I have fallen for my gynaecologist.

[chirpee]

I had 2 operations earlier in the year and have become completely infatuated with my gynaecologist. I am very happily married with a fulfilling life so it came as a complete shock. It has turned my life upside down and the thought of not seeing him again is making me so unhappy. Has anyone else experienced anything like this and if so how did they get over it?

Couldn't you get your DH to wear a mask over his face, get your legs up in some stirrups and just pretend?

It's always seemed weird to me that men are gynaecologists at all. I mean wouldn't it seem odd if a woman really wanted to be a doctor specialising in nob problems? Not that men shouldn't be, but it does seem... well none of their business and a bit out of their range of experience.

I have also been mortified to have a smear done by an incredibly dishy doc who looked like denzel washington.

I had a breast reduction a few years ago. My surgeon and nursing team for all my checkups were female so I was totally unprepared for a gorgeous mid-twenties male doctor walking into the room to do my last check a couple of months later.

I went bright red while he deftly prodded my norks and tweaked my nipples, before proclaiming "they look fantastic!".

The female nurse who was in the room with us was bent double trying not to laugh behind his back.

I know a dishy plastic surgeon called Neil, if that helps. He can't understand why men become gynaecologists, either.

Remember what Woody Allen said: 'It is possible to be a great lover and a great gynaecologist, but not at the same time.'

i knwo a plastic surgeon called Neil. He aint dishy

Thank you for all your replies - they made me chuckle. If any gynaecologists are reading, maybe they can answer the question. It does seem a strange choice of career for a man, especially as a large proportion of the patients in the waiting area seemed to be, to put it kindly, a little past their prime and I wouldn t have thought been the cause of much excitement. I am still waiting to hear from somebody who - like me - has been unable to get the damn gynaecologist out of their head and is causing so much grief.

I can remember commenting whilst in hospital that it was very disappointing that the doctors were nothing like the ones in Holby City.
The anesthetist was quite alarming when he asked me if he was drawing on the correct limb!

OPI think you are making a mistake to equate intimate examinations with sex, TBH!
there is a lot more to being a gynae than fanjo peering! Maybe that is the downside of their job!
My gynae is lovely but he also does fertility treatment, as well as the whole range of women's issues. I think that it might appeal tomen who genuinely like women and want to make a difference to their lives. Not sure- just my opinio.

my dentist is lurverly - he's an ex international rugby player mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

my psychiatrist has also got himself loaded in my mind - i spend the whole session blushing

sorry not loaded i meant lodged...........don't know what i was thinking

Well having done some research on the subject, I ve found out there is a name for this infatuation with a medical person - it s called transference. Apparently therapists and psychologists are the usual ones patients fall for - I suppose that s because you tell them your innermost secrets and they are so understanding. I guess I fell for my gynaecologist because I was feeling particularly vulnerable and he was so kind and caring - as no doubt he is to all his patients.I just wish I could get over him and move on.....
