Something just ain't right here...

[Puddles]

Today a man fondled my boobs, had his fingers in my vagina, poked at my cervix, asked me for some investment advice in my business and when I left I had to pay HIM $250.

Annual GYN check-ups aren't covered by my insurance so I can't even get the money back! I am changing insurance companies next month though...next year's exam will be covered in full.

This year they offered an extra exam during the pap smear. I'm gonna post a link to it so you can check it out. My g/f just had hers done and pre-cancerous cells were found so she's having surgery for it soon. Thank goodness she went in for her annual. I hope all the ladies here get their annual exams done. Guys, encourage the women in your lives to get theirs done too, it can save their life. PapSure

The STD HPV is the leading cause for cervical cancer and something like 70% of the sexually active adult population (male and female) have had it and don't know it since there are usually no symptoms. It poses no known risks for men, but for women it often leads to cervical cancer after the age of 40. Condoms do not really protect from the virus as it lives on the skin.

I loathe doing this ... but it is such a necessity among women.

At least you don't have to go to the proctologist.

What a horrible profession proctology would be. No chance for career advancements...you start at the bottom and stay there.

Well actually....we all need regular colon cancer screening at the age of 50...i.e. flexible sigmoidoscopy and/or colonoscopy, especially if there is a noted family history

Been there and done that. The doc gave me anestessia for the procedure and I have a high tollerance so of course I woke up. I was pretty loopy though and started talking to him, then I was enjoying watching the tv that showed what the camera was seeing and I liked it...all pretty and pink inside. LOL I also woke up in the middle of surgery to repair the ulner nerve in my arm and to remove a melanoma from my back. Next time I have surgery they better knock me out good!

I've been with the same GYN since I found out I was pregnant with my daughter 15 yrs. ago so we have a good rapor. He's handsome too so that helps make it easier. My first doctor in NY was an older man, not attractive, and I never felt comfortable going in for exams with him.

I went to a new dentist the other day as my dental ins had changed....good lord ... He was HOT! He was examining me and I was praying to god he wouldnt give me any gas or I probably would've told him everything on my mind and done all kinds of stuff to him

I'm quite the opposite when it comes to my GYN care...I want a female.

[Puddles]

I went to a female once and she was mean and she was rough during the examination. Never again.

This doctor just makes me at ease. I slapped him once though for a good reason. I was in my 6th month of pregnancy and had been gaining quite a bit of weight at each visit, well he has me get on the scale and it showed a 20 lb gain from the visit before, I turned to say something to him and I noticed he had his foot on the scale. My hand went up very quickly. LOL

No...and he never had his cervix swabbed and poked, his breasts squished flat like pancakes for mamograms, never bled for a week straight out of his most sensitive area, and never gave birth. Damn, the things we endure!

However, I'm glad I'm a woman!
