I don't fault him so much for giving up medicine for his desired profession (Though I would say acting like a professional idiot is far less noble than a doctor)

I fault him more for being a 1 dimensional and completely unfunny.

You realize that most average GYN days consist of looking at fairly normal vaginas and doing yearly check-ups, right? It's not like every herpes ridden hoo-ha marches into the office each morning; it's annual physicals and the occasional STDs. Many specialties in medicine revolve around treating routine problems but making sure to have the sense about you when something important happens.

This crap about diseases lady bits is disturbing and clearly indicative of your former love for a smelly trench. For that, I am deeply sorry. You didn't deserve to be abandoned at the 7-11 by the nacho machine. It was wrong.

As far as which is better to look at concerning the nether regions, I have two words for you: ball sweat. I'd prefer something I cannot see like cervixes and uteri over hairy balls and BO.

I don't know, reaching into truly disgusting orifices is in most cases gender-neutral. The difference with OB/GYN is there is an extra orifice that can be very, very disgusting, that still has to be examined, and is in fact the point of your specialty. BO is definitely not gender-specific, and I would rather not have to support a sweaty leg on each shoulder (because the patient can't hold them apart) that each weigh half as much as I do as I reach into one of those disgusting orifices dripping with green froth...you get the picture.

Plenty of disgusting aspects about certain patients of either gender, but OB/GYN pretty much guarantees at least a semi-regular occurrence of the above description, or some variation thereof....

I had a conversation with my cousin who is a 3rd year medical student doing his ob/gyn rotation and he said just because hes a male he usually doesn't get to do anything. Most of the times when the doctor ask "can the medical student watch" most patients say no. One of the females on his rotation gets to see and do a lot more than he does. If I am lucky enough to get into medical school I would dread the ob rotation.

In this thread: future sex partners of horribly unsatisfied women because these lads won't perform oral sex on them. Regardless of what pornos tell you, boys, just sticking it in and wiggling won't make a girl happy.

Well, again, you're mostly teen boys who don't care about your partner's sexual happiness.

LOL, one can be disgusted by a truly awful example of female genitalia, yet still enjoy their partner's. One can also not want to make a living looking at random women's genitalia and still enjoy their partner's. Sort of like saying a woman who is completely disgusted with a truly diseased and disgusting male part will have a problem pleasing her future husband...

Or are you claiming a man would have to be happy looking at a huge variety of female parts, in a wide range of hygiene and health, to be capable of pleasing his female partner? I think there is a disconnect there somewhere...

You find me a practitioner who puts a patient's legs over his shoulders and I'll write you a check for your tuition (facetious).

There are gynecological examination tables designed for this specific purpose.

Also, on the 3 weeks of my OB/GYN rotation I have yet to smell a va-jay-jay that makes me cringe. I can guarantee the penis doesn't look desirable either if it has crusties all over it.

The negativity in this thread seems to be coming from the males. There are disgusting smells and sights in every field. Let's grow up a little bit. There's a lot of speculation from those that aren't actively seeing patients.

And, as a male, if you want to get a lot of GYN experience you have to find the older females that don't care who looks at their hoo-hah.

I'm referencing in particular the posts that imply that even a normal set of female genitalia is nasty. Those that express the sentiment:

I mean, even in pristine condition, we're talking about something that is kind of gross. It's like washing and waxing an old car...it helps, but not that much.

And the OP makes no distinction between diseased and normal. I think he's just afraid of crotch.

That part was me quoting a description I read before to make a point, though if you are interested the description was in PandabearMD's blog. I can't speak to the accuracy of the description of the exam, of course. It was in reference to a patient so large there was no other way to spread the legs enough to perform the exam. I would understand if he was exaggerating for effect, but it also wouldn't surprise me at all if in certain cases it was necessary.

I have no more desire to specialize in the penis than in the vagina. To be honest, OB would probably be my first choice if I had to pick between the two (spoken as someone obviously not through rotations yet). However, from perusing this site and other blogs, if you truly haven't experienced a "bad" patient in OB/GYN, I would bet you are very lucky.

You definitely have a point with that post.....

I'm female and I dread the day I have to do the OB/GYN rotation.

You're right. My female partners are unhappy. I don't care about their needs at all.

They'll get by.

lol ditto.I can't imagine the horrors.

For all the complaining about smells, the most notable odor I ran into during OBGYN was probably placenta. Other than the whiff test, but that doesn't really fill a room. The placenta smell isn't gutwrenchingly awful, it's just... a smell all its own.

The worst smells I ran into so far were definitely on surgery. A dude riddled with venous stasis ulcers. Really looked forward to changing the dressings on that every single day for just about three solid weeks.

