gynecologist
review response 08 |
how old are
you, and for how long have you been seeing your gynecologist?
|
|
I'm
18, been seeing her since i was oh say 14-15.
|
how did you
find your first gynecologist? did your mother talk to you about it; did
she take you to see hers?
|
|
My sister
told me about this clinic at a college and i went for birth control pills,
in order to recieve them i had to have an exam. I have been going there
ever since
|
do you feel
comfortable to ask questions about your body, what you are experiencing,
to discuss your sex-life?
|
|
Um. to
a certain extent but i think there will always be hesitation in the back
of my mind no matter who im talking to. I just tell her everything because
i know its in the best interest for me.
|
how often
do you see your gynecologist? what does a regular exam consist of?
|
|
Every time
i need new pills. About every ten months. Just cheching my breasts, and
a pelvic exam/pap smear. She always asks if i have any un-ordinary symptoms.
|
would you
recommend your gynecologist - why, or why not?
|
|
Um.. yes
to her, but not the clinic i see her at. She seems really understanding
and i think she doesnt judge you. She does what she can to help you any
ways possible
|
what are
all the factors that go into how you feel about your experience with
your gyno?
does the reception and nursing staff play a role?
is there good reading material in the waiting room?
|
|
Mostly
her attitude towards me. I also think its imparative that she be a good
listener and seem open to all concerns. Of course friendly and understanding
is also a must.
|
is there something more
you'd like to be getting from your gynecologist that you aren't?
|
|
The nurse/receptionist
that was first there was really great. She was like a mom to all the
girls who came in there. the last time i was there she left, which is
kinda sad. Now the people at the desk, do what they have to and thats
it.
|
have you been treated
for a disease or disorder? what was it? was it easily diagnosed? what
treatment was prescribed, and was it successful?
|
|
I was treated recently
for chlamydia. It was the worst experience of my life. I'm still feeling
uneasy about it and think im going to go back and get checked for PID
or tubal pregnancy, because i heard you can get that from it.
|
this conversation makes
me think....
|
|
I really need to think
about the partners i choose and practice safer sex. CONDOMS CONDOMS CONDOMS...
it almost makes me want to never do it again.
