008, 06:51 PM

You got that right Merde!!!

My gosh! and I heard you can even catch Herpes if you use a condom!!! and thats enough to freak me out! Imagine if I caught herpes! I could never get a date again! EVER! nobody wants to date anyone with Herpes!!!

Aunt Bea please check out WebMD because they have all sorts of answers from A to Z.No you cannot catch any STD form stitting on a public toilet bowl.If i am mistaken,once the virus hits the air,it ends up dying.So don't worry.Besides now a days,they have those hygienic paper toilet seat covers ...so relax.
