Apparently, she did rectal exams during check-up appointments without any explanation or warning. “I went to my usual medical group for my annual pelvic exam, so I thought I knew what to expect-but I had a different doctor. I was so young, and it wasn't really a question since Charlie had already taken up residence on my shoes, so I sort of nodded. I'm in a gown, feet in stirrups, when she breezes in and cheerfully asks, ‘Mind if Charlie joins us?’ I look down, and Charlie is her fluffy white dog. “I was 18, and my doctor was out of the office, so I went to the other woman doctor in the practice. I was single with no partners but wanted an IUD so I could work in the developing world without worrying about birth control access.” - Christina E. “When I first tried to get an IUD five years ago, the gyno I went to had never heard the acronym STI and said he couldn't give me an IUD because of my ‘transient’ lifestyle.

Warn a girl before you start punching her in the cervix!” - Christina T. My new gyno is great-except for the surprise colposcopy I had to have at my last visit. She was also my mom's gyno and started every visit by asking me if I was ‘behaving.’ I'm pretty sure she also asked my mom if I was ‘behaving.’ My mom says that was all harmless, but I see someone else now.
