I'd say you have nothing to be ashamed of and his personal life has nothing to do with your health problems. Gossip is one of those things that can cause all kinds of problems because things get blown out of proportion more each time the story is told. There is no way of knowing what really happened. I'd suggest assessing how you feel about him as a physician--is he helping with your health problems and do you feel confident in his abilities? Does he treat you with respect and consideration? Were you comfortable with him as a GYN before you heard the "news" or did you have doubts about his treatment of you? If you are comfortable with him and have no reason, other than your friends and families gossip, to doubt him then don't let them shame you into going to someone new--it could cause more problems in the long run. Best wishes whatever you decide.
