- There is a lot of confusion about when to get a pelvic exam and what happens when you do. Hopefully this short video clears that up.

The dynamic between your bubbly host-like persona and his "I'm just doing my job" nonchalance is amazing.
Wow you put it the best way possible
They were eye fucking each other, his feigned indifference is blatantly obvious and her accismus was evident from her not blinking, with a dazed stare.
Your doctor was so sweet and really seemed to care about not just your heath but your overall comfort during your visit.
She likes it rough.
99.9% of Doctors are like that Rachel
yeah u r right. I would act absolutely the same when I am being videotaped while doing my job.
He seems nicer than most doctors I've ever gone to, combined
Jimmy Pea wut.
Its absolutely amazing that this exists as a video for women getting their first pelvic exam, I'm sure its helped a lot of people overcome their own anxieties and helps them understand what to expect.
That wasn’t a biannual pelvic exam. Just a Pap smear. Dr Doe missed out on the icky male dr shoving his fingers into her.
Yes it helped me expect what to happen. A lot of discomfort and pain!
What is your private party name

Добрый вечер Александр Владимирович здравствуйте от вас😊 Ош❤
She is so sweet how could you not just love her.She helps those who worry clear their heads before going to the doc's.
Those plastic speculums with the light are so much better than the metal ones. Much smoother and not as cold, which makes the experience more comfortable.
Rockapella66 i didn't even know they existed, my doc still has the metal ones (allthough he keeps them in a heated drawer, bless him)
A heated drawer! Sweet.
minion8 My doc has them too, but runs them under warm water for a few seconds before putting the lubricant on. :)
Rockapella66
I was in my late 20's the first time I had a heated speculum used on me. The doc also had socks over the "foot holders" as Dr. Black calls them. It's amazing how much these little things can help .
I wish my doctor had the plastic speculums. He still uses a metal speculum every time he examines me and I always feel so cold when he inserts it.
Lindsey is very brave to share such a personal video like this for those worried about visiting their OBGYN. Thank you Lindsey, for putting yourself out there for our sake.
This was an OUTSTANDING video, especially for gals who have not get gone to have a pelvic, or for the guys who are curious what their loved one experiences. Thank you Dr. Doe for your bravery, wisdom and insight. And thank you to your doctor; he seems like a kind, compassionate doctor that any patient would be blessed to have! Thank you as well for all of your hard work!
Wow she’s brave that she’s expressing herself and that she would share this to the public.
She reminds me of Kate McKinnon.
What brave? she didn't show anything.
At 2:39 she's clearly embarrassed.
I don't think he actually did an exam, but I'm sure it is helpful for women to prepare for their first exam.
i had absolutely no idea what happens in these pelvic exams and have been super fearful of when i have to start getting them, but seeing it be so simple/fast/not awkward at all was such a huge relief! thank you lindsey!
I'm so glad you made this video. I'll be going in for my first pelvic exam soon and was extremely anxious about it, mostly because I didn't know what to expect, but seeing how short it is and seeing your reaction to everything he did is putting me more at ease. Thank you thank you thank you!
I like the way you talked to your patient, and not doing a bimanual exam as a routine test is wonderful
I truly appreciate the work you’re willing to do to make others feel more comfortable🖤🖤🖤
Edit: as a teenage girl I should at some point fairly soon go to a gynecologist. A couple years ago I was pretty certain I had a yeast infection and wanted to go to the gynecologist. My mom already had an appointment for herself so she asked her doctor about me coming in. The doctor told my mom it would be traumatizing so I should go to my pediatrician instead. I didn’t want to do this because I felt I would be more comfortable with someone who looks at genitalia all day everyday. I ended up never going. So something like this definitely makes me feel a lot better about my inevitable future😂🖤
You're an amazing woman Dr. Doe and courageous. You put yourself out there for all to see and learn. You're my hero.
