If you feel like you&#8217;d need to &#8220;check out&#8221; for the exam, it might be best to wait for any internal work. Discuss this feeling with your therapist to determine the best way forward for your examination and treatment.<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"JsGRdQ\" style=\"color: #000000;\">If you tend to disassociate to a nonverbal place for genital examinations, also discuss this with your therapist. You may be able to keep talking through the exam or plan verbal check-ins so that if there is a change in the way you verbally communicate, they&#8217;ll take that as a cue to end the exam or treatment. Discuss this with your therapist if you&#8217;re

it.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4 style=\"line-height: 1.46; letter-spacing: 0.041em; font-family: 'YACgEf9PiBg 0', _fb_, auto; font-size: 17.3333px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/h4><h4><strong>Do I have to
