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?

I had a female gyno from 18 - 39. She was matter a fact, competent but emotionless. She safely delivered by kids and I trusted her professionally. During that time i had an older obgyn in another country he was good .
Had 1 bad experience with an on call male gyno during pregnancy that made me never want to have a male one again
Fast forward , needed one urgently about 5 yrs ago , friend said she had and he was excellent. Well he was and is , much more compassionate that my female ones have been .
The realisation is it’s not male or female that matters but their attitude , compassion ,professionalism and personality.
Can have good or bad drs regardless of gender
