Would you prefer a male or female ob/gyn?
Okay, I’ve always heard about visits to a male gyno being uncomfortable and at least 5-10x more humiliating than with a female ob/gyn. Men don’t seem to care, ore even understand, what women have going on, just as long as they get to see their privates. I’ve even seen this thing on TV about a lady who saw a male gyno, and it was obvious that he was perverted because he always talked with her on his lap, didn’t seem to care if she was sick with HIV or whatever (not that she HAD HIV or whatever), and the police found out that he had been doing that with 71 of his other patients and was sentenced to jail, and the lady stuck to female gynos from that day forward. Preferrably, I would choose a female ob/gyn because you can talk more comfortably and openly about women’s sexual health issues, and women gynos actually seem to UNDERSTAND and CARE. It’s nothing discriminating at all!!! But sometimes you get the feeling that some male gynos are…well..perverted. And it really does seem uncomfy..

I’ve never had a guy, but I don’t think it would make much of a difference to me. I’d just feel pretty awkward if he was cute
After looking at vaginas all day, I’d think that any male obgyn would remove all sexual thoughts from it. Kinda feel bad for their wife…
I’m honestly more comfortable with it being a woman, because she has what we have, ya know? Also your right, some guys are perverted, and we may go once and get THAT doctor that is the one that is going to do more then he’s supposed to, etc…
But I’ve always preferred & will always request a woman
i perfer a male b/c he was much more gentle then the female doctor i had. He seemed to care more what i was going through where the female didnt seem as compassionate
I have had both male and female obgyns. I really don’t prefer one sex to another. I have found that it is really their personality, not their sex, that is the main factor. I have usually been able to talk openly with either. I do think that men are more sympathetic than women are when it comes to periods, pregnancy, etc.
This is a lot of stereotyping. I used to feel that a woman would naturally understand a woman’s body better… but women docs can be insensitive and uncomfortable too.
I initially picked a female Ob when I found out I was pregnant… couldn’t stand her! She acted so superior and like my questions and concerns were not worth her time. Then I went with a midwife who was great, who worked for a male Ob/ Gyn. Turned out, I ended up needing a c-section and he did it, and was wonderful. I had my follow-up pelvic exam with him and he wanted to hold my baby.
There are both types out there with both sexes. Just being female doesn’t necessarily make one a better doc for women. And being male doesn’t make you a pervert. The most important thing is to find a doc who’s compassionate and listens to you.
female…i feel a lot more comfortable around females….and men can never actually understand what us females have to go through our whole damn lives….
My three Gyns (I have moved a couple of times) have all been female. My present one is great. I can talk to her about anything. So was my second.
My choice is due to comfort and how women gynos know more about the women’s makeup vs males gyns don’t. Plus, my mom’s nightmare experience with her male gyno years ago. She switched to my female gyn because of it. He gave her unnecessary meds for a condition she did not need and she had an awful time.
A woman-they have the same equipment!
My ob/gyn is a man. He is very caring and I can talk to him. There is NOTHING perverted about him. This is a job to him. He’s not in it to look at vagina’s. As a matter of fact, on the occasions I had to see the midwife (when the doc was out) I didn’t think she understood me half as much as my regular doc.
I take quite some offense to this generalized and stereotypic justification to make male ob/gyns out to be perverted individuals who are more concerned about looking at privates than taking care of their patients.
Do you have any idea what male ob/gyns actually see? During my rotation in Ob/Gyn I ended up breaking up with my girlfriend of 6 months because for the duration of my 6 week rotation I couldn’t have sex with her. You see delivery after delivery, and for any of you ladies or males out there that have seen one it is no beautiful sight, end results perhaps but not the process itself. Then the patients you do actually see tend to mostly be of 3 types: 1) Patient in for contraceptive pills 2) Patient who is pregnant that you check fetus position with Leopold maneuvers and fundal height (on outside no internal exam) and 3) Patient in with venereal warts, Candida infection or suspected STD. Trust me if anything I pity their wives; sex with their patients is probably the absolute last thing on an most Ob/Gyn’s minds.
To the females out there who think otherwise, what do you think of female urologists? Does doing rectal exams, penile examinations for suspected seminomas, hernias, testicular torsion, priapism, peyronie’s disease, balanitis, syphilis and other penile related problems for mostly 60+ year old males turn you on? Do you think if you saw a female urologist you’d think “damn she must be a whore”?
I am currently a medical resident in surgery if it makes a difference but have respect for all medical professionals regardless of field.
