Why is there no option for both?
I have been to both male and female obgyns and I have no problem with or preference for either sex. If anything, I have had better luck with male gynecologists because they are more apt to listen to me talk and explain their birth control recommendations for me in medical terms rather than personal preference (I had one female obgyn refuse to prescribe me a certain birth control pill because SHE had a bad experience with it). Of course, a female obgyn is more likely to understand a type/location of pain, but I am sometimes less comfortable during my exams because their touches are TOO gentle.
My doctors have never been less than professional with me.
