Who do men become gynecologists?!


Question: Who do men become gynecologists!?
Before I go on with this question, I just wanted to clarify that I am not trying to be sexist!. I'm just puzzled about something and I wanted to find a legitimate answer to my question!. Please don't get offended by this question!

I find it interesting that there are so many men in the field of gynecology and I was wondering whether there was a reason for this or whether it's just a coincidence!. I also find it surprising because I thought that women wouldn't be comfortable having someone of a different gender check them for problems!. There are also a lot of young girls out there with health issues and I thought that it would be much more comfortable for them to see a women gyno specialist!.

Once again, this is just a QUESTION so please don't get upset by it!. Why do men become gynos!?

Thank you sooo much, and once again, I hope that no one gets offended by this!. I was just wondering this!.!.!.
Plus, I still have a lot to learn so I could've just been misled!.

Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

From my research, it's the opposite - most women do not want another woman examining them!.

Men choose OB/GYN as a speciality because 1) it deals with new life - the best part of humanity, and 2) it's a big demand specialty!. There is always a shortage of OB's!.

Women doctors, particularly those who also want to raise a family, have a difficult time being OB's because of the hours involved!. An OB is on call 24/7!. One of the drawbacks of the speciality!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most Gynecologists are also Obstetricians (OB/GYN), as to why!? Who knows!. Personal interest, open field with lots of opportunity, fate, plenty of reasons!. OB/GYNs also help with childbirth, etc!. and lots of men are interested in that field!.

I highly doubt for most people it's for any sexual reason!. After a while, every vagina looks the same, or looks "different" in a not so hot way!. And it's more of an "engine to tinker with" than an object of sexual desire!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My gynecologist is a man and I have never had a problem with it!.!.!.!.even when I first started going to see him when I was around 18 or 19 years old!. I think, for men, they really love children and love the aspect of women being pregnant and helping deliver the baby!. I don't think it has anything to do with them just doing it to see lots of women naked!. I mean, imagine the MANY different kinds of women they see - it isn't like they see super models every patient!Www@Answer-Health@Com

People typically go into fields they find fascinating or where they think they can make the most impact!.

I mean, it's the same way when a female becomes a testicular specialist, some men may be uncomfortable by it!. In the end, people who are doctors are doing their jobs and are not doing something sexual or doing something that should be sexually uncomfortably; they are all very professionalWww@Answer-Health@Com

There are many reasons , some that you probably have assumed!.
Most important is the what the person does not want to do !. Surgery , podiatry , E!.R!. etc
Then decide what field is needed in the area they serve!.
OBGYN is a safe field considering that people conceive , regularly , and check ups insure a steady income!.
So , although I'm sure there are pervs in every field , I wouldn't worry!.
Wouldn't you rather have a doctor that loves vagina's , rather than one who goes " ICKY !!! YUCKY !!"Www@Answer-Health@Com

This might help!. A famous surgeon and his son were in a terrible traffic accident!. The surgeon/father was pronownsed DOA!. His son was Air Rescued to the nearest ER upon arrival When the surgeon on duty examined the child !.The doctor exclaimed " I can't operate on this child he is my son!.

After a lot of conversations with friends, I've come to the conclusion that many men know more about the female anatomy than women!. Just the other day, I saw a question on here from a girl asking if a penny in your bra will make your breasts bigger!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They do what any other doctor would do, help people and find out whats best for the patient!. Just because they see female parts all day doesnt mean they're not professionals!. It's just like any other doctor!. They went to school for 8 years, do u think its a joke!?


Its a doctor!.!.!.!.!.end of storyWww@Answer-Health@Com

maybe just like the idea of it, maybe they are interested in it!. a perverted answer could be that they like look at womens stuff, but thats probably not true for MOST of them!. its just something they wanted to do as they got older!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've heard that they like the helping/delivering babies and bringing new life into the world!. Figuring out if something goes wrong in delivery for the Mom or baby and how to help!. The other stuff they do just comes with the territory!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Men were doctors long before women were
so they know the body inside out

They become gynecologist because
or any doctor because if another place state or country
offers more money they go there

Maybe because it is an easier area than say, neuro-surgery and such, and so if these guys want to advance their career, they see it as an easier option!.

Question to you!. Don't you try to protect the things you love!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

its like getting to third base without even having to try to impress the woman!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not sure its a really good question tho i think it is just a coincidenceWww@Answer-Health@Com

Honestly, when a person goes to medical school to become a doctor, they don't know what field they will end up specializing in!. They all go through basic courses of study and at the end they apply for internships in certain fields and they may aplly to 6 or 7 different ones and only get accepted in to 1 or 2!. So for the most part they "fall" into gynecology!. It's nearly impossible for a person to set out from the start wanting to be a gynecologist and achieve it!. If you ask you'd find well over 90% of ob/gyn's didn't know they were going into that field when they entered medical school!. A lot of women are ok with male gynecologistsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Why would a woman want to be up to her elbows in girl junk all day!? Has that ever occurred to you!?

Don't worry, your gyno isn't dying of lust for you!. It's just his job!. Your stuff isn't that special!.

20 years ago, most doctors of every specialty were men!. Many of them are still practicing now!. Also, it's a great specialty because every woman has to see a gynecologist and delivering babies is probably very rewarding!.

I don't see having a male gyno as any different than having a male optometrist or a male gastroenterologist!. They're DOCTORS!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i think in my opinion they want to learn about the woman's body as much as they can and ofcourse see women and their inner body parts and the real organs of a womens body!. they just want to understand how we work how our system works!.!.!.etc i guess!. i know i would also hate to go to a male gynocologists!.!.!.!.!.itz just so hard to talk to them!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Their smarter in all aspects of life, yes including your private parts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
