Having a female doctor is extremely uncomfortable for them.

yes i have had the must have a chaperone scenario too. Female doctor refused to give prostate examination said it had to be a male colleague. Fair enough so booked an appointment with a male colleague. Come the day, he said had to have a chaperone - looked for one and only female chaperone available. Did I mind a female chaperone - no but that being so, couldn't I have had the examination 3 weeks earlier with the female GP??

We live in a sometimes crazy politically correct world ...

the stranger thing is some 2 years later had further examination different female GP in the same practice, was I okay with her doing the examination now rather than getting me back in the surgery - yes - did I want a chaperone - no OK well we can go straight ahead then !!!

My primary care doc is female, and I will see her Monday. It's fine with me and seems to be fine with her. I don't see it as being different from my wife's Ob/Gyn docs being mostly being male.

When I was a young teen, getting a physical... a female doctor had to check for testicular cancer.

When she touched them... young teen hormones... the horse suddenly uncontrollably jump and landed smack hard on her wrist/forearm... and everyone was extremely uncomfortable...

She finished the check... then stepped out, so let me get re-dressed and I never saw her again, as a male took over the remainder of the visit.

I completely understand her reaction... I just hope she understood that it was 100% involuntary, and I, as a young teen, had zero control of the hormone reactions at that time, as they were overloading and that was new to me then...

My doctor is male.
When an intimate examination is necessary he asks one of the nurses to be present.
The first time it occurred, I told him that it was not necessary but he insisted. I think they are afraid of accusations or maybe it is an insurance requirement.

when they take my blood each year, i try my best not to make a deal out of the physical contact. some of them are lovely though. 🥺

I love female doctors. One time a doctor was kneeling infront of me while I was completely naked. She asked me if I had issues getting erections. I said no. But in my head I was thinking, stay down there and you’re going to find out! 😂😂😂

I had a woman doctor who wanted to check my prostate. I told her she would have to say she loved me first. Didn't even get a smile.

@pancakeslam 🤔to any doctor i think this is not the case the human anatomy is there field of expertise . i think being a male patient being examined by a female doctor may be more of an issue would be more humiliating lol 😆

ALL my doctors are women
