True Life: Do You Feel Uncomfortable with a Male Gynecologist?

June 14th, 2012 - By madamenoire


Tiffany: It was weird at first, but I figured if my mom trusted him with her health then I could do the same. He also has the best beside manner that I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

Porsha:  I personally prefer a woman because she has the same parts as me and can better understand the female perspective.

Lauretta: Well to me it would be a bit embarrassing and nerve wreaking to go to a male gynecologist regardless of the fact that he is a doctor. I get too many bad memories of creepy male doctors as it is. I would feel a little more comfortable with a female gynecologist then a male.

    Personally the sexual preferences of my gyno isn’t a factor. I’ve had both and would rather a female. They get in get what their looking for and get out. No extra conversation no roughness. Over in 5 mins

    I’m so loving this article and the comments. I’m scheduled to see a male GyN for the 1st time next month, and I’m a little concerned.
    I know there is suppose to be a female nurse in the room with us. Furthermore, I trying to focus on him being a professional. My first thought was “hell no”!

    Ugh, my first experience of seeing a gynaecologist was last year when I had my IUD fitted. Initially, I thought I would be seeing a female one, as that was all I saw coming in and out of their offices. Unfortunately, my one was a black Nigerian man who looked uneasy the moment he saw me, which was made worse by the fact that I am ALSO Nigerian. You could just tell he didn’t want to give me the IUD and he definitely wasn’t gentle. Even when I went for a check-up a couple of weeks later, I got him AGAIN! I have to go back soon for another check-up, but I’m hoping I won’t be seeing him.

    I have a male gyno and i had a female gyno. In my search for a gyno i was looking for an experienced doctor, one who is highly knowledgeable about the field. I could care less about their gender. I go to doctors after i do extensive research about their quality of care and if their office has the latest medical technology. My doctor is really good, he picked-up on changes my PCP didn’t. My gyno’s office is so relaxing. I was impressed.

    I’ve gone through several traumatic sexual experiences throughout my life (I am only 22), so not only will I refuse a male GYN, but I also refuse a female GYN. I’ve gone only once and it was because something scary happened to me and I had to go. Having someone down there is emotionally painful for me. I have to mentally check out. I am scared because I know if forbid my health is at risk I still may not even go. This is what happens when you abuse children/sexually assault someone.

    @Medina hit the nail on the head. I have had 3 female gynos and my now male gyno (which my mother had been telling me for years). I told myself before i ever had an appointment that i would be more comfortable with a female….and I swear all 3 of them retook my virginity with how rough those pap smears were. My male doctor makes me feel comfortable, and it doesn’t feel like he’s trying to destroy my insides.

      I got felt up by a female gyno. As for those who think male gynos are weird, would you
      be turned on if you saw diseased vajayjays everyday?
