To think this was really inappropriate from a doctor

Today I had to visit a consultant gynaecologist for an initial appointment about possibly needing a prolapse procedure. I asked him if an operation would help. He tried to put me off and refer me to physio but then at the end of this he then said "although it does make your vagina tighter" and kind of gave a little shrug and smiled. Am I unreasonable to have felt really embarrassed and uncomfortable with this comment. This came after an examination as well so to be honest I felt a bit violated. Just want to get opinions before I decide whether to make a complaint or not.

That wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Some people would be pleased to have that as a side effect given they've got a prolapse and I presume have had kids. Each to their own.

That would have really upset me. I would make a formal complaint.

I'd complain immediately what a disgusting fucking creep.
