What Going to the Gynecologist Is Like by Karina Farek.
Note to Med Students: Please never refer to a speculum as a “Cold, can-opening dildo” to your patients.
Note to patients: we *really* don’t care what your pubic hair situation is. Really.
It’s amazing how fast seeing a bunch of vaginas becomes normal. just chill. Doctors and nurses aren’t judging you.
Gynecologists won’t judge you on vag aesthetics, but PLEASE make sure you follow the first step and clean all that business before your appointment. My aunt has been an ob-gyn for years now and she’ll straight up send her patients home if any of them come in with something that looks and smells like a harbor of dead fish because they didn’t bother to take a shower before showing up. It’s just plain rude. (Of course if you have an infection or something that causes unnatural discharge/smell, then that’ll be a different story). You can’t go to an auto shop to get your parts checked out and expect the mechanic to properly do their job if there’s a bunch of shit under the hood. So please just take 15 minutes to shower before your appointment – use soap, get creative with your loofah, keep going until you reach Narnia – I don’t care how you do it. It’s a simple gesture that gynecologists everywhere will appreciate!
