Is it normal to have a fear of doctors touching you in your private areas?

Like about 2 months ago I had to go to a doctors appointment with a gastro. I've always refused to get naked for doctors, my dad recently passed used to be a doctor and he would already know how to treat what I had. However, I felt sooo nasty that day. Like I could feel it for days and I started thinking about it again. Like it was a girl, I'm a female too. Then she said something about my buttocks and how something about it was abnormal. It was really gross. I mean I feel soooo gross. I need to get these thoughts out of my head. Please tell me that it's okay to feel this way??
I've been sexually abused too. I don't really think that this has anything to do with it. I got SO SO SO that day too. I was kicking the seats. I mean I don't think this is good. I don't know how to tell my mom this because she just says deal with it.

    Wait, so your father abused you or was it someone else? I do think this might have something to do with your abuse. I'm the same way. I've always had "issues" with being naked for doctors and doctors having to touch my tummy and look at my genitals. I recently found out that I was sexually abused as a kid and I think that my uncomfortability (I know it's wrong!!!) at being nude around people stems from that. Eventually, you can't avoid this. I suggest you seek help with a professional.

    I feel the same way hun, although maybe not to the same eaxtent. Just keep telling yourself that this woman is a PROFESIONAL, has seen hundreds of naked bodies before, she's not checking you out or anythin, thats all in your head. To her you are just another human body, just another set of anatomy. You love yourself and your body and you just got to do what you got to do to take care of it, no matter how squimish it makes you.

    Yeah you need to write your story again it doesn't make sense. Sorry that you were abused as a kid that's tough, but the rest of your story is very confusing.
