I am Experiencing Weird Discomfort from the Abdomen to Vaginal Area
Hi,
I am 23 years old. I am experiencing weird pain coming from my my abdomen. It feels like something feels like it's sharp. I don't always get it. I might get it like 2 times a day or maybe even none a day. I also get weird vaginal feeling and it seems like something near the bone, the nerve is twitching or aching a bit but it's a very light feeling. When I got my period last week, it came on time however, the character was weird. The pain was different compare to others. It felt more like there was a lot of acid. The amount of blood was a bit less than other times but then it was thick. The fourth day of my period, there was nothing on my pad until when I pee it comes out. My period lasted 7 days. There was also a bit of burning sensation in the vaginal area when I had my last period. I also have to mention that I have severe back pain for months. However, it comes and go. I can get back pain for a week and then 2 weeks being fine and then pain for 5 days and then fine again. The pain does go down to my thigh and I was really scared that it's something very severe.
I googled and I got a lot of different things. I am really scared because I so scared that I have cancer of some sort down there. I don't even want to think about it. I went to the doctor and she said that the backpain has nothing to do with the menstrual period stuff. She said because I am tall and I always sit in a wrong posture and sleeping on a bad bed that caused the backpain. For the vaginal bone pain and the weirdness of the pelvis pain, she said that it shouldn't be something severe because I don't have sex! She did a PAP smear test on me, and I failed to do one because it was too painful for me to have the spectrum inserted to my vaginal area. However, she did put her fingers into me and tested the inside if everything felt right. She said it's fine. She also said that the weird pelvis feeling was a sign that my fertility level is high. I am really worried because it seems like there's no answer for this. Even though she told me it shouldn't be something major I feel like something is wrong. I don't have sex, so I don't have STD.
Another thing that I have to mention is that I am depressed and stressed out. For the past recent years, I continuously suffer a lot of trauma and unhappiness through my life. I get really unhappy and I get frustrated and angry but then I never release them out. All of those vaginal pain and pelvic pain started when my best friend told me she went to do the PAP test. After when she told me she did it, I start to think about it a lot because I was really scared because I think I needed to do one. And then I started to feel those weirdness down there. I really don't know if it's my brain/mind that's messing with me. Last night, I received a really happy news and all of the weird symptoms was gone. Today, I was really happy too because I made a lot of money. However, when I came back home, I was by myself, and then I start thinking about worry I have about my health, the symptoms start to show up again. Please, I really need help. I don't know if I should see a therapist?
Do anyone have any idea of how to do pap smear test for a virgin without pain?

Hey, thanks for your reply!
And yes, I think my doctor is not doing her job right. She's my new family physician. I thought she was good because she had a lot of patients and she stopped taking new patients.
I wanted to do the HPV prevention shots, instead, she gave me those flu shots/measel shots.... however, she did it for me the 3rd time I visit her not the first or second.
If she was a responsible doctor, even though in a doctor's perspective is nothing severe, she still could of asked me to visit a professional gynecologist because I was obviously worried. I was holding my tears why explaining my problems to her and she could probably tell. I felt like she thinks that I'm thinking way too much and I'm over worrying about my health because I can tell she was laughing her had inside... but of course I am concerned! It's my life!
Thank you so much again for commenting!

Hey thanks for replying.
This is actually my second time going to her for the same issue. She said the back pain was from my period. However, because my backpain comes too not affiliated with the period.
I did an ultrasound already they found nothing on my ovaries. I did urine test twice and turned out fine. Blood test was normal too. I even did ultrasound for my kidneys, liver, bladder... you name it I did it. The first time when I did the ultrasound, they found a stone in my kidney but then the second time I did it, it was fine. The stone was gone.
I wasn't even prepared for the pap test. My family physician did for me and she did not go slowly. She tried it in once and I was like "Wow, that hurts!" She tried it again and asked me if I wanted to do it, I said yes. I want to know if I'm alright down there. She tried it again and then I was in pain and then she decided to give up. I'm planning to go to a the women's health clinic to get it done again professionally by a OBGYN.

"I went to the doctor and she said that the backpain has nothing to do with the menstrual period stuff."
Your doctor's odd. I know a lot of women who have lower back pain during their periods. Everything's cramping down there in response to the pain caused by your uterus. Makes sense.
"For the vaginal bone pain and the weirdness of the pelvis pain, she said that it shouldn't be something severe because I don't have sex!"
Yeah, it only means it can't be something caused by an STD or an ectopic pregnancy. But it could be some sort of infection or an ovarian cyst. Did she check for anything like that? A simple culture would test for the prior and an ultrasound could look for the latter.
"She did a PAP smear test on me, and I failed to do one because it was too painful for me to have the spectrum inserted to my vaginal area. However, she did put her fingers into me and tested the inside if everything felt right. She said it's fine."
That doesn't give her an idea what's going on with your cervix. Did she try putting more lube onto the spectrum or going slowly? Did she have you scoot a little closer to the edge? I had two pap smears when I was a virgin, and since you are over 21 you should have had one by now anyway, sexually active or not.
The first one hurt and was uncomfortable, but I kind of just gritted my teeth and took it, and the OBGYN went slowly since she understood I was not used to something like that. The second time, I was in the ER because of lower abdominal pain (I was thinking appendicitis because it was on my right side) and ended up having an ovarian cyst, but anyway, a male nurse did it and just shoved the spectrum in. It hurt so badly.
A pap smear is going to hurt no matter what, but you need to remember to breathe, explain to your doctor that, while it's not common (a lot of them seriously doubt you if you say you're a virgin), you are a virgin and therefore need her to show a little more care and use of lube and such, and she uses lube and goes slowly, you should be fine. Bring a pantyliner just in case you have some spotting. I did after my first pap smear. They are scraping cells off your cervix, after all.
It could be as simple as your head messing with you, but do see another doctor and see to it you get some proper care. This one sounds like she wanted to be done quickly.
