Alright - I know this isn't the argument, but I just had to say a quick "hell yeah"!
Now, my two bits - In my experience, actually, I've always had more sympathy from male gynos. There have been several times that I've been in the doctor's office for severe pain, and the female gynos I've seen have just been rather mean towards me. I'm not by any means discounting female gynos, I'm just saying I've not had many good experiences with them. But . . . meh, maybe next time will be better.
As far as the pain goes, it's variable, man. Have her take a couple tylenols or ibuprofen before hand, and give her lots of love and reassurance. Wait for her in the waiting room, and pamper her a bit afterward. It might not phase her one bit. It just all depends on the person
And kudos for being a caring SO.
And as far as all you young ones not going to the gyno - GO GO GO!!! Seriously, not to scare you, but there are all sorts of things that they check for that symptoms just don't show up until later stages.
