Would you allow your male significant other present at your gynecological exam?

1. Would you allow your male significate other to be present during your full gynecology exam?

2. Have you allowed your male significate other to be present during your full gynecology exam?

Yes I would and I have. Not every time and more for moral support than anything else so it's been to exams where they might find something. He's been to: a culposcopy, a trans-vag ultrasound, a cystoscopy, and a few regular exams.

Probably not - I honestly don’t know what sort of situation or circumstance I would want a partner to join me for a gyn exam. It’s not necessarily that the thought of it makes ME uncomfortable - at least with all the partners I’ve had in my life, it seems like an incredibly uncomfortable situation and position to put THEM in. Perhaps if it was a really critical, serious health situation… But not for any regular, run of the mill medical situation.

So no. I’ve never allowed or invited it.

I see no reason for his presence, but if there were one, I'd be fine with it. He's seen everything I've got a million times. The gynecologist's exam is nothing compared to childbirth.

For an annual visit I would prefer he not be there. But I wouldn’t use that as a rule. There are exceptions. He’s been there for some things.

For any sort of problem visit I want him to come with me.

I’m not really sure why in my mind there is a split between preventative and problem visits.

I have I like it when he goes. It helps me calm down. It is a very private exam I do not like going there alone.

Many of my girlfriends have asked me to please come with them. When im there i try to stay in the waiting room but everyone asked me to come in the Exam room.

Annual checkup - no, that is something I’d prefer to handle on my own. If I needed a more extensive procedure than I would probably want my partner to come for support.

My significant other has always been there with me. We were both so nervous about my first that we decided it'd be better if he came in with me. He's seen everything about me, so not like anything to hide, and I don't have any secrets from him that I'm telling to the doctor. He really likes watching the exams now, which honestly I find a little strange, but if it makes him happy, I'm fine with it too.

No. I hate the speculum. It hurt. Pressure and pinched. I needed to be alone

I would like my partner to come with me to all my appts.

Well yes. Not for usual exams ,no point for it. When I hve been having problems or for test results yes. He is there so is my girlfriend.

Saves me explaining things or having questions I am not able to answer come up.

M ex husband was present during my regular exams and I dont see a reason why not

I would enjoy being present if my significant other wants me with her!

It didn't make a difference to me if my ex husband was there or not. I was so focused on getting through the exam and him sitting at the chair by the wall did not affect anything.

I only wish she would bring he to her gyro appointments except I'd probable cream in my pants

My wife prefers that I go with her. I have gone to her gyn exams (and other types of exams) since the gyn exam she had after we started dating when she was 24. She is the one who brought the subject up and asked me to go with her.

My husband always goes with me. He likes to sit so he can see what the doctor is doing when I’m in the stirrups.

No way. Never. The worst thing on earth if he'd do so. He's also not open for any kind of fetish stuff.