I've heard a lot of horror stories about male gynecologists being inattentive and dismissive towards female problems, so I've always been somewhat sexist when selecting my gynecologist. I'm so glad to have seen this video - Dr. Blake was very professional and caring, and it made me realize that a doctor's gender doesn't have any bearing on skill. I love my current gyno, but the next time I move cities I will not automatically eliminate a doctor based on gender. Thank you for helping me see that my fears were based on prejudice, not fact, Lindsey!!
amagicbeanbuyer I've always chosen men over women because I feel like they are more gentle because they don't have the parts they are working on. lol
amagicbeanbuyer opposite here : D
When I learnt, that my stately, very, very prude grandma actually goes to a male gynecologist, it blew my mind!
But in general, I go for online ratings and have never been disappointed. Due to frequent moving I had to find a new gyn about evere 3-4 years. One time I had a female gyn, who was a... horse. She was really good and educated me well and explained things about my body. she was one of those doctors where you feel good about asking even very emberassing questions - super important! But she was very rough during the exam. She never hurt me, but it was an uncomfortable experience.
Now I have a very neat old gentleman (simply because he is insanely well rated in the area i live) - and justly so. Same thing: uncomfortable questions are perfectly fine to ask, he's very attentive and careful and experienced.
One thing is very odd though. He moved to new rooms, which are very fancy and decorated with modern art. one of the art pieces is the shape of a woman in 3d coming out of a metal canvas and she's looking... very happy with her naked body - lounging, presenting herself. it's racy. And the sculpture has a prefect victoria's secret body. It is obviously abstract, has cutouts and is not meant to be a real woman, but... this prefect shape is the thing you see before going into the exam room. I am pretty sure, this is actually meant to make people feel more comfortable, but it could have the opposite effect on people who are insecure about their body shape.
amagicbeanbuyer You never know, actually. They say male doctors are usually more polite and considerate, but I wouldn't go to one of them, because... ugh! However, in my country (Russia) you may experience all the circles of hell in a female gynaecologist's consulting room: slut-shaming, homophobia, have-babies-and-it'll-pass lectures, have-penetrative-heterosex-and-it'll pass lectures, rude and painful treatment, etc etc. The first time I went to the gynaecologist I was 22 - I was THAT scared by horror stories from both IRL and the web. This doctor is also my mum's doctor - so I wasn't even very nervous because I knew she was good. There weren't even any surprized comments on my being a virgin at this age - and there could have been, although it's clearly inappropriate for a doctor. But I would never risk going to a strange doctor - it's fraught with psychological trauma for the rest of my life.
amagicbeanbuyer I admit, I prefer female GYNs, given the choice. I've known women who would "NEVER let another woman touch me down there." The best GYN I ever had looked like a very stereotypical butch lesbian, probably late 50's. Best exam ever, because I barely knew it was happening and then it was over.
amagicbeanbuyer I've had female Gynos who were incredible dismissive. And I've had very understanding male ones. It is a person thing and not a gender thing.
Thank you for making this video. I'm 29, and I had never been to a GYN until today. I had been too scared to go, but this video showed me what to expect. In fact, the exam ended up being even easier than Dr. Doe makes it look in this video- I literally didn't feel a thing. Now I know that it's not so bad.
This video is exactly what I was looking for. You've done it again, Dr. Doe :)
Literally watched this (by sheer accident) the NIGHT BEFORE MY PAP. SOOOOOO helpful. I'm not scared anymore. This was great. Thank you Lindsey!!!!
Kelsea O'Reilly Okay, that made me happycry.
sexplanations I honestly have my first PAP on the 27th and have been getting increasingly nervous. But I don't understand, a lot of women (even that i know) say they experience extreme discomfort or even pain. Which experience is more common?
thisisthedelia I had my first one about a month ago (I'm 20) and I was extremely nervous about the whole process and if it would be awkward and if it would hurt, but it was pretty easy, very quick as you can see, it is slightly uncomfortable and I did feel crampy during the pap smear and a bit after but it went away quickly. It's really not that bad and it's good for you.
thisisthedelia I'd say that what Lindsey described is pretty on point. Sometimes I will experience minoring cramping afterward as a result of the cervical scraping, but not always and it resolves itself quickly. Some women could have a disorder that causes them to experience discomfort or pain when inserting objects into the vaginal canal, if that is the case, I would understand describing the process as painful.
