gynecologists of Reddit.. What's the worst thing you've seen/most awkward experience

liapocalypse · 5 months

My first Pap it was this old lady. I was so nervous, and she knew it, and all she said to me was "I'm so glad I'm not one of those male doctors... their hands are like BIG OLE SAUSAGES!" ... and then proceded to check my insides with her small grandma fingers.

My sister's boyfriend was doing a gyno rotation. He was quite upset, as he was examining a woman that from sight and smell alone it was obvious she had cervical cancer so advanced that she wasn't going to make it. For the first time on that rotation he had to warn someone about their imminent death. It was all very depressing and solemn, so it was quite a relief when it turned out to be a tampon that had been in there long enough to resemble a tumor.

EDIT: On TSS- someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it the bacteria that causes TSS is either present in a patient or not, like MRSA. TSS is NOT an inevitable consequence of disgusting tampon behaviour.

Not an OB/GYN, but a couple years back I went in for my annual exam and they discovered I had a second, smallish, sneaky sort of vagina. Apparently this isn't that common and so of course allllll the medical students had to take a look (and of course they were all men). It was like a party, a party all for my vaginas.

One of my friends worked as an intern with a gynaecologist 2 years ago. There was a client complaining that she couldn't get pregnant. She also had been having diarrhea for a long time. The gynaecologist asked if she regularly had anal sex and the woman confirmed that she only did it anally. Apparently her husband had told her you can get pregnant from anal sex, so she wanted it non-stop to get pregnant.

Not a doctor, but I had a rather odd experience.. Went in for a routine pap at UCSF. My doctor was doing his thing when he asked if a few new doctors could come in and have some hands on experience. I agreed, and three ridiculously attractive male doctors came in. They all took their turns putting their fingers up my vagina, discussing it like I wasn't there.

And now I can say I've had four different men put their fingers up my vag in under 30 minutes.

Im no Gynaecologist but I have cleaned oozing puss from a 70 year olds septic vagina. I was 21 years old at the time, and I'm a guy.

My wife is an ob/gyn specializing in maternal fetal medicine which is basically high risk patients...she had an obese diabetic woman come in with an absess the size of a lemon on her labia..when they lanced it the absess exploded missing my wife but hitting her nurse...she described the smell as worse than a thousand decaying bodies and the nurse with over ten years of experience proceeded to throw up all over the exam room

One that a colleague in OB/GYN shared a while back:

A woman was in for a pelvic exam, is up in the stirrups and my colleague has her fingers in up to the cervix.

At this point, something possesses the woman to ask, and I quote, "So, do you ever think about stuffing a turkey while you're doing this?"

My colleague, trying to keep a straight face, answers, "No, but now I will every Thanksgiving..."

The woman finds this hilarious, and proceeds to stare my colleague dead in the eye while yelling "GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE", with my colleague's hands still up her hoody-hoo.

I still enjoy telling that story to friends at Thanksgiving. It means more turkey for moi.

Ex-gf's dad used to be in the field before retiring.

Worse case he had was a woman who was a heroin addict. For whatever reason she had to get creative with where she injected. Apparently, she considered her labia a good place. That was until they went gangrene on her.

My mom works as a Gynecologist's assistant and she has told me a few stories. A woman once went in and apparently filled an entire room with her putrid stench. She had been wearing the same underwear for two months and her panties, which were originally white, became a darkish yellow brown. She apparently wasn't very good at wiping either.

I'm an EMT and work in free health clinics with Remote Area Medical. We provide vision, dental, medical and women's health clinics. I was assigned to the women's health area when we had a lady come in with a washcloth shoved in that region.

Stank to high heaven, and she'd put it up there three weeks ago as homemade contraception.

That was my first time working in the women's health clinic.

And I have more, such stories, such horrible horrible stories.

dont_blink_angels · 5 months

When I was 13 I was diagnosed with Endometriosis. I had to go to the gynecologist about once every 4 months for check ups because my endo was pretty severe and was growing back quickly. My regular doctor was great, but I had to see another doctor while he was out of town. I was 14 at the time and this other doctor was really rough during her exam, had long finger nails that seriously felt like she was cutting into me, etc. She then ends the whole exam by telling me that I should get pregnant soon because that would cure the endo. My mom flipped out at this woman (keep in mind I was 14) and we never saw her again. Oh and getting pregnant is not a cure for endo.

tl;dr: Dr told 14 year old me to get pregnant.

TrustyChords · 5 months

Not a gyno but was an EMT/Firefighter about 10 years back. Treated a very attractive woman who decided to dump about 4 oz of Drano into/on her vagina to "kill the sperm" that her date left in her "by accident." Just think of an English bulldog who got popped an Alka-Seltzer, got into a Costco sized jar of mayo and then was punched in the face about 10 times. Thats what it resembled.

