Clara, my GP is a young (early 30s) female, and is super. Of course, it will vary by individual, but there is nothing I would hesitate to discuss with her. In fact, I'm due for my annual shortly, and plan on telling her about NBE, what I am taking and dosages and discussing the possibility of a hormone eval. I am more interested in her reaction at that point, and that will determine whether or not she will continue to be my GP!
IMO, a female physician is generally more sympatico than a male, but then again, I find most females more sympatico than males...
