Re: Has anyone else experienced worse symptons after an internal examination?

My Gyn always says "I don't think I want to do a pelvic exam because I'm afraid I'll stir things up."

I'm assuming this means that when she does a pelvic exam everything will get inflamed like someone else has already stated. I used to dread those pelvic exams!!! 2 weeks ago though I had a physical with a pelvic exam and it was PAIN FREE! It was awesome. No screaming pain anywhere in my abdomen.

Good luck!
