I just learned that for gyn surgery they essentially tilt the patient at 38 degrees, such that the head is to the floor and the pelvis and feet are in the air with legs spread and private bits out.... Just the thought of it seems humiliating.... I am peri-menopausal and and although I don't need any surgery it just strikes me as cruel how women's bodies are positioned to be gawked at... I am sure this would be even more horrific if this is involuntary surgery (shudder) I think my days with the gyn are done.... for post menopausal creams I will just stick to a mail order company like midi or something.
