  • Hello Lyndseyxx, 

    It may be standard procedure for doctors to have to do such internal examinations - do check with your medical team though whether this was to be expected. If this does happen again, it is worth knowing that you could ask for this to be done by a female doctor or if that is not possible you are entitled to ask whether there could be someone else present with the doctor when the examination is being carried out. 

    I hope you won't have to wait too long for your operation. Keeping everything crossed for you that it all goes well! 

    Best wishes,
