Don't worry, a lot of "down theres" look different than each other. Besides, in sex-ed illustrations, they sort of simplify the drawings. If you took Advil or Nuprin and it didn't give you any relief, it's a really good idea to talk to the doctor. There are stronger antiprostaglandins that can help. (These are things that relieve muscle clenching, not painkillers, and they work for period cramps because they release contractions of the uterus to some extent.) It's also smart to be sure you don't have a polyp or fibroid. So, try not to be abashed, the doctor will have a nurse in the room and has seen a million vaginas (well, maybe not a million, but certainly enough to just see them as a body part). Also, I'd ask my mom to sign me up with a female ob-gyn if possible. It makes the first pelvic exam a little less stressful.
If taking meds like Advil or Midol for cramps, and if you don't get no sign of reliefe then you really need to see a gyn. It could be anything causing the bad cramping.
I agree with your mom. See a gyn!
