I don’t mean to be rude, and personal preference I would rather see a lady gyno. But if I was in pain & needed medical attention quickly I would see a man. It’s not cheating, there’s nothing sexual about it & your health should come first

My boyfriend comes from a completely different background than I do. He was raised extremely conservative while I was raised to see the body and its functions as a normal part of life. I compromised on a few things such as not watching movies with sex scenes or watching porn, he believes both of those are cheating, another thing I agreed to was not seeing a Male gyno. But over the past 5-6 months I would have cramping in my ovary/uterus area without being on my period. It wasn't everyday or super painful so I ignored it until last week. My boyfriend and I were having sex and everything was fine the first few minutes but one of the times he went back in it felt like I had been punched. I thought it might have been the position so we tried another one and it still hurt so we stopped and the pain went away in about 5-10 minutes. The next day I felt the pain again but brushed it off, since then I have felt it every day and it is getting worse, yesterday the pain brought me to the ground and I was crying for 30 minutes. I have also been extremely tired but unable to sleep for more than 2 hours, I get lightheaded often, and have trouble with circulation. I am using birth control (aviane) for the past 2 weeks, I was on sprintec( 2 months) but I had side effects so I stopped. I want to see a gyno but the closest female gyno is 3 hours away and is not accepting new patients. Should I go behind my boyfriend's back and see a male gyno in town or just wait to see if the pain goes away.

Most doctors will offer a chaperone in the room or even your boyfriend can be there if you wanted. That might be helpful and I think your health comes above all else and if he doesn’t agree then that’s an entirely different issue. I wouldn’t ask for his permission, I would just tell him what’s going to happen and that he can join or not join if you like.Alternatively, family medicine docs have OB/GYN training so you can see if you can see one of them first, usually easier to access and get into and they will refer out if needed.Good luck! Don’t compromise your heath for your boyfriend’s values!!!
See the Male gyno. If it winds up being something serious, then that decision could save your life.This Male Gyno is a doctor. He does his job. The best gyno I ever had was a Male one. They're very careful, especially with the stigma held over their heads about Male doctors in a female's reproductive specialty. Just see the gyno. It is not cheating. This is your health.
I had been with 1 women Obgyn for 4 years than they stopped taking my insurance, had to find another Obgyn and it was a male he was fine and talked me through everything just like my last one, than I moved states and had no insurance and found a decent obgyn that's a male but it cost me $400 out of pocket including the visit (the appointment) & to run my swab test, but I'd talk to your significant other and get yourself taken care of (no offense to him) but i agree with everyone's comment about making sure you are healthy!🥰 Good luck!
