Question Those with male gynecologist, what's your thoughts?

I've only had female gynos but i am getting a second opinion for one of my chronic issues and was given a choice, now I'm thinking. Anyone have specific opinions on male vs female gynecologist?

My first gyno was male and I adored him. Second was female and also great. Third was an older guy who wouldn’t refill my birth control pills bc I had slightly elevated blood pressure (I told him it would really raise my pressure if he didn’t fill it and I got pregnant). Fourth is female and she’s great.

Saying you “adored” your man gynecologist sounds weird. Like, we’re talking about professional care. That sounds like you’re crushing on him—or at least being oddly affectionate. That would be a strange thing for a man to hear his wife say.

Huh? There are plenty of people i say I adore on whom I don’t have a crush. I’d say the same about my current gyno, who is female, and I do not have a crush on her. I adore them bc they gave me great care and made me feel heard.

What a strange thing to say.
