question for girls

[chuckroast]

i have always wondered:

when guys go in for our physicals, our doctor always checks on the health of our penis... checking for hernias too.

what i am wondering is if doctors look at girls' vaginas too, or if you just go to an obgyn... what are they looking for?

[Elscire]

girls do have something called the pap test, its where they use a long Q-tip to get some of the vaginal fluid to see if they have cervical cancer

[Gamebreaker]

Yeah, they also do breast exams and a ton of other stuff thats shown on www.puberty101.com lol.... go and read it! :D

is that just a US thing or something?? because ive never had that done. or is it when you get older?

[~Ðarç~]

i think its when you get older

the prostate ... inspection...so they say...i call it probing...anyway, they do that when your like older, the whole thought of it scares the hell outta me T_T but yeah i think its when you're older

[Aηdy]

ah cool. im only 14, does anyone know what age you have it done?

[~Ðarç~]

i think the prostate...probing is at 32 or like, after your 18 i know that

for a guy its when your at risk of prostate cancer, iono for girls prolly same time =O
for a guy tho, it hurts fckin bad (so i've been told) cuz they hafta stick it into it...for girls tho, they juss hafta take the cotton swab (q-tip) w\e you wanna call it and get fluid, so it wont hurt so im not sure =O

First, the "prostate exam" is given to men around the age of 40 to check for prostate cancer, or something. This is when the doctor looks in your anus to look for the prostate cancer.

Second, I believe the penis inspection is to help the doctor's know if you have testicular or other problems.
