I'm agreeing with you for the record. I just want to add another perspective as a nurse and (full disclosure) I've never gone near gynecology since university, so this is just from observations in acute care, psych, ED, cardiac and nephrology units. I'm sure I've worked alongside 100+ physicians and 500+ nurses in my career (I've moved several times).

In situations like this, it's almost always the opposite gender. This idea that a given patient is somehow providing unreliable information happens more to women than men when it comes to patient-doctor interactions and is often more drastic in nature. Like a complete disregard vs moderate skepticism.

However, in patient-nurse interactions I find the opposite to be true. Where it's more common for a female nurse to disregard a male patient's history and reported symptoms. The outcome tends to be far less drastic and it does happen both ways.

I also find it is primarily a problem amongst older nurses and physicians and those from certain cultures who were foreign-trained. I rarely see that sort of attitude with younger staff. I'm kind of in-between generations in that regard and I've caught myself not understanding some female issues more times than I can count... at least I just listen and ask for help.
