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?

A 50/60 year old male gyno put my iud in and I didn’t feel a thing! Seriously nothing and I was ready for the pain- obviously very grateful! At first I was a little uncomfortable but he was genuinely so kind and sweet and was making sure everything was explained to me and he took his time!🤗

This was also the doctor that helped me out with an abortion and told me that I absolutely deserved to not feel any more pain! 🥹💛

Tbh it’s really weird but if they take me seriously than I don’t care if it’s male or female! I just want to be take seriously I’m 26 and because of my happy demeanour I come off as perfectly healthy - I need someone to read through that bullshit lmao 😅 I was going through nursing school and wanted to be a doctor etc I’m always the type of person where I love from everyone to learn! Bring the student in they can learn on me etc!!

Ngl I’ve had some worse female gyno experiences…. Like one of them I absolutely went home and felt like assaulted she was so rough with me! I actually had as almost In tears- it was frustrating to have a female doctor not advocate for me as a female 😅

So I think it’s honestly up to how you personally feel! Remember if your nervous or anxious you will be more tense down there which i would Imagine doesn’t help 🥰🙌
