It was a rather unexpected encounter, akin to a blind date, set up by my friends who had raved about this specialist. They described him as an excellent listener, skilled in his craft, and, most importantly, someone who understood the intricacies of female anatomy. Little did I know, he would bring a refreshing change to my intimate life (and my husband’s too).
As I sat in his office, I couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed explaining my “furious vagina” issue, which elicited a light-hearted chuckle from him. This was a welcome surprise; he had a sense of humor, too!
We dove into the various concerns plaguing my sex life: vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse, and a dwindling libido. Remarkably, my mom accompanied me to the appointment, and he took it all in stride without a hint of judgment.
Looking into his eyes, I never could have anticipated the exciting turn my nights would take after this visit (Thank you, Dr. K!). After our discussion, he guided me to the examination room while my mother settled in the waiting area. Once it was just the two of us, he candidly informed me that my vagina resembled that of a 70-year-old woman, with thin and dry tissue. When he inquired if I had checked “down there” recently, I struggled to recall the last time I took a look. The only times I’d inspected my intimate area were when it seemed to be in distress. I vaguely remembered a photo my husband had taken to help identify a possible yeast infection. Honestly, it often looked furious—Wait, what was I talking about? Oh yes, my vagina.
Following our appointment, I felt compelled to give my vagina a name, so I dubbed her Ethel. Ethel was dealing with a significant hormone imbalance and a condition known as vaginismus, which turned intimacy into a frustrating experience—not the good kind. However, thanks to your expert care, my situation has drastically improved.
Dr. K, you’re the real hero here. I share this story to express my gratitude. Every cherished moment with my husband wouldn’t have been achievable without your skilled touch and compassionate approach. Thank you, and most importantly, Ethel extends her gratitude as well—frequently!
P.S. Please don’t consider ending our doctor-patient relationship if my admiration isn’t reciprocated. And I have zero jealousy about the other women who send you photos of their vaginas. Keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to our next Pap smear!
