What is OB/GYN Exam Anxiety?
It can show up in many ways, such as:
Putting off or avoiding appointments: You might cancel or reschedule repeatedly, or simply not book an exam you know you need.
Physical tension: Your body might tense up, especially in the pelvic area, making the exam painful or difficult.
Panic or extreme nervousness: Feeling your heart race, sweating, trembling, or even feeling like you can't breathe during the thought of or during an exam.
Flashbacks or distress: For some, past difficult or traumatic experiences can be triggered by the exam setting or process.
Feeling embarrassed or ashamed: Believing your feelings are "silly" or that you should just "get over it."
Therapy offers powerful tools and strategies to help you approach OB/GYN exams with greater calm and confidence.
You don't have to face this anxiety alone...
