Hi DLT
Pelvic exams are a daunting thought for most let alone someone with such past experience that you've had. I have not had an examination myself but I imagine I'd feel much the same as you if I knew I had one looming. Perhaps you could specify the sex of your gynecologist to which ever feels more comfortable? Would your boyfriend go with you for support? Gynecologists are most likely used to apprehensive patients as I expect there is only a minority who's happily and comfortably go for one of those examinations. They are professionals who are there to look out for your health and if you feel you can be brave enough to go through with an examination, I'm sure you'll feel it was worth it afterwards. Good luck,
