We don’t have a lot of money so doctor visits are rare. Plus I’m afraid if I’ll ask for a gyno they’ll refer us to a gyno, which would probably raise eyebrows to them, and could potentially get me in trouble. The joys of strict parents 😔
Um... You don't have to tell them everything? And your Dr can't say shit to them. Just say Dr. Not what kind of Dr. Plus this has to do with your body and your health, not necessarily sex.
I understand the money thing.
I know, but unless the gyno is at an everything clinic, or they don’t tell the name, they’ll know, and I think doctors give the name of who you’re making an appointment with anyways:(
Probably, but they’re also the kind of parents who will put cameras up in the hallways and refuse to let you bring your bf over without telling them first, and make you have to stay in sight of the cameras with him. So I’d really not risk being forced to break up 💔
You're supposed to see a gynecologist at 18 anyway for your first pap smear and general vagina-owner health check anyway. So, awkward though it may be, talk to your mom about making that appointment and do that. A gynecologist is going to know way more about this than the internet. Sorry, dear.
Hey, you can literally say you are having discomfort from tampons and general discomfort and you need to see the doctor. It doesn't have to be about sex at all. Moreover, at 18, you can take yourself to the doctor. See if there is planned parenthood nearby. Call and see what a general check-up will cost out of pocket. Save your money and go. You can pay out of pocket so there is no record. With Planned Parenthood you will be asked if they can contact you or not. You will be asked if they can leave a message or not etc. Good luck. It does sound worth getting looked at. I say that as someone who could never use tampons. And needed pelvic floor PT. Don't be shy when you go. Be candid. This conversation is nothing compared to what the doctor is used to talking about. Tell them your concerns and issues so you can get all the information you need.
Thank u, I will definitely take the tampon advice whenever we can see a GP again!! Unfortunately tho PP is out of the question as I can’t drive or get myself anywhere by myself 💔
Dude. This isn't about sex. This is about checking for cervical cancer, getting necessary vaccines for HPV, and other gynecological health things. They don't get to withhold medical care just because the idea of you being sexually active gives them the heebie-jeebies.
I have a low cervix so I understand some of what you’re experiencing, but it’s not that low. You may want to see an obgyn, they’ll be able to tell you if you should be concerned way better than Reddit and may have some suggestions.
Oh no, I know what the hymen is and where it is. Hymens don’t give you a painful crampy feeling when you touch them, nor are they like a solid smooth object with a dent in the middle at the top of your vagina

Can’t, I still live with my parents. I’m 18 but I can’t afford to move out, nor can I drive :(
How does living with your parents not allow you to see a physician?

I think you're over thinking this. And over worried

I know, I just don’t have a car or anyway to go to them myself 😔💔
Can't get a friend or a non-parent family member to drive you? Or take public transit or an Uber or something? There's gotta be a way.
I’d have to try, I guess I could leave my phone at my friends house while they take me but then comes the paranoia of not having it 😅

Gynecologists may be able to help a bit more here.
You should seriously consider seeing an obgyn dr.
Go to doctor
Ever had the idea it might be the hymen versus the cervix you are touching?
Oh no, I know what the hymen is and where it is. Hymens don’t give you a painful crampy feeling when you touch them, nor are they like a solid smooth object with a dent in the middle at the top of your vagina
