If you ask this question: Do you mind meeting a male doctor during a gynecological examination or prenatal check-up?
You will get completely different answers:
Mind: Male doctors make me more psychologically stressed; I am a very conservative person;
I don’t mind : When I gave birth to my child, I was unable to choose the gender of the doctor; most foreign obstetricians and gynecologists are male (Note: There are more and more female obstetricians and gynecologists abroad now); male doctors have better temperaments.
Mind: It is difficult to accept psychologically;
Don’t mind: I feel that male doctors have a broader vision, broader mind, and better communication.
1. What will male obstetrics and gynecology doctors experience?
During a consultation, a 24-year-old female patient came. As usual, I had her lie on the bed for routine check-ups. I carefully drew the curtains for her, "Come on, take off your pants and spread your legs!"
"Huh? What?!" The female patient stared at me suspiciously.
"Please take off one trouser leg!" I can only emphasize it again. Seeing this, the girl hesitantly and slowly took off her entire pair of pants! When I saw it at the time, I was really embarrassed. I made it very clear, it’s one trouser leg, not the whole pair of trousers!
Finally, she put on a pair of trouser legs, took off her underwear, and put her legs on the bracket. I guessed that this girl was undergoing a gynecological examination for the first time, so she was confused. So, I signaled her not to be nervous and just wait until I use a cotton swab to pick up a little leucorrhea secreted from the vaginal opening.
Unexpectedly, before my cotton swab could pick up the leucorrhea, she kept shouting: "Ah! It hurts! Ah -" and then she curled up. When she did this, I also broke out in a sweat.
After much effort and comforting her for a long time, she was willing to continue to open her legs, and finally the sample was successfully collected.
But when I opened the curtains and continued to sit back in my seat, I found a group of women watching inside and outside the door of the waiting room, all staring at me eagerly.
I kept my head down, filling out medical records and making orders. At this time, I heard patients talking about it, saying how inconvenient it is to have a male doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department!
I am truly unjust! Once I enter working mode, the female organs in my eyes are not much different from the models during the operation internship. Besides, I repeat the same inspection every day, and it is impossible to have any unhealthy thoughts.
2. Doctors do not distinguish between men and women
As a woman, when you go to see a gynecological doctor or have a prenatal check-up, if you meet a male doctor, you may be thinking of yourself. How to face the male doctor's private parts.
It is normal to have this kind of thinking, but it is actually unnecessary.
In the hospital, the sexual organ is one organ, just many organs. Outside the hospital, it is the secular world, and you can retain secular views; inside the hospital, it is the medical world, and organs are just anatomical terms, and they have medical significance. Of course, the hospital will also have rules to help you protect your privacy and dignity.
For doctors, those terms for sexual organs that are very taboo for most people, and those parts that are regarded as sensitive words on the Internet, are something that male obstetricians and gynecologists talk about every day. I know how many times to say and write the anatomical nouns every day, the same as big cakes and fried dough sticks (I'm sorry, I said it wrong, it may be really different. Male doctors who hear that there are a lot of big cakes and fried dough sticks will be excited!), It is a very neutral noun.
For male doctors of obstetrics and gynecology, these parts are ordinary anatomical parts, and these nouns are ordinary nouns. After going to work, many male obstetrics and gynecology doctors will automatically enter work mode, forget their gender, and automatically switch to the "third gender" state.
Therefore, in obstetrics and gynecology, there are many privacy and security protection measures. Don’t treat male doctors as men, and there will be no such embarrassment.