To add to the awkward factor, about a year later I met a very attractive woman at a grocery store. Got her number and met her for drinks. Later that night we ended up at my place making out. As soon as I started taking her shirt off I suddenly remembered that the girl who I had taken out for drinks was the one who previously dumped drano into her vag. Our night ended abruptly and awkwardly as you can imagine.

I know this isn't what you're after but when having my butt fingered for a prostate examination the doctor told me the he couldn't feel my prostate because my butt was fully loaded. I felt both ashamed and proud at the same time.

This is a story from a friend's dad, happened three summers ago.

An overweight woman comes into the office for an STD test and pelvic exam, complaining of colorful discharge, an awful stench, and burning during urination. She assumes she has gonorrhea. Wrong. It was much worse.

He gets in there for the pelvic exam, all the while assaulted by the stench of rot, and finds a fucking dead frog in her vagina. This thing is heavily decomposed, since the warmth of the woman's vaginal cavity has helped to speed up the process, and he has to pull it out piece by piece. Needless to say, she also had a wicked UTI.

The woman explained that she'd passed out naked and drunk/high/whatever at some party at her boyfriend's house, and figures he or one of his friends must have thought it would be an absolute riot to put a live fucking frog up her vag. She apparently did not seem bothered by the fact that an animal had died and decomposed in her vagina, just relieved she didn't have gonorrhea.

Edit: For extra gross-out factor, it's worth knowing that this was in Memphis, TN, where temperatures routinely get well over 100F with over 90% humidity. Think about that.

HelloHarriet · 5 months

I'm on placement as a scrub nurse for a Gyne theatre. I've seen many, many gross things in my time here. Mostly it's been terrible smells and a whole load of prolapses, but one case really sticks in my mind.

This poor woman came in with cervical cancer, and she got treated for it with chemo. For some reason (I don't know the medical technicalities behind this) her rectum and vagina fused, and any bowel movement she had would erupt furiously out of her vag. She was also very overweight, so couldn't properly clean herself, meaning all the festering shit and general uncleanliness had caused everything down there to start rotting.

My grandmother was an Ob-gyn nurse for 20 years. One night she came home from work and was eating dinner at the table. Out of nowhere she slammed her silverware down and screamed " If I have to look at one more fucking cunt the rest of my life I will kill someone!!!" She quit the next day.

As a young guy who had an extremely awkward experience during a 17-year old testicular ultra-sounding... has any girl ever had an orgasm during an examination?

_LanaKane_ · 5 months

Not a gyno, but during my first pap, the (male) doc kept talking to his assistant about how he was craving tuna for lunch.

effieokay · 5 months

A gyno once took a urine sample to check for something, I don't remember what exactly (but not pregnancy).

When she came back in the room she goes "Well XYZ was fine but GUESS WHAT YOU'RE PREGNANT!"

After several seconds of me freaking out and about to start crying she goes "Haha, just kidding!"

NOT FUNNY. NO. ಠ_ಠ

Nurse here. I had a girl come into the ER walking funny. She was complaining of pain near her vagina. She has an in-grown pubic hair next to her vagina that was infected & created a 4cm lesion of pus & stench. The PA and I had to drain the vesicle. I think I screamed louder than her when it popped while the PA was injecting some lidocaine to numb the area. It's sad, with no insurance, the poor girl let it go for so long before she spent the money for a doctor. Edit: *had

demonkeeper13 · 5 months

Surgeon here. I was doing a pediatric surgical rotation when an eight year old girl was brought in by her parents in ER for vaginal bleeding. I was called in to have a look at her because the nurse 'could see something inside'. Yep, there was stuff inside, and lots of it.

PENCILS

She used to pleasure herself with pencils. Took her to theatre and removed more than twenty pencils from her.

Scarred for life. Can never look at pencils without remembering that...

awyeedracomalfoy · 5 months

Former forever aloner here... when I was 19, I went in for my first pap. The gyno asked if I was still a virgin, and I said yes. She said, "your hymen is still intact. If you don't get someone to break it by the time you're 21, you're going to have to come back so I can break it for you."

What a magical first time that would have been...

Slkaz714 · 5 months

I'm a critical care nurse and we had a prostitute brought in through the ER and she kept grabbing towards her vagina shouting she had stuff in there. We looked at each other and thought oh no now we gotta look. We preceded to pull out toilet paper, $32.50, and a handful of maggots. Almost all of us gagged.

iheartoreos · 5 months

My friend is a nurse at a gynos office and she told us this story a few years ago. A lady came in complaining that she was bleeding during sex. When the doctor examined her he found two old condoms and an old tampon. She also said she hadn't gotten her period in six months.

A friends dad told me about a patient he had who was so obese, he needed 3 nurses to hold her fat out of the way so that he could examine her. It took one nurse per leg and the third nurse held the gut out of the way.

girlyevil · 5 months

My first exam, I had the lady doctor commenting on how "nice" things looked down there. She also gave me a breast exam and kept commenting on how soft my boobs were? Which was weird as fuck.

