How Do You Make And Appointment For a Doctor?
Posted: 04-06-07 11:18am

I want to go get myself checked out- I have something that looks like a pimple or ingrown hair but I want to be safe - but I want to do it without my dad finding out.
I'm 15 and it would be REALLY uncomfortable talking to him about this. I live in Canada so I don't think I have to pay anything but I'm scared.
What do I say on the phone? How to I let them know what I want? How do I sit there and let a complete stranger stare at my vainga?!

I'm assuming you've never had an appointment with an ob/gyn before.

Just call up your doctor and tell them you want to have a pap smear and std test done. This should be done every year once you become sexually active, and sometimes sooner.

As for letting "a complete stranger stare at your vagina"... this is their job, and they are very professional about it. They've seen so many vaginas that it probably doesn't even faze them anymore.