I mean, the definition of "pristine" varies. I guess a good example would be if you scrubbed your bathtub really well, but you couldn't reach down in the drain to take care of the cesspool down there.

If you really think this is true, you really need to meet my friend Nathan. He would change your life.

U mad? Some guys need to prime the pump, but I guess a few dry thrusts are okay if you're not shoving in anything particularly large.

Eh...not necessarily true.

Thread started with good discussion. Sexual topics aren't appropriate for the pre-professional forums. Stick to the topic at hand, males as OB/GYNs and stop informing the world of your (lack of) sex life. Thanks!

Also, cunnilingus causes prostate cancer, if she's on the pill. But don't take my word for it, take the word of a congressional Republican!

Havent you heard of all the hpv-16 going around from all these dudes who eat out too much? (srs).

Though you are right, but most girls are satisfied by my finger + neck licking combo... prior to the smash.

^ Lol.

Virtually every doctor will see something revolting at some point. Aren't we supposed to be more mature about this sort of thing? Look, diagnose, and move on.

You my friend have much to learn about obgyn.

I've read everything that you immature, objectifying, ignorant wankers have to say about vaginas and your sweet sex lives AND I still manage to go home and not only screw, but love, my boyfriend... so surely you cannot imply that encountering less-than-ideal members of the opposite sex on a daily basis should have any bearing on one's feelings toward his/her significant other??

I was with you until you said wankers and then you got weird.

Why would someone from the Confederacy use that type of language.

This thread has moved from appaling to disgusting. Physicians and aspirant should regard all the bodyparts as equally sacred and dedicate themselves to treat the malfunctions of those bodyparts without mocking at them.

Come on now. The brain or heart is far more sacred than your pinky finger. This thread has gotten kind of disgusting though. Noone needs to know about your personal sexual conquests.

Perhaps good work hours and life-work balance? Perhaps the med student really had an interest in the field? In other words, why not? Its like asking why female med students should go into nephrology or surgery.

ehh females make up about 1/3 of those who match general surg

I'm assuming you mean to write:

Why would any male in HIS right mind, go into OB/GYN??

This thread is insane. I am LMAO at some of these responses. Y'all are so crazy sometimes.

I think more men would pursue OB/GYN if it hadn't become so female-dominated. I think men fear that the environment will be hostile for them trying to train in this field. In the past the field was male-dominated and those men must have had their reasons for choosing OB/GYN over other available fields. Their points of interest are probably still valid with today's men, except as I mentioned above, the environment just isn't welcoming for men anymore.

I have several male OB/GYN friends (most of them are pretty normal people and not utter perverts BTW) and the most popular reason men sign up to enter a OB/GYN residency in Mexico is usually just a back-up plan in case they don't match General Surgery which is heavily male oriented.

Most of them have no real lustful interest in seeing naked women (usually bloated, pregnant or overweight to boot) and smelling pelvic infections in front row (not pleasant), they only want to match into the least competitive surgical residency as a back-up because General Surgery is so uber competitive. Some of them usually just throw a dart between choosing OB/GYN or Ortho as their back-up plan in the last minute. At least half of the male 1st year OB/GYN residents I met only got in because at least they matched into a surgical specialty, not for the joy of seeing naked patients all day.

Yes they think, or in better words they fear, because there are really such MDs. Everybody may not be as healthy as you are

That's interesting. I am a female and when I was shadowing a fam doc all the ladies would let me sit in for their embarrassing lady parts problems, old men didn't mind me there watching their prostates get checked and young men my age would see me and immediately blush and ask the doctor for me to leave the room. Basically, I didn't get to talk to men unless they were old or small children. Even men in their 30s would see me and blush and ask "she's not gonna stay here, is she?".

We'll probably need a few dudes around. I know some women who would rather die than have some apparently-lesbian doctor stick her head down there -_-

I have a male OBGYN and he's great. I went to a female once and as she was doing her exam she was chatting away and obviously way too comfortable, it just felt way too casual. I simply to go my guy OB, I tell him my problem, he says OK and asks a few questions and then does the exam in complete silence. He then tells me what the issue is, I ask a few questions, and I leave. He's not like "oh girl...! Trust me I had this same problem last year! Omg isn't it the most uncomfortable thing!!" as he's doing the exam like the girl did.

So from a patients view, I like the male OBs and hope they stick around

This is why I always made it a point to say yes to medical students--how else are students going to get enough experience? I'm pretty sure one of them regretted it after I talked her ear off to distract me from my contractions. She did get to help with the delivery though.
