I have a muscular disorder called Vaginismus which basically means my vagina muscles were so tight at one point not even a q-tip could fit inside without excruciating pain. My first gyno was male and had no idea why I could possibly be so much pain during my exam. His diagnosis was that I must have been raped, as that was the only explaintion for my intense pain response. He gave me a business card for a rape trauma center and sent me out the door, horrified that I had repressed a traumatic experience. Obviously, that is wildly inaccurate medical advice on lots of levels and long story short he was just a plain old idiot. After about 5 minutes into an exam with a (female) specialist I was correctly diagnosed, put into physical therapy, and now I am the proud owner of a fully-functioning vagina. Thanks lady doctor, for understanding the concept of muscles 👍🏻.