+nat5309 +ComplicatedSalad Well this is good to know! This makes me feel better...which is good cause I hear it's also important to relax (tense muscles and all that).
Some people need to understand that doctors can completely switch how they look at the human body once they are at work. It just becomes...a body. No level of eroticism whatsoever during such check ups.
Demian Haki Same thing with morticians and people investigating dead bodies. It'd be pretty overwhelming if you're constantly thinking about the person the body belongs to. :\
Erick Wright True. Also, they obviously still think about the person in terms of maintaining dignity, but it simply becomes a completely different focus on the body. Like the different perception between seeing a body presented in a biology book vs. in a nude magazine. Massive difference.
Demian Haki It's called being a professional. Never let personal feelings interfere with your livelihood. Your boss at Burger King might like you, but if you have to be fired, he's gotta do it.
Demian Haki Yeah, sorta like when a person watches a movie like The Human Centipede. You don't look at the human body the same way.
Demian Haki Also, they've seen so many bodies that even conventionally attractive people don't typically bug them. My grandma's a nurse, and some of my friends' parents are doctors.
I'm 21 and I've had to get a pap smear once now. I have CPTSD and that whole experience was absolutely horrible. I sobbed the entire time I was shaking and it made it harder to physically put the speculum in. Watching this video, while it was hard to watch like I'm shakey right now.. it also really helped remove a bit of the irrational fear? Because its tied to my CPTSD it's not going to go away just because of this one video but seeing it happen to someone else and being safe as I watch and seeing how easy and quick it can be, it's amazing. It's really really amazing that you made this videos for a whole list of reasons but I just wanted to say thank you for helping me with my particular experience ❤
pap smears hurt,,the doc should ask us if we want a pap not just sneak it in along with the pelvic exam ,I refuse pap smears ,they are not necessary
@@kay8698 they’re testing for hpv
I'm glad you & the Doc were both accepting enough to pull this video off and educate the people!
Dr. Doe you are my hero. I was so scared to go do this but now I'm fearless! Thank you!!
Brilliant episode, thank you Lindsey, and pass on our appreciation to Doctor Blake!
It sounds as though at first he wasn't sure quite what to expect or how to handle this normally delicate, discreet and potentially embarrassing procedure with a camera crew and such an upbeat and non-ashamed patient, but you must have set him at ease because by the end he was certainly getting into the spirit. Chatting and volunteering hypothetical information (informative to the viewers!) instead of tunnel-visioning in on your "nothing to see here" specifics or bustling matters along as doctors are more accustomed to doing in these cases. :3
I have a lot of anxiety around doctors when I don’t know what is gonna happen so this video was a huge comfort to me. Thank you
I like your willingness to share what would be intimate moments for most people. And you still manage to keep it fun and lighthearted.
You are a bold, bold woman, Dr. Doe. I admire your courage, and the sincerity you have to help others be more comfortable with themselves.
You're so brave. I'm always so, so nervous during pelvic exams. Thanks for making this, Dr. Doe!
It took me years to feel confident enough to have a pelvic exam. I hope your video helps others take the plunge and get theirs done too! Thank you.
This lady is a real trooper. I just stumbled onto this while on another video on urology and am glad I did. I think it will be really helpful to many girls who will have to do it someday, sooner for some than others. Love Lindsey's bubbly and enthusiastic spirit, and that smile that makes her face sparkle!
I have been so scared to get a pelvic exam ever since I figured out what they were. This video has taken my preconceived notions and flipped them on their head. Thank you so much, Dr. Doe!
Lindsey, you never cease to amaze me.
