I had a pelvic when I was seven years old to check for precious puberty
which I had. Many other tests were done, but I believe the pelvic was
unnessacry. My mother agrees and we think my "doctor" could be a
prevert. Just a suggestion, don't go with it. Your child's "doctor"
could be a malestor, prevert or anything. If you are 100% sure your
daughter is not having sex, what's the point in having this exam?
Overweight? I myself am slightly overweight but I have no problems. Look
into this and get serious. You may be the next person to stop a
pervert. As for your daughter, it's traumatizing to lay on a table with
your legs in stirrups while they "probe around" You can do what you want
since you are her parent but my suggestions are say to the doc "Sorry."
