Just wondering if people in the child free community are as adamant as I am about refusing to be violated by a doctor just to get some dogammed birth control.
I'm 22, just got my 2nd prescription for the pill and I'm already being pressured to have a pap smear next year because they recommend it by age 21. I don't know if they will hold my prescription ransom when I refuse to be manipulated by their scare tactics or not but I'm looking into online purchases just in case I might be denied my right to privacy and birth control.
Now I'm not saying if the 'benefits' outweigh the risks for a person they shouldn't. Whatever floats your boat. I'm not ashamed of my body but that doesn't mean I'm going to allow a stranger to violate me with metal tools [though I do have fantasies about robots and their handy tools emotion_awesome ].
I've been researching the necessity of pelvic exams and pap smears on asymptomatic women tonight and the basic sums from many professionals from a medically scientific view comes down to this.
Doctors are putting too much pressure on healthy women to spread their legs in order to screen for abnormalities and cancers when all the woman wanted was some simple birth control.
Pap smears are invasive, cold, uncomfortable, harmful, inaccurate, and often traumatic for the patient.
Pap smears often produce false negatives which lead to more invasive procedures that butcher the cervix and can cause many problems and there usually isn't even anything wrong with the woman.
Most doctors will disregard their patients wishes to their privacy and comfort and use scare tactics to coerce her into getting into the stirrups.
Why, and what's your outlook on the annual "wellness" exam?

My personal opinion is 1. Doctors get to charge you for these unnecessary exams which means money money money, and 2. It's a man's world and this is just one more way he gets women to submit. Do you see teenage boys and young men being pressured into being fingered and prodded with medial devices? There's the prostate exam. However that's usually not even recommended until about he reaches his 40s. And men face way much less pressure from their doctors to be examined to receive medical care/medications.
I'm only 22 and I'm already being told I should spread my legs on stirrups and press my breast against a rough machine to check for a select few cancers. Why do I need to get naked to check for these cancers and why are these cancers more important than skin cancer, mouth cancer, lung cancer, countless cancers can be named but no one has once suggested I get checked for these other cancers. The chances of contracting cervical cancer is much much lower than doctors would like you to know.
I don't believe my body's out to kill me. And if it is, so be it. I'm not afraid of where I'm going and if I die, it will be once my duty is served. Now give me my ******** pills until I'm ready to be sterilized. emotion_donotwant

crying Another touchy subject... that I cannot really participate in due to my external organs...
I do agree with you though, there is a lot of money to be made in this... I guess cursory checks for stuff that has a less than 1% chance of happening. I also agree that females are far more pressured to get these kinds of procedures than males. There are no campaigns out there to get males to run to their doctor to be checked for all the various cancers involving our parts because they are pretty rare once you hit a certain age.
Of course you have to entertain the possibility that this is a doctor pushing his or her twisted pro-life agenda on you. What better way to force females and/or males into a life of accidents than to make it impossible to get birth control. At the end of the day they are the doctor and they have the power to decline you whatever meds you want.
mrgreen These are the times I am happy that females are basically disgusted by me and would not let me go near their fun parts. I do not have to worry about this stuff.

I should have replied sooner. D: I'm lazy.
It's quite sad because there's actually a lot of women out there who value their bodies sacred and simply allowing a stranger to do those things to them is comparable to rape. Problem is mainstream society is so manipulated by the medical system they really believe the only way to guarantee the longest life possible is to relinquish their bodies to the doctor. And these people even go so far as to shun those brave enough to stand up for themselves. I mean think about it. You spent your whole childhood being told by your teachers, parents, popular cartoon characters that it's your body and no one has the right to see it or touch it in a way that makes you uncomfortable. And then, you hit 20 and all of a sudden you're supposed to just disregard all that for a doctor because that's what being an adult is all about. No one respects your right to privacy if it comes to this subject like it's not really your choice or something and not doing it makes you stupid and you're probably going to come crawling to the doctor when cancer finally catches up with you.
