Maybe you’re nervous? Or maybe you’re just wondering how to prepare? Here you will get some tips for making your visit a bit more comfortable. (note that this post is only partly translated).
Husk at gynekologer er leger som har utdannet seg videre innenfor kvinnesykdommer og fødselshjelp. Kvinnesykdommer og underliv er noe de jobber med daglig! På Majorstua kvinneklinikk har vi erfaring med nervøse pasienter som går ut etter timen med et lettet sinn. Gynekologiske undersøkelser er fort gjort, og du er i dyktige hender. Husk at selve undersøkelsen som regel bare tar noen minutter!
Det er lov å være litt nervøs og lure på ting. Vi har skrevet ned noen tips og råd som du kan lese før timen din.
Here are some tips to read before your appointment:
- Remember that this is something you do for your own health.
- The more relaxed you are during your examination, the faster and easier it will be.
- Trust your gynecologist. These are specialized doctors on the exact area you’re there for. If you trust your gynecologist, it will be easier for you to relax. If you feel like you don’t trust your gynecologist – switch!
- Be honest and tell your gynecologist if you’re nervous or anxious about your appointment. Being honest and sharing your thought is especially important if you experience discomfort or pain.
- Try to relax your muscles. Avoid pinching your thighs and abdomen. If you find it hard to relax, try focusing on your breath. Take deep breaths repeatedly.
- If your having an IUD inserted, it is recommended for some that you take paracetamol and ibuprofen 1 hour before your appointment. If you’re nervous, feel free to contact us before your appointment!
- Wash normally, preferable without soap. Avoid washing inside the vagina, as the gynecologist will check if the discharge looks normal.
- You do not need to worry about the looks down under nor smells.
- You do not need to shave! Hair is normal.
- Feel free to wear clothing that is easy to put on or take off. If you find it uncomfortable to get undressed, wear a dress or a long top.
- If you push your bum towards the edge of the gynecologist’s chair, it will be easier for the gynecologist to perform the examination.
- If you have questions about your visit, or find it hard to talk about, feel free to write it doen and show the note to the gynecologist.
- If you have experiences sexual assault or have traumas that could affect your examination, please let us know in advance.
- There are many scary stories out there, don’t listen to them! Every woman is unique and experience situations differently.
