I can only imagine how uncomfortable an exam must be, so I would assume they would use lubrication to make it more bearable.

    It doesn’t help. I think I’d probably qualify for a vaginismus diagnosis. Just never pursued one as it never causes problems for me—I’m not interested in being penetrated, so it only causes problems during exams.

    I’ve had a hysterectomy before where they went through the vagina so it must be physically possible to insert something up there. I guess they could only do it when I was asleep so I couldn’t complain lol.
