How can I find a doctor to accompany me?

It is not necessary to consult an andrologist, gynaecologist, or urologist first, unless you have an associated pathology requiring specialist advice.

Here's how to find the medical joint:

1. Read the patient information form. 
2. Make an appointment with your GP. Bring the form mentioned above and the protocol from the Andro-Switch documentation, as well as the ring or your testicular lifting tool if you've already purchased one. Simply explain what you're doing, and they should generally agree to follow your lead. If they refuse, or asks you to see a specialist for any reason, follow these steps:
   1. Contact your local family planning organisation and ask if they can provide your first consultation and/or recommend a GP.
   2. Contact a doctor from the list on the Gyn&co  website or from this map of doctors trained and/or informed in natural contraception.
3. Contact our expert users by e-mail at Thoreme or the ARDECOM association. 

Warning:

Remember that a doctor's code of ethics includes their freedom of conscience, which cannot be questioned. For example, this principle was one of the factors that enabled the legalization of abortion in France. According to Article L2212-8 of the French Public Health Code, "a doctor is never obliged to perform an abortion," nor is any midwife, nurse, or medical auxiliary required to assist in this medical act.

In other words, a doctor cannot be forced to support you, but you can easily ask another doctor to assist you.

On this page page of the Gyn&co website, you can add the doctors who have agreed to follow you with thermal, hormonal or vasectomy contraception. This will help future users in their efforts.
