women only please…how can i get over anxiety of going to the GYN? afraid of what I might find out.?
May 9, 2009 by admin
The main reason I am anxious about going to the gynecologist is the fact that it has been about 4 yrs (I'm 24) since my last visit and I have had 2 more partners since then who had been with other women before me.
Also, about a year ago I noticed some small skin colored bumps down there that did not hurt AT ALL and never turned red or blistered. I did some research online and I came up with HPV (Genital Warts). Since then, all of the bumps have disappeared.
I am getting married to the greatest guy this coming summer and I want us to be healthy going into our marriage. I know there are a million reasons why I should be running to the gyn. first thing tomorrow, but I am SO nervous about finding out that I have an STD or even worse… cancer. I know I probably don't, but I guess what I need is some encouragement. I don't need anyone to put me down for not going already. I KNOW it's time… I just need other people who know how I feel to give me some encouragement.
Thanks.
My fiance knows about ALL of this… well, except the part about me asking complete strangers for their opinions… 
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN SO POSITIVE AND ENCOURAGING. I AM PLANNING ON MAKING AN APPOINTMENT VERY SOON!!
It is so important that you go every year. I know it can be very scary. Now a days if you do have something and it is caught early enough, the doctor can take care of it. Sometimes if you wait too long it is harder to treat and can cause other problems.
After you get it done you'll feel so much better!
