I had my FIRST gyno exam and it was VERY PAINFUL!!!!! Im still a virgin so I knew it was going to be uncomfortable but I nevr imagined it to be so painful. I ended up bleeding heavily afterwards and the doctor told me that she cut my hymen, dont remember the exact words she used, but she told me I might be bleeding abit later. SOOOO, what I want to know is if my hymen was cut on purpose (i dont think I would have bled so heavily if it was a minor cut or something) ...and how normal is it to bleed after your first exam?? Are all gynological exams painful, I kept tensing up for mine which Im sure made it more painful. All I Have to say is that I hope the first time I have sex doesnt feel like that!!!!!!!!

Gynecological exams can be more painful when you are not relaxed and are tensed up "down below". Your body will get used to it eventually as you become not quite so nervous and not scared.


As long as you are very turned on and your body is prepared for sex (very wet), it will not feel like that exam.


As for cutting your hymen... I've never heard of a gynecologist doing that before... so that is new to me.
