Here is an embarrassing question, but I'm hoping I can get some helpFrom: anon (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 7 Aug 2003 00:25:32 -0500 (CDT)
Okay, I'm a 35 year old virgin who has endometriosis & have also been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. When I was first diagnose with PCOS, I was told by me doctor another name for it is "Stein Leventhol Syndrome"...I was diagnose via laparoscopy...he said my ovaries are very hard & oval (oblong)shaped. Anyhow, upon doing research for Stein Leventhol Syndrome, I have found articles stating that some people with this disease have both sexual organs or some sort of abnormality. Because of my endo, I have had several pelvic exams and no doctor has ever mention any type of abnormality. The only thing that has ever been mention to me (and it was by a nurse) is that my clitoris is not in the right spot. Everytime someone has tried to cath me, they are never successful with the first try (even a urologist) and that is when they mentioned that my clitoris is in the wrong spot and that is what makes it so difficult to cath me...I guess I don't really understand all of that, but have just sort of accepted it. Since I have never been sexually active, I don't know how any of this will affect that or if it even matters. My questions are: 1) would a doctor automatically mention to me that there is some sort of abnormality (I don't know how close they look at the clitoris & urethra)? 2) is this something I need to specifically ask my doctor during my next exam? 3)If this is something I need to ask, how do I go about asking this without sounding like an idiot...it is kind of embarrassing?
