Which gynecologist would you prefer?

as a woman, every one prefers a female. not because they are more competent or they have extra super natural powers. only because of the fact that the patient is at ease. she feels relaxed. they are at ease...

I have had both, I does not matter to me at all. I am not sure my new female one is better, in fact the ones before were more in agreeement with me than she is. But they all have been very professional.

My regular gyno was a woman, but after it was found that I had cancer a few years ago, she sent me to a male gynecologist/oncologist (just for women's type cancers.) If it wasn't for him I would probably be a statistic. There was never one moment that I felt uncomfortable with the exams or talking with him. It's his job, and I still have to see him for check-ups. Even though it's not a woman, I feel he really attempts to understand, and since he only takes care of women, I think he's dealt with enough women that he understands better than most.

i don't really mind either way as long as they're good. right now mine is female, but i've seen a male before. every time they examine you they're required by law to have a female nurse inside the room with you, at least here they do. when i was pregnant, i had a female examine me, but my actual OBGYN was male and he just checked in and delivered my babies. he was very good about it though since i didn't tear or have to get cut. i would feel more comfortable with a female giving me my paps though, but thats just common for us. either way, it doesn't feel good when they do it.

I had seen both Female and Male ObGyns prior to getting pregnant. Once I was pregnant I really wanted a female doc. I found one and saw her, and the other doctors in the practice, throughout my 1st pregnancy but I didn't really care for her personality, she just really didn't seem to take any interest in her patients, or maybe she just didn't with me. The other female in the practice was the one who actually delivered my son. The second time around I went to the same practice and throughout my "rotations" found I really liked one of the male docs. He made me feel extremely comfortable and I felt I could discuss anything with him. He actually delivered my daughter and I have continued to see him as my primary ObGyn.

It doesn't matter for me as long as they don't hurt me down there. However, I prefer not to have an older female gynecologist. One who looks like she is about my grandmas age. I find that the older ladies like to preach to you too much and that irritates the mess out of me. my gyn is male. He is very gentle when he goes down there. ( I don't mean for that statemnet to sound kinky). I have been through about 4 or 5 gyn doctors until i found one i was comfortable with.

Hi pinky, I prefer to go to a female gynecologist, as I much feel comfortable. I never been in male gynecologist and if I have no choice I wouldn't mind if its male or female. The last time I been in gynecologist was two years ago and that was in our country. Thanks!

I prefer it to be female, I know OB are professional even if they are guys but I think my hubby would not like it if my Ob is guy. My Ob is very kind and very good. In fact when I had my second son and we were like two hours away from her clinic I still travel to consult to her and still gave birth at the hospital she is in.

I prefer female gynos. I had a male gyno before when I was a little younger, and I didn't think much of it. When I got pregnant, I wanted a female ob, but I ended up getting a male. Since I moved, I went ahead a got a female ob. I like that she's female. It just makes me feel more comfy. If you see a woman dr. about your issues, they just seem to understand better. I guess because we have the same parts. lol. Male ob/gyn's of creep me out. Like what makes them decide to choose this as their profession?? I don't know...I think I'll be sticking with female dr. from here on out.

Hi pinkytabor For the past 5 years I have had a make gyno and yes it was uncomfortable at 1st but 7 months later when i was deliverying my 1st child I didnt care if a ape was my gyno I have figured out that yes a female may6 understand you better but they all know the same thing about your health no a male doctor may not know the feelings when it comes to that area but there still going to treat you like a female doc would

I been with my first geny for 2 years only, she was our neighboor but left for Australia .Before leaving she recommend me to her another fellow female also. 10 years already im under her handling. But i could share how it looks and how it feel when your have gyno. During my first delivery , the very time i was about to labor in the hospital, it happened my gyne was in a conference. I was admitted around 7 in the evening. The doctor on duty after talking my gyne thru phone, said: your gyne will be here tomorrow, dont worry she advised me to monitor you or else she will emergency be here depends on how much CM you are. That very right moment i had IE. My eyes get huge seeing his big hands wearing gloves. i wanna go home... grasped my breath, hold tightly the nurse hands who was assisting him. After said, 3 cm. i was ferried again to my room. After few hours nurse woke me and said have an IE again, i pretend i wanna get inside the toilet and loose and standby there for few minutes just for an escape. Another advise again after another 2 hours, i instruct my husband not to wake, as i was very exhausted and sleep. That very morning, after having fix my self, walk around the lobbies of maternity wings area. We hide and seek with the male doctor on duty. At noontime, another shift doctor came, this time i was thankful, shes female and im at ease with her. She took care of me before my ob-gyne arrived. Happy my lotting.

I've had a female ob-gyne for the past 4 years and I wouldn't want it any other way. Like the others, I would not be comfortable with a male gyne. I mean, I can't imagine a guy other than my husband touching or probing my private part. :-)

I always went to a female gyno because the thought of a man working in that region terrified me. Until I moved and had to go to a male gyno. I have now had three female and two male gynos and I have to say I much prefer males. They seem to be much gentler and they also seem to listen better. The females that I've seen have all been a little rough and didn't really seem to care whether they were hurting me or making me uncomfortable. Men just seem to have a much healthier respect for female anatomy than do women gynecologists. I will never ever go to a woman again unless she is extremely well recommended.
