Nope. Female ones in my experience have pretty much no sympathy! They figure, hey, they have to go through the same thing you do so I think they cop that attitude. I LOVE my male gyno! In fact, I wish he could be my regular doctor. He spends so much time with me when I have my yearly appt. Never rushes me and answers all my sex questions too! I had two deliveries and both were with male OBGYN's. The one woman in the practice was such a Bi#ch that no one ever wanted her to deliver their babies. She had no patience and was know to just give C-sections! So in my opinion, MALE gyno's are much more sympathetic!
