Women need to be aware they are vulnerably exposed in the hands of a male gynaecologists and it is easy for them to fall prey to rapists.
Because of this possibility, it is always good to have basic ground rules when dealing with a gynaecologist especially one of the opposite sex.

Here are my basic shields when dealing with a gynaecologist of the opposite sex:
Seek for a female nurse: There are a good number of male gynaes in most hospitals so chances are high if you present yourself at a medical facility you will get a male gynae. It is normal to feel jittery when they tell you they need to do an intrusive check-up and you need to undress.
