6 things your OB/GYN won’t judge….
Since the beginning of my career, I’ve realized many women fear not only the actual exam, but fear judgement by their doc.
As a #womenshealthadvocate, I am there to serve, educate, and treat… not judge.
Here are some common misconceptions that I want to dispel, so women know that we are just here to help.
We won’t judge….
✔️If you are on your period! Do you know how much blood we see on a daily?!! If you need to be seen, you need to be seen!
✔️Your hair situation. We don't care how much pubic hair you have or whether you shaved your legs or not! It just doesn't matter!
✔️Your sexual history. Preferences or number of partners, it's all good. We only ask to help better care for you.
✔️How your vagina smells! A slight odor can be normal, but may also be a sign of a problem. No need to douch or use a product before coming in!
✔️Your pregnancy history. Miscarriages, adoptions, terminations, etc. It's important for us to know to better care for you in future pregnancies.
✔️Your questions! No question is a bad question. Don’t forget that.
