[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I third the suggestion to go to a midwife! While you will find many very sensitive GYNs, midwives are truly trained in bedside manner. You will be able to call her by her first name, tell her how uncomfortable you are, and ask her to things in whatever order makes you most comfortable. I highly recommend all the midwives that practice in the rockville location of midwifery care associates![/quote] Add me to the chorus of recommending midwives. I love the MCA/rockville group, and now see them for GYN care after the birth of my child. At the very least, I would seek out a female practitioner. I remember my first pelvic exam/PAP smear. I was 18, it was our family's male GP. It did not hurt, but I was very uncomfortable. I started seeing a woman doctor in the practice after that, and I was much, much, much more comfortable with her.[/quote]
