Wu Chia-ling, an associate professor of sociology at National Taiwan University, says that an invasive gynecological procedure has strong sexual overtones, and it is inevitable that a woman will feel ill-at-ease. Nevertheless, the way to reduce embarrassment is not to ask women to get psychologically tougher, but to start by improving the health care environment.
台大社會系助理教授吳嘉苓指出，婦產科內診是一種很有性意涵的接觸，女性尷尬是必然的，然而，減少尷尬不是只讓婦女自己去作自我心理建設，而應從改善醫療環境著手。
