Jesus. That is horrible. You were abused, and I would act on it. Seriously. [ Reply | More

And you're not going to be sure. i would at least change OBs. (Even better, change to a midwife--you can be damn sure you wouldn't be touched like that, if only because you don't get nearly as many unnecessary vaginal exams!) [ Reply | More

I agree, however, no one but the op's dr can know if this is what's going on. I've had my FEMALE (heterosexual) gyn touch me there during exams when she's had to put her hands in a certain position, and there was nothing sexual about it at all, it just happened because that was where her hand had to be [ Reply | More

If you feel like something inappropriate happened it probably did, but I don't know how you can prove this. Just don't go back to same OB. [ Reply | More

I've never had that happen and I have had a few OB's. I do feel that my GP is always making me undress even when I come it for a sore throat. And I feel like he touches my breasts too much during routine examinations. [ Reply | More

This happened to me once. It was years ago that a doctor did a breast exam on me when I was there for an entirely different reason. I never went back and never told anyone, but I still feel he assaulted me. [ Reply | More
