Hey everyone.
So, I'm 15 years old and I have never been to the gynecologist. I have to go because my mom wants to make sure I'm OK after a sexual assault. I really, really don't like being touched or looked at so I'm scared. Also, I'm scared because I don't know what they're going to do. If they're checking for STDs, what do they usually do besides draw blood? I want to ask my mom.. but she really doesn't like me bringing up anything related to the sexual assault, it makes her very sad.. so I thought I'd ask the women on here.. thank you very very much.
