No. As someone who has moved around a lot, I’ve had both male and female gynos. I 100% prefer male gynos. A LOT of other women do as well. I actually came across a post about this the other day on social media.

Many women have talked about how their female gynos have dismissed their concerns as something else, sometimes citing experiences, while their male gyno actually took it seriously and worked with them to figure out what was going on. This was also my own experience as well. I want a doctor that takes my concerns seriously and goes off of facts, not a doctor who THINKS they know better purely because of their biology. I’ve had far worse interactions with female gynos and literally 0 bad interactions with male gynos. That’s not everyones experience, of course. But that’s mine, and many others. If I have the choice, I will absolutely always choose a male over a female gyno.

The part when u said "I want a doctor that takes my concerns seriously and goes off of facts, not a doctor who THINKS they know better purely because of their biology" Never thought of it this way... always assumed women to be better gynaecologists than men because of the very biology. Didn't think the opposite could happen too. Thanks for sharing

Nah some of them are gynos because their moms or a woman they know have gone through ovary cancer or other genital problems, and want to help others. I personally prefer female gynos because not only do I feel safer, but from my own experience, they are much gentler .

I have seen on the internet that there are people who prefer male gynos, but every woman I have met in real life either prefers women or doesn’t have a preference.

And the reputation of male gynos isn’t getting any better when a new one rapes a patient every now and then, the latest I remember being a few months ago of a Belgium gynaecologist student getting away unpunished because he was a “promising doctor.”
