I'm 25. Just went for the first time in July.

I love my doctor. She's wonderful. She made the whole experience tolerable. Not something I want to do every day, but once a year I can stand, I suppose.

I would encourage you to go, maybe try to find someone who deals with survivors of abuse. Or ask around and see who people recommend as a good doctor. I prefer a woman, others do not. It's important to take care of yourself.
