When it comes to gynecological examinations, some women will voluntarily skip such items during the annual physical examination, while others are deeply disgusted with such examinations.
If you search the Internet [gynecological examination is a what experience], you will see the answer:
Gynecological examination is a nightmare for many women.
The gynecologic examination table has become the bed that many women do not want to lie on.
Why is this?
[Special Shame, Insecurity.]
Ms. A:
There are really a lot of people in the women’s examination department of some hospitals. The doctor has just finished checking one and will let you in immediately. He pointed to the open space and [took off his pants].
However, the former person may not have lifted his pants yet.
Taking off my clothes in front of the doctor sometimes makes me embarrassed and the doctor embarrassed.
Finally, you will lie naked on the examination table with your legs set up and both sides open to the doctor.
This kind of posture has already made people very uneasy. The department door will not be closed yet. There will always be some people poking their heads at the door. The examination desk will only pull a thin curtain and have no sense of security.
During the examination, not only did you suffer from body pain, but you also had to be on tenterhooks at any time. You were afraid that the curtain would suddenly be lifted and you would show yourself in public. You felt like you were on a tuba in a public toilet without a way, and you were jittery.
I was very nervous when I told the doctor, but Ta replied impatiently:
If you don’t do it, return the number.
[Doctors even sneer at me…]
Ms. B:
Once I consulted on gynecological diseases in the school hospital, and every word of the doctor was very vitriolic, such as [such a young girl needs to see gynecology? ], satirize my usual hygiene problems, make me think I am her natural enemy.
Another time after the women’s examination in the hospital, I asked the cause of vaginitis, but the doctor asked me with disdain:
Haven’t you thought about it yourself?
It seems that I made a big mistake when I came to do the gynecological examination.
Once over the age of 20, women may suffer from gynecological diseases, which should not be stigmatized.
The point is, why do some doctors who should have understood this fact still say some puzzling things to me?
[The pain is barely tolerable, but the bad attitude is really unbearable.]
Ms. C:
The first time I had a gynecological examination, I, an adult in my twenties, cried in the clinic.
At that time, after lying down, I felt that I was not ready yet. The doctor immediately brought the instrument over and felt that it was hard to poke it in. It was very dry and extremely painful! It made me want to jump out of bed and run immediately.
The doctor was fierce and impatient, and his rough movements on his hands did not stop. He scolded you on his mouth:
Nervous what? Relax! Do you want to do it?
Is it that painful?
Lower your ass! What’s up so high?
I feel really humiliated and shed tears while hurting, just like people who have been raped but cannot resist. The psychological shadow is too great.
From then on, I hated this examination from the bottom of my heart and hoped that I was a man from the bottom of my heart.
Please respect the examinees and women.
Psychological shame, physical pain, coupled with the tension brought about by the improper attitude of some doctors, make many women have the psychology of evading gynecological examination.
They delayed the time for the women’s examination or even did not do it at all.
Doctors are very busy and under great pressure, which is understandable to everyone, but it is absolutely impossible to completely ignore or even hurt the emotions of patients because of this.
To say that the flow of patients is large and the work intensity of doctors is high, are the doctors in Peking Union Medical College Hospital always busy enough? However, this does not hinder their humanistic care in medical treatment.
For example, Dr. Zhang Yu, a well-known expert from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, called for attention to the patient experience in gynecological examination as early as 2015 in his book < < Only Doctors Know 3 > >:
Noisy and unprivate medical environment, doctor’s professional arrogance, indecent yelling or simple and crude vaginal examination causing pain will all lead to psychological disorders and resistance of patients.
Perhaps it is just an unpleasant medical experience, which will make women fear maternity hospitals, obstetrics and gynecology, and vaginal examination for life. The tragedy of delayed diagnosis and treatment caused by this is not sensational.
The comfort of language, the softness of movements and the professional and precise operation, these details in the medical process, reflect the doctors’ most meticulous and warm care for the same kind at the beginning of medicine.
Dr. Gong Xiaoming, a well-known free practitioner of obstetrics and gynecology, also believes that:
From the moment the patient decided to have an examination, he had already chosen to face up to embarrassment and fear and to believe us.
As doctors, they should be helped with professional operation and correct attitude.
In fact, it is only necessary to be gentle, understand their uneasiness, and don’t use harsh words against them. This does not require our doctors to do more what.
After all, we all have mothers and wives, and we don’t want them to be subjected to rough women’s tests.
However, the words and deeds of some gynecologists have failed to live up to the trust of patients.
They paid for their health and handed over their trust, but they did not get the respect they deserved.
It is also unfair to doctors who are willing to understand patients.
Regular gynecological examination is a very good thing for women and is also a very necessary thing to do.
But we want to tell every woman:
- During a gynecologic examination, every woman has the right to let others out of the clinic. During a vaginal examination, every woman has the right to remind her doctor to use lubricant. When her clothes are disheveled, every woman has the right to refuse others to enter the clinic.
The physical discomfort is painful enough, and the examination cannot add to the pain.
Every woman should enjoy a more tender and friendly gynecological examination.
