well it depends on what you're going to go in for. I recommend to every woman that after you are sexually active or if you are 18+ whichever comes first, to go get a papsmear done at least once a year. I had cervical cancer and that is the only way to test for it and it can happen to anyone, they can get rid of it very easy if they catch it soon enough. They will also normally do a breast exam for you to check for breast cancer also, so that's important too. Papsmears don't hurt if you go to the right doctor, but they're uncomfortable. A papsmear is where they put this thing in you down there to open you a little bit, for virgins I'm not sure what they do you will have to ask, but they then take a long cotton swab and rub the cervix with it to get some cells off, they then test the cells to see if they are normal. Some doctors also check your rectum by sticking a finger in your butthole, like I said, uncomfortable, but not painful. Us women have to deal with alot of crap lol. But it's for our health so. Now if you just go in for the hormone test, they will take blood, so if you've ever had your blood taken before, that's all they do. I use to give blood all the time to blood banks so that wasn't an issue for me. They tell me I have a rare blood type, so I try to give when I can. My life was saved when I was little by someone donating blood, so I just wanted to pay that forward. I had a severe nosebleed one time that they couldn't stop right away and I swear I bleed out at least a bucket full of blood, and I was 8? maybe 9? years old and very tiny. I was rushed to the hospital (I was passed out so my mom told me what happened). We get there and they find out my blood type and start panicking because they did not have anymore of that type of blood in the hospital, they started calling other hospitals, the first one nothing, the second they had some, not much, and it was 45 min drive away. A man in the waiting room of the ER overheard what was going on, he was there because he broke his leg at work. And he said he had the blood type and to take it from him. That man saved my life. They said if he hadn't of done that, I would not be alive because in 45 more min I would have died from lack of blood in my body. So yea, taking blood and needles don't bother me, I do it all the time. But I think the best thing to do is to call a GYN and explain your situation and see what they recommend to do. I'm not a doctor so I can't give you medical advice. Good luck!
