medical exam

Can anyone tell me what the external genital exam entails. Don't get me wrong I've had 2 children and have no problems with modesty etc. However, I do think USCIS could've given a bit more detail. I know I'll have to go through a full breast exam (know what to expect there...lol) but the genital exam is a bit of a mystery. I'm not complaing about it but it's nice to know what to expect...so if anyone can help ease my nerves I'd be grateful.

You get a breast exam if you are over 35. The genital exam is, quite simply, the doc briefly looking at your bits (top only, no splayed legs or anything!). Takes about 2 seconds.

Thanks for that, I feel better already.

I think they mostly just want to make sure you're really a girl.

mine involved a quick peek in your knickers, like said before, just to check theres no appendage,

though I did get my boobs fondled and Im 30, so not sure about that one.

was tempted to comment...

'is that all I get for £160?, I should have gone to Kings Cross...'

but I bit my tongue.

dont worry really, honestly theres not a stirrup in sight.

The quick peek was the same for my daughter (7), which I was anxious about beforehand, but again, no need to worry

good luck x

My doc clearly told me that the breast exam was for 35 year olds and over. This is due to the low chance of breast cancer when you are of a younger age. I can't think WHY you were given one.

The same goes for your daughter's "quick peek". My son didn't have to show the doctor anything and he is 13 (12 then).

LMAO I would of found it very hard to bite my tongue

Getting back to subject, when I had my exam for K1 in November 2005 I had to spread my legs and he looked, I did not worry about it all because they are all doctors, and after 3 kids you do not worry anymore.
