Still, listen to the women here. They know stuff about this. Sitting in the waiting room won't kill you, and she might appreciate that later. BTDT, etcetera.
OTOH, went in with a (married!) female friend once when she went in for a checkup (not a GYN checkup) and was kinda startled by the questions they get which we, as guys, wouldn't think of. They be the women, with parts we don't have. Leave it be. Go in next time if she wants, maybe. Remember that she doesn't know what kind of questions she'll be asked either. Or let her know ahead of time that you're okay with leaving if she decides she wants you to before or during the exam.
My Dad used to be an OB/GYN. He switched specialty to become a shrink. That should give you an idea of how some doctors "see" this.