Thank you for this video. I have a lot of anxiety surrounding my first PAP Smear as I haven't had it yet. This eased so much of the anxiety surrounding it for me. Mentally, I know that there isn't anything to really be afraid of. I love my gyno and trust her deeply. But the fear of the unknown (i.e. sensations, pain?) surrounds the pelvic exam for me. Many around me told me it was the most painful thing that they had experienced "down there" besides child-birth. My mother, on the other hand, says about the same as you, Dr. Doe. Little crampy and cold, but other than that, routine. I would assume that those around me who said it was painful beyond belief had underlying issues. All of this to say, thank you for being so open and willing to share your knowledge and experiences with the Internet. Without your channel, I would not be equipped with the knowledge I have today about my body, my sexual health and well being, and honestly -- how to protect myself. Thank you.
I had a smear test today (in Ireland) it was similar so I'm glad I watched this to prepare. thank you!
This is so incredibly helpful. I have my first exam coming up in about a month and I have so much anxiety surrounding it. This is really helping me to feel prepared and more comfortable about it.
anxiety can be greatly reduced by going to a female doc
Sweet
I have a female doctor, I’m sexually active, and I still refuse to get a pelvic exam and Pap smear. I also have an Anxiety disorder
Wow, this is so freaking brave but will help so many young ladies! I had no idea what to expect from my first pelvic exam and no amount of Google searching helped.
I can't even imagine having being filmed while having a pelvic exam!
This video is so great! I wish I watched this before my first exam! I love this channel 💜
I really appreciate your videos. Very informative and you cover stuff that should be talked about more.
ahhh this came at the absolute perfect time!! i have my first ever pelvic exam on monday and it really helped to see this. i'm still a bit nervous but hopefully everything will go smoothly!
How did it go?
StarsNight123 it went great! i mean, it wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but i'd get a pelvic exam done over going to the dentist any day, hah.
homeintheclouds awesome :D
totally unimportant but you have to give kudos hes a really cute doc and a good bed side manner
***** Dr. Blake is a nice looking man. I'm a straight cismale and I kinda thought he was attractive. But it could be that he reminds me of me.
LOL!
***** Like a thinner faced Haley Joel Osment.
I wish all doctors were like him. I've had some who treat the body as just a physical thing and totally ignore the fact that there's a person in here and I require a little warning before you stick your fingers up my backside. I usually make people buy me dinner before doing that! At the very least more lube
One of your most important videos in my opinion,thank you so much for everything you do
This is such a useful piece of information, de-mystifying the whole thing.
A similar video about colonoscopy would be very useful, too. I had to have one a couple of years ago and really had so little idea what to expect. As it turned out it was quite a surreal experience with very kind and lovely practitioners (I think there were three of them) and we spent most of the time chatting about nail varnish colours in between "...and just turn a little bit to your left...". What had started out as a very daunting prospect became actually a very pleasant experience.
Thank you for everything you do, Dr. Lindsey Doe! This was amazingly informative and easy-going, and I will certainly recommend it to my friends with kids at the age of doing the first exam. Now if only you or someone does the same for *prostate exams*, that will be quite awesome for another demographics.
I'm really glad he talked about the bimanual exam! My regular physician had never done one on me before, but when I had to go to the hospital for a possible cyst complication the doc did once without any explanation! Definitely felt invasive, like Dr. Blake said. Glad I now have clarification on what it is and why it's done!
The woman that is taking the exam is the livelest CZcamsr I ever seen and so interesting and enthusiastic woman I like to watch her video so much! It's amazing! Thanks for the honest reactions!
i loved his energy, it was calm and casual but not uninterested, i hope i get a doctor like that when i have to go in for an exam
I agree with you but at the same time, it's different from the average cherry personality of doctors I've been around so it does make me more anxious lol
This is great and so brave of you to do. I commend you for doing this and your dedication to educating people on sexual health. I believe that through this video you will help countless women take the fear away of having an exam while continuing to educating all on what it means to be sexually healthy. Thank you Dr. Doe.
I really really wish I had this before my first exam. Informative with some on sight experience! It was still helpful to watch either way.
I think this video is amazing because I had my first pelvic exam last week and she really helped me prepare.
My doctor is the best shes made me feel comfortable and I didn't experience any pain or discomfort besides the cold hands and cold speculum.
