I used to think I’d feel awkward with a male gynae, but my experience with Dr Jen Shek Wei has been really smooth. He’s respectful, explains things clearly, and never makes you feel uncomfortable during check-ups.

I had something similar happen a few months back and also tweaked my neck during yoga (I was doing a headstand and thought I was being careful…). At first, it just felt stiff, but the discomfort crept in more as the day went on. I ended up seeing Dr Sean Ng, an orthopaedic surgeon, and it helped me figure out what was actually going on.

I’d say it’s better to get it checked by a doctor, especially if the pain is getting worse. Sometimes what feels like a simple strain could be more than that, and it’s better to catch it early.
