Health Make sure to get regular checkups By Taysha.Murtaugh iowastatedaily.com A regularly examined vagina will be a happy vagina ’m lying spread-eagle on an exam table with my feet in some stirrups, as a doctor peers into my Ivagina. She runs her fingers down my clitoris, labia and vaginal opening before inserting a cold metal speculum — a tool resembling a duck bill — which she uses to pry open my love hole and look at my cervix. Yes, I’m getting a pelvic exam. And as if donning a ridiculous flowered hospital gown and showing a stranger my cooch isn’t humiliating enough, I’ve decided to describe it here to potentially thousands of readers. So why would I risk becoming known as “that girl who wrote about her lady parts in the Iowa State Daily?” Because sexual health is important, and get- ting a pelvic exam or a Pap smear is all part of being a woman. Through an annual exam, your gynecologist can detect things like ovarian cysts, STDs, uterine fibroids or early-stage cancer. Think you’re safe from STDs because you haven’t experienced any symp- toms? You’re wrong. One in four college students has an STD, and 80 percent of people with an STD experience no noticeable symptoms. This means many cases go undetected and untreated. Most doctors recommend every woman get an exam by the time she’s 21 or three years after becoming sexually active — whichever comes first. You should also schedule a pelvic exam if you’re ex- periencing any unusual symptoms, such as bleeding between periods, pelvic pain, skin changes, abnor- mal discharge or urinary problems. By now I’m assuming most of the males have stopped reading; in my experience, guys don’t espe- cially enjoy thinking about foreign objects going into a vagina, unless that foreign object is them. That’s okay, because this one’s for the girls. Male sexual health is important, too, though, so to be gender neutral I’ll just throw in this line: “Drop your pants, turn your head and cough.” Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk vaginas. First, you make an appointment. There are three clinics in Ames that offer pelvic exams and pap smears as a service: McFarland Clinic, Thielen Student Health Center and Planned Parenthood. If you’re struggling financially, don’t have health insurance or can’t go through your par- ents’ insurance for privacy reasons, you may qualify for free services through Planned Parenthood. The time of the appointment doesn’t really mat- ter, but most doctors recommend you avoid schedul- ing it during your period. If you’re uncomfortable with having a male doctor, make sure to request a female. Personally, I prefer women — yeah, that’s what she said. Regardless of their sex, though, it’s important to remember that doctors and gynecolo- gists have seen it all anyway, and they all do a pretty Red Canna, c. 1923.
