What happens at the first gynecological examination?
I have my first gynecologist appointment next week, and I'm not quite sure what to expect. I won't be going to the "chair" at the first appointment because I don't want to yet, but I will at the second appointment.
And I have absolutely no idea what a gynecological examination looks like, and I'm kind of scared. What exactly happens there?
Hi dear noodle π
In principle, there is no prescribed age when you should go to the female doctor for the first time. Some girls/women go there for the first time at 14 years, while others only go 20 or 21 years. Both are okay and always depend heavily on whether there is a reason to visit the female doctor.
A visit to the female doctor is recommended if you have a friend and want to sleep with it, inform yourself about contraceptives and also want to use them, or if you have abdominal discomfort or pain, as well as a strongly irregular period.
Of course, you can also just make an appointment with the female doctor for precaution or if you just want to be advised. This is of course also possible:-)
As a rule, only one conversation with the doctor or doctor takes place during the first visit to the female doctor. If there are no complaints or pain, there is usually no investigation at all. And if one should be necessary, it is not bad at all, just maybe something uninhabited at the first time.
By the way, I was at the women’s doctor for the first time at 17 years because I wanted to have the pill written.
The first visit to the female doctor is always an exciting experience, I also know this from my first visit to the female doctor at that time. It’s never easy if you have to take off for the first time in front of a strange person and then you’re still studying it. It is the normal job of a doctor who sees various naked people every day and doesn’t think about it, but as a patient you still have a natural shame in such a situation. Especially in the first examination, there is a bit of overcoming that a foreign doctor should be released at the bottom. But you’ll see if you’re going to have the first investigation behind you, then next time it’ll be a little easier and more relaxed for you. It is important that you trust the doctor and feel comfortable with him. The second time you’ll be much less excited.
Many female physicians often do not carry out gynecological examinations during the first visit. In most cases there is only a conversation with the doctor or doctor. It will also explain to you how a subsequent gynecological examination will take place and what the doctor is doing. There is also a short ultrasound about the abdominal ceiling, but this is always a bit different from doctor to doctor.
Your female doctor will ask you questions about your period, so when you first had it, whether it comes regularly, you have complaints or pain. In addition, of course, you or your family are also experiencing illnesses like allergies and operations. Of course, it is also possible that your doctor will ask you if you had sexual intercourse before. Of course, you can also use the opportunity to ask the doctor himself questions that have been interested in you for a long time or go through your head.
Before your first investigation, you might consider:
Make yourself fresh before the appointment and change the underwear again. Dress up clothes that make you feel comfortable. You might have a skirt you could wear. He might help you feel so naked later.
Take your health insurance card with you. As with any doctor’s visit, it will be briefly read in there and then given to you again.
Make sure you don’t have your period that day.
How’s the temptation going?
At first you will get an anamnese arch (question sheet), which you can fill in in the waiting room. Here general things are questioned about your health, such as whether you have special illnesses, whether you have allergies, whether and why you have been operated once, etc. Then a doctor helper will measure your size and weight as well as your blood pressure. After that, the doctor will talk to you. Here you will have the opportunity to ask all your questions that you are currently dealing with.
If that’s okay for you and you agree with it, he’ll ask you to free yourself down there. If you have a skirt or a long dress, it’s enough if you only pull out your slip. You can do that behind a partition, so no one will watch you. After that, the doctor will ask you to take a seat on the gynecological chair, where he will then first look at your intimate area from the outside and also scan for a bit. After that, he will introduce the so-called speculum (this duck beak) into you, giving him a good look at your womb. Then he will make a smear in you with a little stick. This may be a little bit of awkward or feel weird, but does not hurt. After that, he will remove the speculum again and may still scan your inner organs through your vagina and abdominal ceiling (but it does not have to happen). This was not done in my first investigation.
Finally, it can be that he will still offer you to scan your breasts for a short time. It’s best to let him tell you how to make your own home. You don’t have to show any shame. Your doctor will surely like to show you how to do that. He might even take the proposal himself.
It’s half as wild as you might think. You will see that the visit there (provided the waiting room is not so full) will be over quite quickly. The examination usually takes no 5 minutes. The doctors also know that there is an unpleasant situation for many patients, which is why most of them also have an effort to keep the examination as short as possible in the unclothed state.
