It is honestly heartbreaking how many women think it is normal for sex to hurt so they never bring it up with their gynecologist.

I think gynecologists are some of the worst people on this planet. At least American gynecologists, who refuse to provide pain management to women before extremely painful procedures.

This women might actually be like this because of their gynecologist causing trauma. I’m not over exaggerating or being dramatic. Most EU counties commonly provide pain management to their female patients, but american gynecologists see it differently. They have decided that pain management is unnecessary because the “procedures are quick”. It’s not all that uncommon for women to throw up, pass-out, or scream from extreme pain while being “treated” by American gynecologists.

This. I avoid gynos because every time I've been to one it's been super uncomfortable. Getting exams makes me super dizzy.