My Ex-gfs dad was a gyno. He told me one time a largely obese chick came in and he lifted her panis (Belly) to get the lady parts and an old stale oreo fell out along with the putrid stench.

Now he only stocks small through large gowns. He no longer stocks XL or XXL and refers them. I think these experiences ruined him.

My wife is a urologist and increasingly more of the issues handled by a gynecologist are being recognized as appropriately handled by female urology. Her worst experience was as a medical student visiting at a Midwest medical school. The patient was an insanely morbidly obese woman who they had to keep in the hospital for days until a new table capable of supporting her could arrive. When the time came for the exam, they had to assign a medical resident to either side of her to hold back her panis (google it) just to get access to the labia. We aren't talking holding fat up, we're talkin' holding fat back side-to-side like a barn door. When they finally got it open, the aged attending physician who had seen it all had to turn away from the stench to avoid vomiting. Since my wife was just a medical student, she was observing from a reasonable distance but said her favorite part was watching the faces of the residents left holding the panis as the attending fled.

My OB/GYN's nurse told me of an old lady that came in that had "lichen" which she described as "exactly what it sounds like" and it had to be treated with a vinegar pack. The old lady said, "Just call me Pickle-Puss!"

Jennishness · 5 months

I had a pap about 6 months after having my son and the OBGYN said something along the lines of, "Oh I can see that you're not having any issues with wetness. A lot of women 'dry up' and need to use lube after having a baby." It was a bit embarrassing because I've always been a bit on the extra juicy side lol -_-

NixFix · 5 months

My sister is personal friends with her OB/GYN (I know, weird, but whatever,they're collegues, she works in the hospital with him..) anyway, she asked him if he ever go sicked out by some stanky vag, and he said that he had not personally run across any that sicked him out, but that "you bitches need to wash your fucking FEET!" LMAO! After that, I make sure to give the tootsies a good scrubdown with the antibac soap in the exam room before the doc has to stick their face between them.

As a male that did an OBGYN rotation in medical school, I was never once turned on - I promise.

Doc_Fraktal · 5 months

Third year of medical school on my family medicine rotation which I'm doing on my med school's campus academic health center. Electronic medical record shows 24 year old with chief complaint of cough so I go in to interview her where it comes to light she's really there for vaginal itching. Finish up the interview and tell her I'm going to grab my attending for the pelvic exam. My attending tells me she'll let me do the pelvic if the patient consents (I had already done ob/gyn at this point and was quite comfortable with it) but we both agree I'd likely get asked to leave the room altogether. Lo and behold, patient consents, I do the pelvic, we write her a script for some antifungals and she goes home.

Two days later, I'm teaching a small group of first year students how to perform an abdominal physical exam (teaching is a requirement of the family medicine rotation) when, during introductions, I come face to face with my patient who never mentioned she was a first year student. We both play it off really cool at first but during the session, her partner asks me to show him how to do an inguinal/femoral hernia examination on a female patient AKA his partner. While I'm doing my exam, she breaks out in hysterical laughter which causes me to lose it and start laughing at the absurdity of the situation as well. She played it off like she was ticklish and I said something stupid like "I thought of something funny, don't mind me."

Two weeks later, she returns to the clinic for a follow up and I go see her. We talk for a while about how she's feeling, how awkward our second meeting was and then just shoot the shit for a bit when he goes "So when are you going to take me out to dinner?" I politely declined and explained I had a girlfriend at the time and never saw her again.

tl;dr I did a pelvic exam on a girl who ended up being a fellow medical student (though 2 years behind me) and asked me on a date at her follow up appointment.

Grandmaofhurt · 5 months

This is a story from a friends mom who worked as a receptionist at a gyno clinic in Emory. This middle-aged but kind of beat up looking black lady came in and immediately stated, "I gots leaves coming out mah twat"

Taken aback, my friends mom asked her to repeat herself, which she did, unaltered from her first statement. So the doc was retrieved promptly. Turns out the woman had shoved a potato up there for some diaphragm issue or something like that, either way I'll never understand it. And she forgot about it until Fern Gully happened all up in her vagina.

seamonkee · 5 months

There's a terrifying amount of "stuff decomposed in the vagina" stories on here.

I don't want to believe. I've been having periods for 20 years and have never forgotten/left anything in my lady canal and have no idea how that can happen.

I went in for a routine exam, and not only was I forced to stare at a picture of a beach scene with a disturbing fairy hanging from it, (completely unrelated to the beach scene) but my gynecologist says to me "Geez, relax- I REALLY hope you're not like this during sex..."

Yes, because a plastic duck bill and a penis are QUITE the same...

Phoenix, AZ-- I was a patient family advocate in an emergency room.

A lost Walmart receipt & the piece of rubber from flip flops that goes between your toes came out of a homeless woman's vagina. The recirpt was not for the flip flop.
