Rectal Exam on Sexual Abuse Survivor?

My doctor is pretty sure I'm having bad problems with hemorrhoids on the inside of my anus, but I have an appointment later today to make sure. They are horribly painful, but there's a big problem.. I'm only 16 and until I was 12, my father sexually abused me. He raped me repeatedly vaginally and anally. The doctor said that he would have to perform a rectal exam and most likely would perscribe rectal medication. I'm TERRIFIED for a rectal exam.. After what my father did, I have not let ANYONE near that part of my body. I know he's a doctor, but I'm afraid I'll have a flashback or a panic attack or something. I'm really scared and I'm not sure how to handle this. Any suggestions or advice?

My mom isn't much help. She knew what my father was doing and didn't do a thing to stop him. So I can't really go to her for this :-(

I've reposted a few times because I'm just looking for some advice or opinions.. my appointment is in a few hours :-(
