Every time someone asks me, “Sir aap male hoke gynaec kyu kiya?”… I genuinely think I’d be a lot richer if I charged for that answer 😄
But here’s the truth medicine does not work on gender stereotypes, passion does.
Just like a female orthopaedic surgeon is often made to prove she’s “strong enough” or “capable enough”, a male gynaecologist is constantly questioned for choosing a branch society has mentally assigned to women.
And that’s exactly where the problem lies in society’s lens, not in the science.
I chose gynaecology because this field is far bigger, deeper and more demanding than what most people assume. It is not limited to one organ or one misconception.
This branch involves infertility, cancer care, hormonal disorders, endocrinology, laparoscopic surgeries, high risk pregnancies, abdominal procedures and so much more. In fact, a huge percentage of our surgeries are abdominal.
Yes, I also understand the discomfort that can come with a male gynaecologist.
A woman walking into the OPD for the first time may feel uneasy. A young girl may feel anxious. Sometimes the patient is comfortable, but the partner is not. Sometimes cultural or religious beliefs create hesitation.
These concerns are real, and they deserve acknowledgment, not dismissal.
Which is why my role is not just to treat. My role is to create a space that feels safe, clinical, respectful and trustworthy 🤍
Because at the end of the day, your doctor’s gender should never matter more than their intent, skill and ethics.
This conversation is long overdue. 👨🏻⚕️✨
