why are women expected to frequently get OB/GYN checkups but male reproductive specialists are rare?
In: 32
Women have internal genitalia, men have external genitalia. In many cases, it’s easier for men to detect a problem on their own and go to a doctor to have it checked out. With women, if it’s inside of us, we won’t always know there’s anything happening. For example, I have uterine fibroids. My only symptom was a slightly irregular period, which is common and not usually cause for alarm. When I went for my annual, my doctor ordered tests and that’s how I found out.
