It felt like a blind date, arranged by friends who sang praises of my new gynecologist; they claimed he was an excellent listener, had skilled hands, and, most importantly, knew how to navigate the complexities of female anatomy. Little did I know, he would bring both pleasure and relief to my life—and my partner’s too.
As we sat together during my appointment, I explained my issues, humorously labeling them as my “furious vagina,” which elicited a chuckle from him. To my surprise, he also had a great sense of humor, which eased my nerves.
We discussed a range of concerns: vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, and a dwindling sex drive. Not even my decision to bring my mom along fazed him. Looking into his eyes, I could never have predicted the transformative experience he would help me achieve.
After our conversation, he took me to the examination room, and my mother took a seat in the waiting area. In a private moment, he revealed that my vagina resembled that of a 70-year-old woman—thin, dry tissue. When he asked if I had inspected the area recently, I struggled to recall the last time I had taken a look. The only time I had examined it was when things felt off, and I vaguely remembered a picture my husband had taken to see if I had a yeast infection. Admittedly, my vagina often looked furious.
Reflecting on our appointment made me realize that any organ with so many descriptors deserved a name. Thus, I dubbed her Gertrude. She was dealing with significant hormonal imbalances and a condition known as vaginismus, which complicated sexual experiences—not in a fun way. However, thanks to your care, Dr. M, everything has changed for the better.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude, Dr. M. Every intimate moment I share with my partner now wouldn’t be possible without your exceptional expertise. Gertrude thanks you as well—frequently.
P.S. I hope this appreciation is mutual. By the way, I’m not at all jealous of the countless images of other women’s vaginas you receive. Keep up the great work.
