Male Doctor?
Male Gyanaeocologist?
Some queries that may arise in your mind
Query 1 - Examine by Male Doctor
I went to a male gynocologist during my 3
months' pregnancy. After stethoscope checking and measuring blood
pressure doctor asked me to
loose my top. He then lifted my bra and checked with
stethoscope over my breasts and then after he checked my breasts
by pressing here and there for a while. He did this for both
of her breasts. I lied silently.
Did doctor was having fun with my body parts? What was the
reason or logic to check my breasts? Does checking breasts in such way
really concerned with pregnancy? I feel there was no reason
why he should check anyone's breasts so closely.
Answer
Yes,
during pregnance a gynecologist will feel breasts for any suspicious
lumps. Also he might need to stretch or position the skin of breasts to
use stethoscope properly.
Still, on moral and modesty ground if
a doctor had to put his hand in your bra he should say 'sorry' first,
or he should say 'I need to put the stethoscope lower down - excuse me'
or something like that.
So the female could be more normal and
ready for the necessity of such checkup as most of the common person do
not about such checkups.
Query 2 - Examine by Male Doctor
Why does the gynecologist pushes his finger in my buttocks? Is this normal? I felt there is no reason why he insert finger there if i am pregnant. I am totally confused whether doctor was honest or not to his profession here.
Answer
During
a pelvic exam and pap smear doctor does a rectal exam to be able to
feel the ovaries better. It can sometimes be virtually impossible to
feel the ovaries so doing a rectal exam can help significantly.
Or
if he felt a lump when he was giving you an internal checkup then he
would check it out to see if it was compacted faeces, rather than a
lump in your vagina. It may sound disgusting but better to be safe than
sorry and its his job
They also check to see if there is blood in
the stool , because if there is their might be a dietary problem that
needs to be addressed as well.
