why are women expected to frequently get OB/GYN checkups but male reproductive specialists are rare?
In: 32
The female reproductive system does more – not just produce gametes but also carry babies, it comes with a lot more to go wrong. A lot of gynaecological consults are related to period issues (including endometriosis) or post childbirth issues (continence and prolapse issues).
Also we have screening for cancer for women that requires an exam (cervical cancer screening), that is done by general practitioners in a lot of places that I think is done by ob/gyn in the US.
