Whether you get the "full" exam or not usually depends on your doctor. When I brought my daughter in, a full exam was not needed because she is not sexually active. I suffer from the same things you do, and noticed that at 11 years old my daughter would stay home sick from school. Eventually (it took many years) I convinced her that this amount of pain is not normal and medical attention is needed. Birth control pills did work for my symptoms, however use with care as they are a depressant. If you also suffer from bipolar or depression make sure you let your doctor know this.
