Today, I found out the test for a yeast infection is a vaginal exam. I've never had a deeper understanding of my own asexuality than in the moment a stranger, with another stranger as a chaperone, was poking at my intimate parts while I couldn't see what was going on. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I've been having persistent fungal infections and was getting treated by a male gynecologist. I had to go in to give vaginal swab tests. I washed and cleaned before I left, but when I got on the doctor's table I already had so much discharge. The doctor asked, "Is it the medicine?" I had to say no. FML
Today, at a gynecologist's appointment, I was privileged to have 7 co-ed nursing students stare at my vagina for 25 minutes as part of their training. At one point the doctor apologized for having to "open me up more than usual", but said she wanted everyone to get a good view. FML
Today, I noticed my boyfriend tasted different than normal so he got a doctor's appointment, which is where he discovered he has a yeast infection under his foreskin. Yuck. FML
Today, I’d been bi-curious for years but always much too shy to seek out a woman to attempt intimacy. Well, I finally hooked up with a girl I’ve had a crush on for a while. Not only was it an amazing, mind-blowing experience, she also left me with a crotch-searing yeast infection from hell. FML
Today, during an unrelated appointment with my GP, he offered me a free check for chlamydia. Despite me reassuring him that I was STI free, he insisted that I should undergo the test. I ended up agreeing, only because I was too embarrassed to admit that I'm still a virgin. FML
Today, it was the first time I ever saw a vagina in person. It was during medical school training on how to do a pelvic exam. FML
Today, I was explaining the inner parts of a vagina and how they work. To my boyfriend. FML
Today, I found out I have a huge infected boil on my vagina. The worst part was that I wasn't the one to discover this. My boyfriend was. FML
Today, I went to the doctor, who confirmed I have a minor infection 'down there'. It’s not sexually transmitted, but since there were no obvious symptoms, he asked how I knew something was wrong, I just couldn’t tell him my husband was going down on me and noticed it tasted different from normal. FML
Today, I got a breast exam. I'd never had one before, but assumed it would be quick and easy. I had no idea how ticklish my boobs are. I burst out in uncontrollable laughter and kept instinctively jerking away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Pretty sure you not getting aroused from it has little to do with you being asexual....

You're asexual and you had a threesome? Damn! I haven't been able to pull that off and I'm a lifelong trisexual -- I try to be sexual.

Um welcome to womanhood? You seem surprised by the exam. How did you think you were going to be diagnosed?

1. I'm a trans dude. I end up not getting a lot of information about my downstairs area. 2. I've just never had that exam before. 3. It's less the 'not aroused' bit and more the deep, fundamental knowledge that other human beings do NOT belong in that particular area...

The real nightmare is that type of exam occurs every 1 to 3 years.

That happens with non-ace people at the obgyn too. Now, if you've had other reason to think you're ace, that's fine. Just saying that this isn't the ONLY reason to think you're ace.

Thought urine was used to test for yeast infections??......hmmm...must be a new technique.

For female parts: Internal swab for yeast, urine looking for UTI.

Oh...Never had a yeast infection before.

It's like when you're a guy and the doctor is examining you with your pants down and then the hot nurse comes in and your penis has never been smaller

Yeah arousel is largely psychological. I would not expect this to tick that box.

Vaginal exam is NOT needed to diagnose a yeast infection. A swab is needed which they can ask you to do yourself. Wtf??
