Why would a male want to be a gynecologist?it should not be allowed?

Answer 1

my gyno is male my first wasnt though and she missed a illness that he picked up life threatening i might add she would always say to me that oh i know what your going through or oh ive had that but the man doc say i will find why this is and what we can do about it

Answer 2

It used to be that all doctors were only male. There is nothing wrong with being seen by a male gynecologist.

I was scared the first time I went when my female primary care doctor referred me to this male gynecologist and it didn't help that he was attractive.

But after all of the issues that I have been through that he has treated me for which included surgery, I totally trust him and am very comfortable with him.

I now kinda would feel weird having a woman touch me as some of the other answerers have said.

Answer 3

Same reason why female wants to be a urologist.

Why should it be not allowed? I don't see why I should be more comfortable with a female gynecologist. I mean, should she be disgusted?

I sincerely believe they don't connect the 2 together anymore - their job and their sexual thoughts, or thoughts of how disgusting it is, for that matter. They all get to see a lot of sick women every day. I believe it really is not pretty.

Many clinics would ask you if you're OK if your gynecologist is male. If you're not OK with it just let them know. They understand.

Answer 4

I would think that most people, both male and female, who become gynecologists do so because they wish to help women with their health, with their sexual health in particular. This does NOT mean that they are sexually involved with their patients!!!! Your question, then, would also suggest that women not be nurses for male patients, because they might have to provide some care involving private matters? A good doctor or nurse of either gender has to have the professional "distance" not to victimize their patients, and such involvement doesn't really happen very often.

I think the solution is to train all medical professionals of both genders to behave professionally. Also, in most cases, when a gynecologist examines you, another person such as a nurse is in the room, to assist and also to help ensure that you're not molested. If you personally just feel very afraid about this, you can choose a doctor of the same gender as you (and hope that she is not a lesbian with poor personal boundaries!)

Answer 5

Oh come on! Some of the best gynecologists in the world are male. And it's not just healthy vagina's they look at, they quite often have to look at ones that would turn the stomach of a marble statue, so there's definitely no thrill in it for them.

Answer 6

Perhaps there is a lot more to it than you realise, and it is a really interesting and rewarding job. And I don't see why it should not be allowed. Yes, there are a few bad ones out there, as there are a few bad female ones, but the amount of good ones that really care, I'm sure by far outweigh the bad. You also have a choice about whether or not you are treated. You do not have to be treated by a male.

Answer 7

my gynaecologist is great. I didn't want to see a female because i felt criticised for my imperfections.

He performed an operation on me to make sure i could keep my baby, as he works at the hospital and had seen what had happened to me the last time i was pregnant when a stupid woman gynaecologist that I'd been seeing in town told me that i should carry on working whilst pregnant with the twin girls i was carrying and that it was normal to feel exhausted every minute of the day - nothing to worry about at all. What an idiot i was to listen to her. I lost them at 5 months due to an infection that the hospital said was brought on by my tiredness and i should not have been working.
So why do you say that only women should take this job?!

Answer 8

What!
Come on!
Lots of my friends from Med School are gynaecologists and are men! They are also obstetricians.
So would you say that you cannot have any female Urologists!
Its really narrow minded to make your comment.
No doctor even thinks of their patient in a sexual reference, and any exam is always performed in a professional and objective manner.
Doctors take the privacy and confidentially of their patients extremely seriously! The trust placed in them by their patients is honoured and respected.
If your argument was valid, then would the sexuality of the doctor also count? For example, a lesbian female doctor, would she have a problem in your opinion, or a homosexual male doctor being a urologist.
The answer of course is NO!
People do not become doctors to prey on their patients, but to help people.
Male friends who are gynaecologist and female friends who are Urologist are so because the excel in that specialty!

Answer 9

why shouldn't men, they have to go through the same training/education as women. I bet men get fed up with looking at the women bits all day long it's just a job nothing pleasurable so don't be embarrassed. Saying that i have a new male doctor i am a bit nervous but hey men feel like that when they see a female doctor/nurse. It's life get on with it.

Answer 10

Oh please, ever heard of equal opportunities???

Historically, women were not allowed to be doctors and practice medicine. That was changed over a century ago.

Now we have equal opportunities - there is no longer (legally) a reason to discriminate. This is also enshrined in Article 119 of the Treaty of Rome (the Treaty which established the European Union).

Answer 11

why not I have always had male doctors it's there profession nothing wrong with it. Actually I think it would be even more strange if the doctor was female. You can always choose to have a female doctor if it makes you feel more comfortable but it should be allowed for both
