Reasons For Choosing Female GYN And How To Look For One

By Melissa Stewart


Gynecology is the practice in medicine that deals with female reproductive health which involves breasts, ovaries, uterus and vagina. Gynecologists are also mostly obstetricians who specialize in taking care of pregnant women and after they have just given birth. They are called ob-gyn and were trained to do all these things, including delivering of babies.

They deal with many important health issues such as birth control, menopause and childbirth as well as performing surgery to urinary tract or pelvic organ problems, screening for cancer and treating for infections. Most patients get nervous and embarrassed in allowing doctors to look at their private parts which is the reason they prefer a female GYN Aurora. You could select one by finding them yourself.

Choosing one yourself having the gender you like is possible though other hospitals will not encourage a practice like this. They would provide you one without gender bias but based on their availability when they are needed. That is why searching for one having their own clinic in advance is important to be sure to have a female doctor.

Gender does not matter with the capabilities, knowledge and skills of these physicians because they work professionally for their specialization. This means sexual intent will not be there as well as malice in giving you treatment or doing the check up from a male doctor that is straight. Others though abuse this chance but if they are caught, their license is revoked.

Another reason for patients to prefer women doctors is due to their religion, specially those which do not allow other men aside from their husband to see their naked body. This is something that should be respected and considered when assigning them a physician. Although if the situation is an emergency, gender does not matter.

Teenage girls or young women that have not yet given birth prefer also women doctors due to being unfamiliar with those from the opposite gender than theirs. This is true specially for teenage girls that are not confident with their body particularly during this stage where changes are happening. They would want someone who can relate and explain these changes to them.

If you want an ob-gyn, start through finding one by requesting for several recommendations from your primary care provider, friends and family members. Doing so assures you of these specialists being trustworthy because they are recommended by them. And you have someone to ask when you want to know what they had experienced with them.

Research on them to know the institution they were educated and trained for this specialty including how long they have started this practice. Read testimonials from other patients and get ideas on what you can expect from your sessions. Check if they received any complaints or have been charged with a medical malpractice before.

Set an appointment to meet them before finalizing your decision on who to choose and ask them some questions. This includes if your health insurance is accepted, and their stand on reproductive issues such as birth control. Ask them which hospital they have admitting privileges if ever it would become necessary.
