Still waiting for the explanation o....pls all doz who "LIKED" his post shuld explain the distortion to me..

omicron:
Not to sound unprofessional, thd pregnant vaginna is rather repulsive, all thanks to the physiological changes he talked about.

The hormonal changes help to alter the smell of it, most times making take on a characteristically pungent odour that can easily induce nausea and vomittin. The extra vaginal discharges, the normal thick mucus, the blood, the "show", the characteristically malodourous liqour, these things make the experience of examination of the obstetric patient somewhat unpalatable.

But no one is to blame. It is all normal, even if not pleasant.

The doctors are professional, most times they do not see "vaginass". In the gynae room, it is usually a diseased tissue, in the labour room, it becomes a birth canal. And nothing more, except of cos, in the bedroom.

I have resisted to urge to vomit many times during an obsteric exam. If I did, I might have been severely disciplined for that is unethical. Those who watch Grey's Anatomy series will understand more.

I also do not blame the public. It is almost impossible to really understand the medical world or medical practice.

Creamish:


Exactly wat i asked for. I doubt alot of women are aware of this cos frankly, hubbyz never say anything different. They always make u feel good. Hmm...dat bad ehn?

Thanks for the info.

BTW, is this change general?

@Kaeycea ... now how hard was it to explain it dis way?

omicron:
Physiological changes in pregancy are almost always there. The dimensions of the changes, of cos, will vary between individual.

It is not a question of hygene, far from it. It is same way the vaginass always have their characteristic odours, each being different from another.

The reaction of the lactic acid produced by the "good" bacteria in it with other substances including cervical discharges, sweat from special sweat glands know as apocrine glands (similar to those under the armpit) help to produce vaginal odours.


In pregnancy, these things become exagerated, plus the extra mucus, the show etc, and in labour the liquour and blood.

So, yes, it is general.

(Note that i have not mentioned how bad hygene (which is very common in pregnancy) can make this even more unpleasant)

Creamish:


thanks.

Generals02:


Lol good you are satisfied now. You wanted a graphic description of how it isn't fun prying into pregnant females' private and someone has given it.

Thanks for making me almost throw-up right now.

iduzebaba:
it's called vaginal examination, and it is part of the clinical examinations for pregnant women, it is not routine, and not always done during every antenatal visit but only when it's indicated. we doctors are professionals and should not be associated with lewdness.

xynerise:

That wasn't a mistake from him but a gbagaun

xynerise:

Tell him.
I heard doctors do that to also expand the vulv'a opening

xynerise:

Almost a doctor

mrrock:


To be honest, any doctor who want to sleep with any lady patient will succeed. I heard they can even demand to inspect your wife's vagina when they fall in love with her even when such inspection is not necessary. After caressing her it's the woman that will start looking for them later.

A major part of obstetric and gynae residency is about instillng in the doctors, the utmost respect for women , and gynaecoligists are leading partners in women's rights advocacy programs.

I also do not blame the public. It is almost impossible to really understand the medical world or medical practice.

Dera25:
Please I need a matured advice, I have been having this argument with my fiancee and I want to confirm from the house especially ladies. She said that during antenatal there is a stage the doctor will start putingt his hand on the private part to examine the condition of the baby. But my problem with this is not only to confirm the authenticity of this story but I am feeling so disguise on how the male doctor will be putting hands on someone's dearly wife because of antenatal not even during child birth. No insult please

With this stupidity of yours, if you become a doctor, I will tear my license.

Macmilla:

Please tell them it's called clinical pelvimetry.

ACM10:


You forgot that there are 3Ps that determine successful delivery(power, passage, and passenger). So clinical pelvimetry is rarely necessary

Creamish:


If u have this concern already, then its better u stick with a female gynae because its not only ante-natal examinations that may warrant such procedures..

Macmilla:

Clinical pelvimetry, though not routinely done, accesses the passage.

xynerise:

I believe this is how you address your elders at home? Foolish Antelope

ACM10:


We are saying the same thing. Passage alone does not determine the progress of a labour because the fetal head is known to mold during decent. Do you routinely assess the passage during antenatal care? We may be dealing with sexual molestation here. Doing VE might induce labour or trigger severe bleeding in placenta previae. It is rarely indicated in a normal pregnancy. Besides pelvimetry is done from 36 weeks of gestation.

Macmilla:

Sexual molestation? Dude, seriously? Why are you so negative? I'm just trying to tell the guy that the VE is normal in pregnancy, though not routine, and here you go with your hulalabull of labour and bleeding. What message are you trying to pass to the guy that asked the question? You want to scare him enough to beat up any doctor that tries a VE on his pregnant wife when you know it can be indicated in some cases? Or you just want to tell us you know the possible complications of VE in pregnancy? Dude you might be a doctor, but you need to learn how to talk to and alleviate the fears of your patients.

1miccza:


What other procedures abeg??

ACM10:


With all due respect I disagree with some of the points you raised. Our discussion has nothing to do with alleviating patients fear. I'm imagining what will make a Dr to do a VE during a normal antenatal visit. I may not have every info with me. BTW, we did not hear Dr's side of the story. But I have seen cases of abuse by Drs in this regard. Some discuss it openly. I only want Drs to be more responsible and conduct themselves professionally. This might happen to your wife. We should call a spade a spade. I refuse to be a party to any cover up. The bad eggs of the profession must be identified and shamed. I apologise for using 'sexual molestation'.

Wow! You are not even a doctor and I've been thinking I was talking to one. Now I know you are not a doctor, I have nothing to discuss with you.

i almost thought u're a Dr until this...
