An Important Message from the OB/GYN

“Please do not cancel on us because of, or in general discuss the following with us: hair is normal, we don’t care if you’ve shaved your legs, or trimmed your ‘area.’ Frankly, it’s weird you’d think you should have. Also, do not cancel an appointment on us because you’re on your period. New Pap smear techniques work around it. Stop thinking about ‘down there’ as gross, it’s not, and if it was, remember we help women give birth. We’ve seen worse. Your self-consciousness about your private parts is not only silly, it’s disruptive to our practice to have you skipping appointments for silly reasons. Lastly, yes, there is over the counter meds for a yeast infection. Like Monistat. It’s easy to treat a yeast infection yourself.” - Dr. Who

  • tbf the first time i had a yeast infection I had no idea I could buy something at a drugstore and was a little weirded out after my OBGYN mentioned I had one but didn’t prescribe anything. I prodded for a prescription and she gave me one but I feel like she should have also mentioned that I didn’t need one! Make sure your teenage clients are aware, don’t take knowledge for granted 🙂
