Introduction: For the vast majority of female friends, when there are discomfort issues on their bodies, they will choose to go to the nearest hospital for gynecological examinations. However, many women are particularly worried about one thing, which is the fear of encountering male doctors during gynecological examinations. This not only makes them feel a bit awkward but also causes some conflicts.
In fact, through gynecological examinations, you can have a clearer understanding of your physical condition, and effectively prevent minor issues from turning into major problems. Most women prefer to choose female doctors for gynecological examinations, but in many cases, they may not be able to choose a female doctor and end up with a male doctor.
According to data from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), in 2017, the proportion of male obstetricians and gynecologists in the U.S. was approximately 43%.
At the same time, according to the statistics in the “Chinese Health Statistics Yearbook 2017,” it shows that in our country’s maternal and child health care institutions, male practitioners account for 26.3%, while the nationwide ratio of male to female practitioners is 55.2% and 44.8% respectively.
From the above data, we can see that whether it’s in gynecology abroad or domestically, the proportion of male doctors is still very significant. This data confirms that male doctors have become an indispensable and important part of the gynecological industry.
Choose the right examination date
During menstruation, you can check hormone levels and basic ovarian function. For routine examinations in other aspects, it is generally recommended to have them done on the 5th to 7th day after menstruation. If menstruation has not completely ended, it can be delayed for 1-2 days.
Avoid using medication
Do not use external medications in the three days before the gynecological examination, as this may interfere with the test results.
Pay attention to dressing
On the day of the examination, pay attention to your dressing. It is best to wear comfortable clothes to facilitate changing.
