I think I’ll get a male gyno this time, the drs I get never really listen to me. It’s weird having to repeat myself and still not being heard? I’ll say I’m not sexually active I’m not here for BC they’ll shove a pamphlet in my hand urging to get it.

My mom has had a male gyno her whole life, myself included. I had one female Dr but for some reason I just didn’t feel she wanted to help was pushing my appt too fast. So I think it’s just some people really care about their patients and are truly made for their specialty.

Which is crazy you’d think it’d be the other way around. Women looking out for women especially for something this super important 😕

Exactly!! From the friends I know who have seen male gynos tho, they’ve said it seems like they try to be more respectful and attentive BECAUSE they’re men and don’t fully “get” it. You’d think it 100% would be the other way around!!

a lot of male gynos are also huge creeps. i had to switch to a woman bc my last gyno (a man) wouldn’t talk about anything but how many kids i wanted even though i TOLD him i didn’t want any. when i asked to get put on birth control bc of my periods he tried to convince me not to do it, and a lot of my friends have had similar experiences with other male gynos. its def not universal that they’re all respectful or better than female providers

Def sucks that we have to think about choosing our gynos this carefully :/ it shouldn’t be this hard
