I dont understand why they put you through this. I am in England, where we get smear tests at a certain age - but not the horrible stuff described by some of you ladies. I did keep going back to my doctor because I had pain after having a coil. It was not taken seriously. Some years later I bought myself a gynaecologist for xmas. A very nice man, he said a pelvic exam wouldnt show what he had decided was most likely wrong with me. That from an excellent surgeon. Yep I was right, I did know my own body. Because of stuff from the coil being fitted, I ended up having a laproscopy first, and then five hours of corrective surgery. One thinks, a good specialist should know by description if these things, these invasions are necessary. I feel sorry for those of you who feel raped by the medical profession - and I dont think you are being unreasonable at all for feeling that way. I think you need to try and find a good GP - ask your friends for recommendations - its what us old bitches do.
Oh, and if you come across doctors who are particularly horrible - kindly suggest to your sisters, that they might prefer to go elsewhere. Sometimes you have to circle the waggons and protect each other.
