OK I'm going to reask this--Why does my gyno seem weird to me?


Question:
I just got over cervical cancer so and two pregnancies so I've been to my doctor about 27 times in the past two years. My doctor always sticks his finger in my rectum and rubs upward towards my front. But he never takes a stool sample. And he always saves this for last and always throws away his gloves and walks out before I can ask what the heck was that for? That and the past couple of times I went he's rubbed my outter lips. I haven't complained of a rash and none of the other doctors do either of these things. Whats going on? And now I have to go back next week for a wet prep because I suspect a bacterial infection. But I was just treated for what I was told was yeast in August...I hate going I'm sick of it. And I'm unable to switch doctors at this time due to the fact my insurance has limited practices it is accepted at.

Answers:
Everything you mentioned sounds procedure except the rubbing of the outer lips..that's weird..I never had that done..is there a nurse in there while you are being examined.If u feel uncomfortable you should find a female doctor who does take that insurance, there has to be one somewhere..I'd go with my gut instinct. He doesn't sound like a caring doctor if he doesn't explain anything and then runs out. and no, it's not ridiculous b/c I had a similar experience and I found another doctor who was considerate and caring. Good luck
This is getting ridiculous. He doesn't TAKE a sample, stool material is on the glove after the exam and it is then placed on a small card that will show occult or old blood. If you are old to enough to have had cervical cancer and two children you certainly don't act like it.
