It all began with a recommendation from friends for my gynecologist, Dr. Jane. They praised her as an attentive listener and emphasized her expertise, especially in female anatomy. Little did I know, she would become a pivotal figure in my life—not just for me, but for my partner as well.
During our initial consultation, I nervously described my symptoms: vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse, and a diminishing libido. Bringing my mother along seemed unusual, but Dr. Jane handled the situation with grace and humor, which instantly put me at ease.
As we discussed my intimate health, I never anticipated the candid conversation we would have regarding my anatomy. When Dr. Jane examined me, she revealed that my vaginal tissue appeared significantly aged, resembling that of a woman far beyond my years. She inquired if I had been observing my own anatomy lately, prompting a reminder of my sporadic self-checks during moments of discomfort. I vaguely recollected a photo I had saved, taken by my husband, to assess a potential yeast infection. It seemed my vagina was perpetually disgruntled—oh, Ethel, what a journey we’ve had.
Upon reflection, I decided that my ‘angry vagina’ deserved a name: Ethel. Ethel was grappling with a severe hormonal imbalance and a condition known as vaginismus, making intimate moments challenging. However, thanks to Dr. Jane’s thorough care and expertise, I began to see improvement.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Jane for her invaluable support. Every cherished moment with my partner was made possible through her unwavering dedication. Ethel and I are forever grateful for your “Dr. Love” touch.
P.S. I hope our professional relationship continues, even if my admiration is one-sided. And just for the record, I have no jealousy regarding the myriad of photographs you receive from other patients—keep doing what you do best.
