Ladies, what do you call the gynecologist?

Dr. Sally was her preference so that's what I used.

With me being a man, I have heard female exam from women but, I call the OBGYN Doctor The Ovary Check because my mom taught me a lot stuff about the female exam.

I call my gyn the "Vagina Doctor". It is much more fun to say.

I just say gynecologist.

My girlfriend just refers to her as the gynecologist.

I just say "my gynecologist."

I'm proud to call her my just "my gyno" it's more intimate for me.

I'm sure if I ever got married, I would have told my husband about going to a gynecologist. I only mentioned to my work that I had a doctor's appointment. I never told them what type of doctor.

I have never discussed or mentioned that I had a gynecology appointment with relatives, coworkers or friends and I never will. I'll probably only mention going to a gynecologist to another doctor or anonymously on this website.

My experience is that some women would never bring up the subject of a gynecological doctor's visit. Others have no problem discussing with other women were most intimate details of a visit to their gynecologist. It's about 50-50 I think. Out of 50% who would never bring this subject up themselves, most will engage in discussions with other women if someone else brings the subject up. Women I believe, overall will discuss far more intimate and detailed sexual topics among themselves than men discuss among themselves. I can do some examples: frequency of intercourse, where, when, contraception, sexual behavior of their husbands, periods, tampons, napkins etc. I doubt men would ever have a detailed conversation about the best brand of tampons to use.

I refer to my gynecologist as my gyno or twat Dr.

Easy: Frauenarzt

I'd go with @Liane. Gynäkologe would be considered extremely formal in German. You would use it on a job description or something like that. The term Frauenarzt is quiet common so. The ability to chain words together is a feature of the german language which comes in quiet handy for something like that. Not as impressive as in “Rindfleischettikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz” which is a real german word. A rather idiotic one and you never ever should use something like that. But it is totally valid and as in that case you could even use it to give a name to a law 😄 I guess we Germans are kinda crazy.

I've seen ladies in French forums say “gygy” but this sounds fairly childish.

One I remember hearing …. And I can’t even recall if it was a girlfriend or maybe even my mom (from an overheard conversation, not something I discussed with her!) … is Ob/Gyne, like one word, 4 syllables .. oh-bee-guy-knee.

Always thought it seemed a bit more casual than the whole “gynecologist” or reading off the letters, OBGYN - but not so playful as some of the others. IOW, kind of a happy medium…

I call her, "my gyno", like every other woman I know does.

Vagina miner ?

Vagina miner ?

@drgiggles,

Your suggestion made me laugh! ROTFLMFAO! Love it!

Karma/encouragement bump to you!

I haven’t gone to a doc who’s specifically a GYN in quite some time, so not sure how I would refer to an appointment with him/her in general conversation.

However, when I am speaking to people about an upcoming GYN exam, if I am not sharing frank details, I will often refer to said exam as a “chimney sweep.”

My wife says "the female doc" (even though she has been seeing a male gyn for the last 15 years) or "the OB" even though she last gave birth nearly 18 years ago.

I think she just has an aversion to saying the word "Gynecologist." I don't think I've ever heard her say that word.

Gyno for short or lady doctor

While speaking to her I address to her as Mam

Otherwise I refer to her as my gynec
