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.

You are over thinking it. Have you lost tightness, is it noticeable especially to a doctor who sees multiple vaginas every day? He was telling you reasons not to have the op and then told you one side effect which, in your case, may be beneficial. Please don't report him. This does sound like a you problem to be honest.

Did you have a chaperone there?

He may mean it in a BAD way. If you find sex uncomfortable for example, having your vagina tighter may make it worse. It's hard to say how it was meant unless you were there but I wouldn't complain about it personally
