Maxi pads

Does your gynocogist offer you a pad at the end of your exam to put on just in case u bleed or spot any after your exam?

Nope, but one is always prepared with supplies in one's handbag. Never know when you will get caught out these days.

At my wife's last annual exam, the nurse did hand me a pad for her since her cervic was bleeding. Her cervix is very tender and thin due to her pelvic radiation. It was a first for me to be handed the pad while the doctor was still doing the bimanual exam.

I've never been offered one by my doctor, but I did have one gynecologist that kept a stack of pantyliners next to the tissues on the counter. They were never pointed out specifically but the doctor would generally say "there's tissues there to wipe with", gesturing towards the counter and I guess the assumption that you would see them and help yourself if needed.

Like the other ladies mentioned, I also have a pantyliner in my bag as I always have supplies on hand.

Mine doesn't verbally offer, but there's one with my paper gown and samples on the table in the exam room.

My doctor offers my a pad after every exam. So I can decide on my own if I want to use it.

They offer but I bring mine own

My doctor does have them laying out on the counter next to the wipes. So after the internal the aide hands me a wipe before they leave. It is one of the wet wipes sort of like the one you use before the urine sample. She never said anything about the liners specifically but I would take one if needed.

Yeah they have them in the exam room and in the toilet cubicle. Have used them before but I take my own and decide if need to use it or not.

I've only been offered pads/tampons after exams that occurred during my period (due to heavy/irregular period issues). But for a regular exam I have never been offered one, but they keep them around in sight so I guess you can take one if you need it!

I've only been offered a pad after a colposcopy (I'd had am abnormal pap) and also after an IUD insertion. Both of these procedures result in bleeding or spotting, so the pad was necessary.

Routine exams, either the doctor wipes off the excess lubricant from my vulva, or gives me a tissue so I can do it myself. No pad is necessary.

I was offered a pad after my IUD insertion. I don't think you should be bleeding after a standard exam...

I've only been offered a pad after my hysterosalpingogram, but they usually have a few set out in the office in case you feel you need one.

After a virgin has her first exam, is it common to have bleeding ?

Not once... i have something with me usually

My GYN has them sitting on the counter in a box. I never use them. I will stand a few minutes and the excess KY runs out and I catch it in some tissues. No big deal. I HATE, LOATHE PADS, PANTYLINERS ETC!!! I hope I NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER need to use them!!! That also includes diapers or any sort of undergarment of the sort!!!

My wife got offered some after one of her exams, she was on her period, her doc uses the liquid based paps.

I have observed both pads and tampons in the gynecologist's office.

One time I actually watched a male gynecologist insert a tampon in my wife after he was done examining her.

If memory serves me correctly it was after her performed cryotherapy on her cervix.

I would expect any good gynecologist, being considerate of his patients, would have a supply of feminine hygiene supplies available.

My Ob/Gyn is a women. She always has pads and tampons in a basket in the exam room and in the bathrooms. I usually bring my own in my purse. It is a brand thing I guess.

They are available but I have never taken them.

I'm with the comment below that enjoys the residual KY. I know some like it and some don't . However, it is the tangible evidence of the exam that is still there later in the day. It's a shame to waste it on a maxi pad.

Yes all of the Ob/Gyns in the group I go to have pads and liners available. I bring my own and use them. Mostly for the KY and the usually large amount of my own type of lubricant. I feel I should get a discount as very little KY is necessary. .

I have often wonder if it is somewhat messy or discharge after a gyn exam and if it would require wear a pad or liner.
