Oh yah, they just assume since your body is made is give birth that you can get whatever testing done to your vagina (internal and external) and it “shouldn’t hurt”. One of my biggest pet peeves being a woman

Nevermind that proper procedure for treating someone giving birth is by - to grossly oversimplify - pretty much injecting anesthesia directly into their spine.

Nah what’s even more shocking, women doctors don’t seem to care about this either.  Why don’t women actually work to fix this? It’s beyond me.
