    Not sure if it was ever actually done or just urban legend but there used to be something called “the husband stitch” where an OBGYN would add another stitch while repairing an episiotomy (when a woman tears a bit giving childbirth) supposedly to make her vagina tighter. A lot of things there don’t add up, but that’s what the joke is about.

        Not too long ago, this was also “offered” in the case of my sister.
        The extra yucky part is it was offered to her husband without even her knowledge or consent.

          Husband stitch that doctor’s mouth so they never make that suggestion again. Men should not be allowed near OB.

            “I can punch you in the face so you need the stitches” would be my answer.
            Although odds are I’d only come up with it a few days later in the shower.

      Why do people think it’s an urban legend when women describe how they’ve been medically and sexually abused? 😐

        Why is your comment so adversarial when previous commenter literally said they weren’t sure?

        That’s not the same as dismissing women’s accounts so please don’t equate them

          I didn’t mean them specifically. I assume the reason they’re not sure is because they’ve heard people call it a myth before, as have I. And I think it’s shitty that people do that.
