Drew Scott20 said:You were very critical of your professor, Mr. Marušić, without actually providing any arguments to support your posts. Now you're trying to kick me off a thread about gynecologists—a topic Professor Marušić even detailed specifically in his book. I am staying on topic and even using examples, yet you seem determined to tell us all that you're "just" a med student because clearly, Professor Marušić held a grudge against you.
I won't let you force me off-topic, just as neither you nor anyone else can force me to move away from what I'm discussing.

Anyway, back to gynecology...
In my opinion, female gynecologists tend to be more attentive than their male colleagues, though they can also be quite blunt—especially if they are working alongside men or feel the need to prove themselves. I once experienced a very "heavy-handed" doctor at an American maternity ward.
Based on my own experience, for every five male gynecologists, you might find one truly kind and careful soul. Bedside manner is vital, though perhaps not the single most important factor. However, there was recently a news story about a certain gynecologist whom women absolutely raved about everywhere they went—a total charmer. In reality, he was a complete failure professionally. The good ones always surface eventually, sooner or later.

Which one? Don't tell me it's mine.😲😲.

Some people say it’s actually more toxic than nicotine. For me, that means drinking coffee and tea totally plain—no sugar, no artificial sweeteners—and ditching sodas entirely. 2. Hit the gym consistently, whether it's lifting heavy or getting some cardio in. 3. Eat plenty of fruits and veggies, ideally organic stuff from a local farmer's market to avoid pesticides. 4. Look up Rino Horn online; it's a method for rinsing your sinuses with warm salt water once or twice a day. 5. Get your Vitamin D naturally through controlled sun exposure, then during the winter, load up on foods like peanuts that have it, or just fly down to a warmer state if you can afford it 🙂 Cheers!

Melissa James70 said:From what I've heard, medical school in America is so competitive that students barely get a choice. They aren't picking their specialties; they're just lucky to land one. I don't have hard data, but everyone I know says the same thing.
In general, being a doctor is... well, it's a great career. But regardless of the specialty you choose, very few of them are glamorous or pleasant. And don't even get me started on the responsibility. Let's look at the options: dermatology means staring at rashes, fungi, acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis all day. Surgery means blood, cutting, and organs. Psychiatry involves dealing with depression, misery, psychopathy, schizophrenia, and suicidal patients. Oncology is cancer and death. Trauma is blood, stress, and mortality. Etc., etc.
If you're a physician, you spend your entire day interacting with sick people, which is rarely a light or breezy experience.

Jack Lopez63 said:Listen, folks, I’m telling you—homemade calendula oil that’s less than eighteen months old is hands down the best remedy for hemorrhoids. All those expensive ointments you find at the drugstore? They're nothing but a total rip-off.

Grace Martinez56 said:Thanks for the advice. I gave that a shot, but it feels like the largest one—the one heading toward my groin—didn't actually come out from the inside. I've got a growth on my skin..:

Grace Martinez56 said:I'm heading out to pick up some Pilexa tomorrow. I've heard several people recommending them, even though you weren't exactly a fan. Clearly, we don't all react the same way to things. I think I'll stick to the conservative methods first.
Did I mention that I'm declaring total war on them? ☕

Charles Morris11 said:I see some people mentioning that their hemorrhoids keep coming back after physical exertion. Does that mean those prone to them should just quit the gym entirely? Should we all just give up on working out altogether?

redpilot37 said:Why don't you head to the OB-GYN? Twenty-one days is just a little too soon.☕

Casey Torres7 I have a question too. Is it normal for a cycle to last three weeks? For the last three months, my period has come every 20 days or so. I know I need to see a gynecologist, but I just can't get an appointment right now. Could stress be causing this? Has anyone else dealt with something similar?

I would report everything anonymously to the clinic's management. Since it’s a private facility, the owner has a vested interest in ensuring staff treat patients properly. It’s not a government hospital where they can just act however they want...

Amy Kelly said:That’s been my reality for years.

I think it’s all hormonal. During my PMS, I turn into a total Doberman.

I can sniff out odors—and even subtle scents—from dozens or hundreds of yards away.😂
During pregnancy, it’s even more intense. There's also that food aversion; it's not just about the eating itself, but the anticipation of it.
Though, you might be dealing with other symptoms too. 😉

Nicole Barrett69 said:I underwent SRS, and then a few days later, things went wrong during my checkup.

Nicole Barrett69 said:Clearly, you haven't experienced a doctor accidentally pinching your clitoris with forceps yet...🙂 🙂>

Taylor Patel7 said:Oh man! Better if we hadn't.😲

Honestly, gender doesn't matter to me; it’s all about professionalism. I have a female doctor now, and she is absolutely fantastic. She is so attentive and gentle, and she explains everything to me like I'm the last person on Earth. Truly a five-star experience!

I actually had an experience myself (back when I was hospitalized) where a young resident kept leaning in while the attending physician was examining me. He would glance down, then look me straight in the eyes and smile.😲 It was just... gross. I just wanted to go home. My first thought was even "did I shave properly?" Generally, I haven't had great luck with male gynecologists (they are either too flirtatious or looking at my lady parts with the wrong intentions), but I'm still trying to stay unbiased. Hopefully, a good one comes along soon.🤣

And you might not believe this, but a guy once... used his mouth on a close friend of mine during an exam. She never went back, and she really should have filed a complaint, but she didn't. Just a heads-up for anyone considering going there: watch out for Dr. Colak.🙂

I have a small chest, and honestly, it makes me feel self-conscious. I just feel inferior when a guy notices how small I am—it’s like I immediately lose my appeal.

rapidcrane42: Just got out of the hospital... I came in with a broken ankle, stayed 6 days, and had surgery. As soon as I arrived, they gave me a total in dollars for what I’d owe. Basically, the injury cost this much—covering both the surgery and all the meds used until discharge. $645. I didn't have supplemental insurance. Total headache.

Angela Robinson said:It felt totally fine to me having them examine them. I mean, that’s what the doctor is there for, and it's literally their whole job all day long.🤷 My only issue was the discomfort during the palpation; halfway through, I was honestly on the verge of gagging.😁

Angela Robinson said:I honestly don't get it. How is showing some skin or being intimate more shameful than just lying there like an animal while someone shoves some disgusting piece of metal inside you? 😁 😁 🤷
