[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woman here - maybe he's just embarrassed. I remember being told I would have to have a pelvic exam once I got my period, which resulted in me lying to the doctor about getting my period until I was 17 when I had a huge ovarian cyst that required an OB exam. I don't even know why I was so embarrassed but my doctor was male and I remember feeling much better about having the female OB do the exam. I think you should tell him that certain things are uncomfortable and embarrassing but need to be done to make sure we are physically okay. And then ask him if there's anything he would like that could make it easier such as a different dr, maybe your husband being there instead of you (though telling him go man up may have alienated him ...).[/quote] Okay, that is weird. Why would you need a pelvic exam just because you had a period?[/quote]