Also just a side note, my experience is an example of why shows like sexplanations and people like Lindsey and her team are SO important and need support and to be shared with the world. I was going into a brand new experience. I didn't know what was going to happen, how to prepare or if I should be afraid. This video made it seem like a normal and healthy thing. It made it relatable. If Lindsey can do it and not be scared and be relaxed so can I. And hearing what the dr is going to do and more importantly hearing from Lindsey herself how it actually felt was really informative and comforting. I know what to do and expect now. I cannot emphasis enough how important this channel is to my life and how much I hope that as many people as possible get to experience and learn from it.
If the pap smear hurts, its because the doctor uses too much force,, ,tell the doctor to be gentle
This is going to be SO helpful to SO many girls. I think a lot of young women push this off because they think it's going to be terrible and painful, so you showing that it's REALLY not that bad will give a lot of people the courage to go in.
It's also really important to have a good doctor. I like how he goes in like it's no big deal- cause to him, it really isn't. For my last exam, my OBGYN went from joking around right before the exam to speaking to me as if I was a frightened baby bunny in like, 2 seconds, haha. It's also really important that they tell you what they're doing as/before they're doing it.
Ma'am , you are ridiculously good at educating people about this.
Chris Aurora you are very well educated person you know your stuff I wouldn’t mind having you as my gynaecologist you explained things very detailed and your honest about what needs to be done and what doesn’t need to be done
Awesome episode, I could have used something like this as a teen when I was afraid to go even though I was experiencing heavy irregular bleeding. My fear kept me from getting an early diagnosis.
lat me just say, Lindsey, your amazing.
I usually dislike the poses of sexologist and psychologist ect, cuz they stay tucked away in their comfort zones wile the patient opens up. In that note uploading your pelvic exam to CZcams is sooo brave and helpful and well, I'm literally speechless.
Thank you so much Dr. Doe. I never had an exam like this but in my country, I will have them in a few years for prevention. I didn't know how it would be like and now I feel way more relaxed, just knowing.
Tysm for making this, I have a appointment coming up that I really need and it's my first and tbh was very nervous and have been watching videos to educate myself on what will happen which made things worse, almost cancelled my appointment, but watching this video made me feel more comfortable and okay with it, admittedly a little nervous still but way more calm and okay about it so thank you very much 😊
At my last appointment I told my doctor I was having pain during sex and they proceeded to tell me it was because of the position I was in. But it 100% wasn't. I hate being ignored about what I'm feeling.
Unfurtunately, many doctors are a little too impatient when we try to explain our problems :S If the problem stays, you shouldn't hesitate to go see another doctor at a different clinic! It's a hassle but if you feel it might be a physical/health problem, you deserve a second opinion on the matter.
KatrinaKingsOfLeon I've found going to a family planning clinic rather than a GP is often better as they are used to dealing with those issues and aren't so quick to dismiss stuff. There are clinics all over for people when it comes to sexual health.
KatrinaKingsOfLeon If it's a burning pain, it may be an infection. And some doctors are jackasses - if you can, try to see a doctor who will listen to you.
+KatrinaKingsOfLeon I worked for a gp for 8 years. Not every doctor is a fit with every patient. If you find a doctor isn't paying attention to your concerns and you don't have a good relationship, the best thing to do is find another doctor. It doesn't necessarily mean the doctor you were seeing is bad, just that he or she is not the one for you. For these issues, it's best to find a gynecologist that you connect with. I talk to my gynecologist about genital health AND emotional health. I talked to her about my relationship that ended and how devastating it felt to be single again at almost 30. She listened to me and gave me an view on how to look at a relationship that wasn't healthy. It's so important for a woman to have a doctor she feels comfortable with. I hope you find that.
Come 4 detail
This is fantastic thank you Dr doe
I had an ex girlfriend who hated going to the doctor because of a history of bad news in the family health and she had extremely nervous time going when I went with her which was the first time she went in years for a checkup watching videos like this I believe would have calmed her down and make her feel more comfortable great work you are the best
Finally, our hero Doe is actually participating. When we actually get to see the exams it is for real and actual. Thank you doctor DOE
I didn't read all of the comments however, Stirrups are not for horses. They are for humans when riding horses so they don't fall off and they are attached to a saddle which again, is for the human feet to help them not to fall off. Love your stuff!
