Medical Exam

[Alberto Junior 12]

I went for my I-130 overseas medical exam yesterday, and in one of the exams the doctor put something like a cotton saw inside my (removed). Yes, you read it right.

That was so painfull and everytime I would pee yesterday, it hurt a lot.

I felt like I was violated and I was sad all day.

As anyone gone through the same? What is that for?

Most likely it was to check for STD.  Usually doctors do a swabbing test for STDs such as chlamydia.

Can't they test for STDs if they just analyze my blood and my urine?

I was so chocked that I even forgot to ask what's that for?

Depending on the STD.  Some are tested drawing blood, taking urine samples, and some are with a swab.  It all depends.  For instance, for HIV they draw blood.

My wife was tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia during her medical exam, along with the other things medical does, like vaccines and regular check up.  It's all part of the CDC guidance.

No problem at all.  Sorry they weren't upfront with you about it beforehand.

I was just chocked because it's the first time that I see that kind of test.

But thanks a lot for your information.

Yes! That's what upset me the most. 

But at the same time, I think is better because I would be scarred before the tests.

I've had that test done before, so I feel your pain!

Hahaha!

Oh man!...I feel your pain too

I'm sorry for laughing

It's funny now that think of it when the doctor told me to take my thing out, I thought first that I misunderstood him

Haha. No problem with laughing.  I was uncomfortable at first.  Just keep a professional mindset and it's all good.
