Nurse during gynecologic examination

There were few female receptionists but not nurses at the his office. One of the receptionists asked me to change into a gown then I went to see a male gynecologist. She helped me to get in an exam table with a disposable cover top of me and left the room. Basically I was with the male Dr for just two of us. He was very gentle and caring so I didn't mind at all!

@Emmma Please tell more details about your male gynecologist examination.

I don't think it's done in France. We try to keep health care affordable, and paying personnel to watch over other personnel is definitely not good for this.

Unfortunately, some male physicians have taken advantage of patients. There is currently a judicial inquiry about gynecologists in the Tenon hospital in Paris. I however don't know if a nurse present would have helped.

I have always had a nurse in the room with a male doctor while getting examined! She usually comes in and talks first about medicine if it’s been any changes! She tells me everything off and they would be back!

For the most part I am alone with the dr, but there have been occasions when the practice nurse has been in attendance.

I've had different experiences at different places. Usually with a female provider I have been alone, but not for having my IUD placed or for colposcopy. Those times there were other people there (like 5 people including a male medical student for my IUD) and one person for the colposcipies (mostly to keep me calm). The few times I have been examined in any way by a male doctor, 99% of the time there has been a chaperone if any removal of clothing is going to happen.

There is always a medical assistant during pelvic examination in the room. This was so even during training too.

My ex gf has always told me about her exams going way back to when we were together and still now. She never really mentioned a nurse being there so I asked how much has a nurse been there assisting the Dr. She said it was just her and her Dr about 70% of the time. She prefers there to be no nurse, but since she's a nurse herself she understands if there is one. All her obgyns except 2 have been male and she's much more comfortable when it is just her and him. When she was able to turn down a chaperone she always has

I never went to a male gynecologist but here in germany it is your right as a woman to ask for a female assistant being there, it is not a must but your right

My wife goes to a Male Gyno and the nurse does all of the vitals at first and then asks her to remove her underwear (she usually wears a dress so she doesn't have to get naked).

The male doctor comes in alone without a female nurse but I believe if she asked for one they wouldn't say no

I always had male gynecologists and although I never asked for it during every exam a nurse was with us in the room

For sure the right way !! - so your male doctor will be safe for any kind of unnecessary treatments !! - including touchables !!

When I went with my mom to hers a few years ago the nurse was only there for a short time. She done stuff like height, weight, blood pressure and whatever else. And was the one who asked her to get undressed and handed her the gown and sheet. After she took her weight when she was in the gown we didn’t see the nurse again. She said that was normal there.

When I went with my sister the nurse was present the whole time except my sister was seeing a female doctor. I think it varies based on clinic. My friends mom who is a gynecologist said she does typically have a nurse unless the patient refuses.