Feel better about yourself? Is it really necessary to correct something so insignificant to the video?
This is actually really helpful because I've always been really scared to do this and now its not that bad
That was one of the better exams I have watched. Brave!
“ feels like a menstural cramps”
“ yeah not very painful”
Me:🤨
Yeah I had cramps and spotting for several days after
#whenyourperiodsaresoheavythatitmakesyoupassoutfrombloodloss
right, like wtf!!! It may not be as painful as child birth, but exam is very uncomfortable!!!! It is not painfree!
@@maddyoliver1642 wow, that's a massive hashtag that I'm glad I don't have to ever use. I'm sorry for you.
Yeah she seems kinda weird to me. I wouldn’t even feel comfortable having a male perform a Pap
Dr Doe. You are possibly the best doc ever !!!
Thank you for taking us along to such an intimate/possibly awkward situation.
also i loved that last comment at the end. speculum sizes do differ and often times they default to a smaller or average size since often that is all they need but i myself need a larger one since my cervix is really far back. definitely never be ashamed to ask for a bigger one. it has no correlation for being a "loose" woman.
This video helped me prep and to not feel scared of my first pelvic exam. Thank you!
What an awesome Dr. to let you record the exam. Hope test results are neg.
I always feel uncomfortable for days after getting mine.
Also, I would like to point out the whole speculum size thing has no relation to your own physical size.
Every doctor assumed because I am a very large person (more than 350lbs), that I would need a large speculum, but my last doctor finally realized that it was nowhere near the right size, and got me the really small one and although it still was uncomfortable, it was a LOT better.
What A Prude !
Thanks for informing us on what size thing they use to put up your vag at the Obgyn.
This is kind of…revolutionary.
JenniferLoveSCREWIT you're right. it's really great
Revolutionary ??? That exact same procedure has been going on for 45 years that I know,,
Yes, yes it is
@@russellclement2058
I don't think they're talking about the technology or techniques shown here, but rather the fact this appointment was both filmed and then posted to CZcams.
It's really great of you to make a video and describe what it was like. A lot of people that makes uncomfortable and there are some perverted doctors that take advantage and don't do an examination properly. A lot of girls don't know what to expect and they get taken advantage of.
Wow, Dr. Blake gives a fantastic pelvic exam!! Avoiding triggering language, telling you what to expect, explaining what he's doing...fabulous! I'm watching from the perspective of someone who has taught students in health care how to give pelvic exams, and this encompasses essentially everything I would teach! A great tool for people learning how to give safe, consensual, and comfortable pelvic exams
Yeah right you guys are perverts . The newspaper are full of perverted doctors and perverted nurses . Go and read nurses boards etc you read them and you will never ever have another opposite gender examination my own experiences have been awful I first hand experienced these perverted nasty nurses with stupid grins on their faces !
you....this video is so considerate
Thank you so much for doing this for us! I have yet to have my first pelvic exam (I am 20 and my family doctor says I don't need to start until I'm 21) and it makes me a little nervous even though I know these are an important part of keeping up on your health. So yeah thanks, I can't wait for the next video!!
I’m 28 and never had one
honestly i had no idea what this would be like, its good to know. always helpful!
This was so helpful. I haven't had a pelvic exam yet in my life, and turned down one at the doctor last year, because I was afraid. Now I feel comfortable to get my pelvic exam next time! Thanks Dr. Doe & Team. Happy New Year!
i so wish this video existed 10 years ago when i had my first pelvic exam and pap. major kudos.
Now she has to do a video on another scary doctor's visit.......the orthodontist.
That's way worse. Especially if you already have braces.
RealCoolCowboy What do they do?
1234kalmar They are a kind of dentist that helps out with straightening your teeth
Brother Cyan Exigenic Thanks!
***** I'm really fortunate i only had the removable baraces then. Holy crap.
Early detection of illnesses and diseases is VERY IMPORTANT in successful treatment. Thank you so much for this video , it could save a live.
