I've never been to a male gynecologist.
Nor do I really care to because I've had some pretty complex issues and when they're sticking a giant electric freezing wand on my cervix, I want someone who has the potential to know what that feels like. Or that has gone through the hormonal effects of bc.
I've had numerous GPs that were male that completely brushed off some of my concerns that were related to "female issues".
I've done a lot of research before going to any of the GYNs I've chosen because of the complex nature of my weird body at times.
I've been lucky to find empathetic, skilled and personable physicians for the past 18 years. And they've all been women.
Actually, after the last jerk-off that argued with me about an antibiotic that had horrible side effect potential and would knock my BC effectiveness down with a quickness, I'm looking at changing my PCP to a competent, intelligent female, too.
In my experience, it's just been a better... well, experience... with female physicians.
