You have many needs. You should consider counselling to deal most
effectively with your terrible experience with the rape. Even if you
feel OK, this is a good idea. As far as your first visit, we have
plenty on this on this forum's archives as well as a couple of articles
on this very question. Gyn 101
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