I hope that I could help you a little with my answer and wish you all the best! If you have any questions about the first visit to the female doctor or need help, you can send me a friend request at any time and send me a personal message π

Hello
At the registration you will be greeted by a doctor helper who gives you all the necessary information and shows you the waiting room. In most cases, you will also get a clamping board with a note to fill in. There are usually such questions about predisorders and family history.
In the waiting room you will find a number of brochures that might answer you the one or the other question. Before you are called to the examination room, you should go to the toilet again, as the gynecological examination is easier if you have an empty bladder. Sometimes you will also be given a cup to check your urine.
As a rule, the doctor or doctor asks you first to talk to the office. She or he will ask you, among other things, why you’re looking for the speaking time, whether you’ve had illnesses or have been operated before, whether you’ve had intercourse and ask you questions about your cycle. At the women’s doctor, you’re well-resolved with your sexual questions and problems and can talk about everything and get answers to questions that have always been on your heart.
After a first interview, the gynecological examination follows. This is not mandatory if you first come to practice a consultation and have no complaints at the first visit if you do not want to. You can also let the gynecological chair, the other devices and the course of the investigation be explained before the examination.
If you’re being examined, you just need to take off as far as you need. You can wear a long t-shirt or a skirt so you don’t feel too naked. First of all, you can clear your underbody and take a seat on the examination chair. That means you put on your back, spread your legs and angle them. There are also two small movable shelves on the chair where you can adjust your feet angled
The examination begins with the evaluation of the external sex parts. The so-called speculum is then introduced into the vagina and the vagina is spread apart somewhat. If you haven’t had sexual intercourse, the female doctor takes very small instruments so that it doesn’t hurt. With the aid of a light source and possibly with magnification, the screening and the mother’s mouth are evaluated.
From the mother’s mouth, the female physician takes away cell smears once a year with a small cotton stick or brush that is assessed under the microscope. This is part of the so-called cancer early detection examination and is particularly important, since the mother’s mouth is the most common malignant pupils of the female genitale.
The probe examination is then carried out (sometimes the probe examination is made before the screed, which is different for each). To this end, the female physician introduces one or two fingers into the vagina, the other hand he puts on the abdomen. In this way, the size and position, mobility and strength of the uterus and the ovaries are assessed. If you haven’t had any intercourse, this investigation does not always take place over the vagina.
After the probe examination, a vaginal ultrasound could also take place. For this purpose, the gynecologist takes a thin ultrasonic rod and overtakes it a kind of condom and lubricates it with sliding gel to not hurt you. The ultrasonic rod is then introduced into your vagina and moved back and forth carefully. In this investigation, he can judge your womb and the ovaries. Depending on the practice, an external ultrasound can also take place or in the case of virgins, not always a vaginal ultrasound is made, but an outer one.
After the ultrasound examination, you can get up from the examination chair and first dress up again. The last is the examination of the breast. To do this, you need to remove your upper part and the bra and the female doctor will then scan both breasts and the armpits and look for knotty changes. The physical examination has been completed. You can stop the investigation at any time if it is unpleasant to you or reject an investigation like vaginal ultrasound.
The doctor or the doctor will now discuss the findings with you. Now you get a recipe or other regulations, even if necessary. If you have any complaints, it can be blood collection depending on the complaint image. This is done either before or after physical examination.
You should know that most girls are going to be a female doctor for the first time, if they want to be advised about contraception or if they want to be treated. especially if they want the pill. There is no age limit for the pill. For some female doctors, if you are not 16 years old, you need to submit a parent’s consent. In any case, however, the medical obligation to remain silent applies to parents.

Thanks this helps much more π€ Now I know what happens in an investigation about.
Without a chair, there’s no investigation at all.
Often the so initial appointments have, there are then often equal several young women who get the practice (also the chair, possibly is made in a “ultrasound examination”) and explain everything. That’s it. At the 2nd time, you would be alone, with your companion.
Depends on what you’re doing.
Really many studies without on the StuhI don’t exist… except for breast cancer (sample breast, breast ultrasound) or ultrasound over the abdominal wall.
Pill for prevention, or for acne?
A consultancy talk goes without investigation on the chair.
If you want to be examined, you will have to be naked at the appropriate places, namely intimacy, undercut and breast.
You can say that you just want to be advised.
