  • ... and why exactly did they have to examine you?

    • I had some discharge. It was due to a vaginal foreing body. I didn't want the doctor to find out what i had done to myself.

      Anyhow, this experience made me very anxious today during gyn exams as an adult and doctors automatically assume I was either the victim of rape or something else when I wasn't. And when I try to explain it to them, they still don't understand it and it aggravates the hell out of me. So much so that I never want to see a gyn again and I desperately need to now. And only two major hospitals serve my area and there is almost no private practice gyns and my insurance (Medicaid) doesn't give me a lot of other options. I'd rather die of a gyn cancer than see another gyn.

      • I'm sorry that the experience of being examined by a doctor traumatized you, but it's not exactly normal to insert foriegn objects inside yourself when you're only six years old. I didn't even know I had a bodily orifice down there when I was six years old. Why on Earth would you penetrate your nether region will a foreign object at such a young age, what gave you the idea to abuse yourself in such a way?

        It's probably quite normal for health professionals to question whether, or not a child who did that was abused though.

        • Idk. Just curiosity. I put a Barbie doll down there and was just rubbing when its foot/leg accidently went inside my vagina. I didn't intentionally put anything in there. Boy, did it hurt and it was stuck and I yanked it out and then I bled a few drops. I was so scared.
