Why are there more gynaecologists than andrologists?

[KaraBulut]

...when you help some geezer get his dick up for an hour? Makes me wanna be an andrologist.

Well, at least you'd be getting paid for it for a change.

*run*

Even assuming urologists is an euphemism for andrologists, all the above still doesn't explain why there are so very few andrologists versus gynaecologists. Boys receive an utter negative image of cock in education. Everything is done for it. No positive cock image whatsoever is given to boys in education. No cock and balls awareness (@Asenath) is given to boys. When men would receive a due cock and balls awareness, the number of androlgists would raise dramatically.

Moreover, the younger a woman when giving birth, the less a gynaecologist is required. Young girls give birth as easy as we ejaculate at that age. Gynaecologists get only required as women get order. So, the number of gynaecologists is only a cultural fact.

Your erection problems can be solved by a family physician, no need for a specialist. It used to be that gynecology as a field was very narrow in responsibility, but now not only they have to fix broken vaginas but focus on prenatal care and delivery. OBGYN specialty faces shortages but the demand is always there. The only time I hear guys go to a urologist is when they're reaching mid age with bladder control and prostate issues developing.

Or if your doctors are butchers like many in America are, like mine was, they enjoy cutting it seems.

whatever, you know doctors are just pharmacists trying to avoid lawsuits. if you ever seen the departed you would know what im talking about.

how i had to deal with my dermatologist because she was obsessed with defensive medicine to the point she was utterly useless to me.

the ONLY doctors who have given the SLIGHTEST DAMN about my well being have all been MALE DOCTORS who arent in the business of quackery or butchery or sadism. gullible bitches is what they are, sorry but its so true. if you dont have a dick i dont want to hear it.

however my best friend whos condition was not nearly as bad had no problem securing a prescription for the same medication.

doctors are fuckers in my book and i dont let them bullshit me, not after my post birth 'surgery' where they cut your dick off or when they dont give a shit that your skin is coming apart.

America, land of the WTF medicine.

Because not many people want to go to school to be a penis doctor, and not many people want to see a doctor who went to penis school.

 

[bulge]

I want to go to school to be a penis doctor.

 

[figjam]

Cause we call them urologists?

 

[figjam]

No way - you only see the sick ones - rather become a fluffer for a gay porn studio...

 

[teadrinker]

Swellegant is right (as he always is).

Because their lady parts are prone to more problems.

 

[bulge]

If you know any women, you are probably aware that there are thousands of awful things that can go wrong with their lady-parts. With birth control and periods and cancers and papillomae and yeasts and goddess-knows-what-else, the cooter barely gets a chance to rest. It's simply a more complicated mechanism than the male equivalent... just the fact that it's a two-way street, where the male genitalia are strictly one-way, doubles the issues involved.

And, as has been pointed out, we don't need andrologists (what an idiotic word!) because we already have urologists.

Men have been running the world and getting their way for thousands of years; we can take the backseat for a little while; and all this "Men's Movement" crap is little more than the tantrums of a thwarted child.

Too much Victorian societal thinking here.

1) Women get pregnant too late, which is exclusively culturally determined. Young women hardly need gynaecologists. Male sexual apparatus is as complicated as women's . We only ignore it as men obsessively studied the female apparatus and totally and purposely neglected the male apparatus. Or do you actually think prostate cancer is not a MAJOR problem?

2) I don't see any good reason to use an euphemism for andrologists.

3) I challenge you to name one field where men have ever ruled the world. Women only think men ruled the world. Men never ruled the world. Women have always ruled the world, but fortunately feminism is stupid enough to dig its own grave.

 

[Penguyen]

Ah-ha and we get to the real point. You're just a misogynist -- because no educated person thinks there's a widespread conspiracy against the male cock, or that female and male anatomy & physiology is so similar that in a world of external market forces, there must be equal OBGYN's as there are Urologists, and that women have really been ruling the world.

You clearly know nothing about women. Young women have problems with their genitourinary tracts that are completely unrelated to pregnancy. When men have PMS, menstrual cramps, massive hormone shifts, and dozens of potential infections completely unrelated to reproduction, then maybe "andrology" will become a real field. If men died during reproduction (as 10% of women did before the advent of gynecology), I can assure you andrology would have been the first field of medicine anybody ever studied.

2) I don't see any good reason to use an euphemism for andrologists.

Nor do I. Neither do I see why a field of medicine that is devoted to the genitourinary tracts of women is called Gynecology. Is that all that women are? Walking talking wombs? How come many of the diseases that fall under the field of "andrology" are routinely checked by my general practitioner, while the correlative diseases in women have to be addressed by a specialist? Do you not see that the inequality is again on the side of women and not men? If all doctors, male and female, are trained to treat male-only maladies but only specialists are trained to address female-only maladies, who is getting the special treatment? Who's being euphemized? Who is being marginalized?

3) I challenge you to name one field where men have ever ruled the world. Women only think men ruled the world. Men never ruled the world. Women have always ruled the world, but fortunately feminism is stupid enough to dig its own grave.

Have you lost your mind? Or do you come from a topsy-turvy Star Trek amazon planet in another galaxy? To answer your challenge: government, religion, and medicine, to name the top three; I could add arts, literature, philosophy, and commerce. Literally and figuratively, up until the last hundred or so years, women have had no power and no rights in at least the last four thousand years of human history; and in most non-European cultures, women still have no power and no rights.

I don't know why the misogyny I read on this board still has the power to shock me. But Jesus Criminy, WTF? Some of you guys really amaze me.

And seriously, at what time in your life were you ever not aware of your cock and balls, aware when there was something wrong with them, and not able to get treatment for any such problems from any doctor in the world? At what time in your life were the workings of your cock-and-balls life-threatening? I remember very clearly when my reproductive system became operative: it felt fantastic! I also clearly remember when my sister's reproductive system became operative, and she experienced incredible pain and mood swings and spewing blood for one week out of every four for the first year.

How anybody can compare those two comings-of-age and think that men get the raw end of the stick is completely beyond me.

Gynacolegists? wouldn't you rather be an archaeologist?
