Unfortunitly all you can do is be there for her and help her through this. The doctor will almost definitly do a pelvic exam, maybe a pap. The only thing i can suggest is try to find a doctor who is experienced with young females and who is sensative to her needs and fears. Also, maybe set up an appointment before the examination, or try to book a double appointment so that the doctor can talk to you and your daughter and maybe help her to feel more comfortable with the whole thing.
