    What to do in a gyno appt
    I am 13 yrs old, and I have to go to the gyno for an unssual bump on my vagina. I would feel more convertible if the gyno did a FULL exam, speculum, breast exam. The whole deal. What should I tell the doctor? What should I say?

    If you are not sexually active then a speculum exam is not necessary. Why do you feel the need for a breast exam? You are young and your breasts are still developing, this is not necessary at the age of 13.

    The doctor has seen many girls your age, and some younger, so he'll know what to do for your first appointment.

    Tell him what you've said to us here. If he/she agrees, he/she will perform the exams you're suggestion. If not, the doctor will explain why you don't need them.

    Don't worry too much - just be honest about what you're experiencing physically, and what worries you. There is nothing you can tell the doc that they haven't heard already. :)

    PS - good for you for going to the doctor! Most girls your age would avoid it so I'm glad you're being proactive.