That was actually very interesting! I commend you for being so open in your discussions and your show and tell. Thank you for all your great information!
I wish this was on the internet back before I had my first pelvic exam. No one prepared me, no one told me what the doctor would do, and I couldn't relax. Up until recently I've kind of avoided going back, but I think I feel better about the idea of getting acquainted with a regular gynecologist now.
For anyone who is getting their first pap sometime soon: When I got my first one done, my doctor also did a couple of swabs for STIs (chlamydia specifically). The pap itself feels like a pinch or a cramp but the swabs don't really hurt at all. as well, for many young people, the cervix might bleed a little the first couple of times you get it done (you'll see blood on the little brush and maybe some spotting in your underwear). my doctor said this was completely normal though. good luck, everyone!
As a guy who has no relevance to what is happening here, except perhaps being a first year med student, I just wanna share how incredibly comforting I found Dr. Blake's presence.
Thank you Lindsey! I’m watching this the day before my first pap so I’ll know what to expect.
Her facial expressions xD
I know right... I was kind of like are you about to have an orgasm?
Shes definitely had this done before...🤷🏽♀️
Her expressions reminded me of Chad from the SNL skits. Okay, cool.
Incredibly important episode!
One important point is that in pelvic exams, if the physician is a male there is a female nurse or nurse assistant present during the exam. This is to prevent any inappropriate action by the physician and also to protect the male physician from false allegations by the patient. Those things can and do happen.
William Keith Females can sexually assault too.
@@arkwing_7174 We live in a double standard world my friend. Yes, it should be illegal not to have a Male nurse present but in reality no one cares.
I actually cried during my first exam. I was not prepared for it to be as painful and uncomfortable as it was. :( I do have some health issues though so I'm sure it's less of a burden for people who are healthy. Hopefully next time will be a lot better.....
That alleviates a lot of my anxiety about having an exam done in the future!
I'm so glad you posted a video like this! It's important to get an annual pelvic exam. I feel like it's part of staying healthy and excellent for preventative care and even help with relationships, should it be needed. Thanks Dr. Doe! I feel this will help encourage more people to get an annual pelvic exam now that they can see it's no big deal.
Thanks for stressing the importance of pelvic exams. You should encourage every woman to get one, to get over their fears. Many find it's pleasurable. More women should post comments about their exams here.
She is doing a great thing for women by helping inform them about the exam process. She is also gorgeous
Fantastic video! I'm going to save this to show my daughter when the time comes. What a super doctor too, he's very professional!
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL! I'm almost 19 and my mom keeps telling me that i need to go get examined. and I can't recall whether you've done a video on it before but can you do a video similar to this one but with mammograms?
Fascinating stuff. As a non-vagina-owner, I've had an awareness of pelvic examinations but of course is never known exactly what process female friends have been referring to when they mention one.
And it's always fun to see you get off the couch and out into the world with your curious camera crew, too. Nice one.
A non-vagina owner, I like that description of a male.
This was really helpful for me! I’m 14 and going to a gynecologist for the first time for heavy periods and painful cramps and I may need a pelvic exam and I’m scared and wasn’t sure what to expect.
As a man i watched this for no other reason than i just love Lindseys open and fun nature. She is as entertaining as she is educational.
As a man I had no idea how uncomfortable and invasive this exam might be for women, now I know what my wife goes thru when getting a pelvic exam.
I look at it as similar to what a guy goes through when getting a prostate exam or a colonoscopy.
Somebody please answer my question as a woman DO YOU HAVE A CHOCIE TO DO THSI OR NOT Is it optional
@@kellilowery1379 of course you jave a choice
@@kellilowery1379 You have a choice technically but it's a really beneficial procedure that can prevent you from having a lot of potential trouble; cervical cancer is no joke and this is the best way to catch it before it's too late. So I wouldn't pass on the pelvic exam.
@@kellilowery1379 ,you can say no,,I dont like the pap smears ,they hurt,,,If you have pap smear pain, its because the doctor uses too much force,, ,tell the doctor to be gentle
