Going to an ob/gyn is daunting for anyone! It can be a bit nerve racking and women can feel very vulnerable. I personally didn't see an ob/gyn until my mid 20s.
I have only ever seen a female gynecologist. I am just not comfortable with a male doc and that's very normal and common! This might be her issue!
Thanks for asking for her and hopefully she will see that an ob/gyn is as important as a regular internist.
There are many free clinics and also clinics that charge on a sliding scale based on income or student status.
I hope she sees a doc soon. You are setting the best example by seeing an ob/gyn yourself!
