Question

The best gynecologist can be only a woman and the best urologist can only be a man.  Because you can't really be most competent about parts which you just don't have and do not know personally.

TonyV · Accepted Answer

Disagree. Having the parts dosent mean you know anymore about the parts. I've heard plenty of guys who don't understand how dick and balls work, and I've heard from uniformed women that know less about vaginas than I do.

The only reason I would prefer a guy is if I had some pain I never felt before cause maybe he's felt it and knows what is, but what if he's never had the issue? He'd just be going off book learning just like a female uroligust. Like testicular twist or torsion, whatever it's called I don't know, it's a very rare condition so I would expect to ever meet a guy who's experienced it, it's basically just a textbook learned thing, so a girl is just as likely to know how to examine it.

I also see nothing a man couldn't learn about a vagina.

Personal lived experience isn't enough to make either man or woman an expert with their own organs.

Well, not necessarily, no.

There are other factors to consider, as well, such as experience and education, to name two. I would rather have the urologist that took school seriously, is well respected within the community, and went to a well regarded institution, than the one who partied their butt off every weekend at a crummy school, and is reagarded as a joke by their peers.

If the former was a female, and the latter was a male, then I would rather go see the female. You don't automatically have a better grasp of the subject matter, simply by virtue of having said equipment, unfortunately. Not all oncologists have had cancer, yet they are still qualified to treat it, after all.

I don't think it's about competency in knowing body parts if the doctors don't know anatomy then I'd be running for the hills if I was under them for any reasons. it's about empathy and sympathising with the patient and the only way to do that is put yourself in their shoes as to how you'd feel and you can only understand if the same sex as your patient my opinion is based on my sons urologist who was female who didn't have any idea of how he was feeling kept putting the operation off saying he'd grow out of it after a few years and no better with the regime we had been told to do I had a second uroligst who was a male give his opinion within a year he had his operation would have been sooner but pandemic caused it to be pushed back the male could understand how my son was feeling and he asked him what he wanted due to the feelings

I remember debating this topic with friends lol. I go back and forth. I’m not sure if I agree or disagree, because I know there are really educated male gynos and female urologists who are just as good as the other…. BUT I think they know the feeling that patients (of the same sex) come in describing, since they have probably experienced it.

For example, if a woman came in describing some detailed pains in her vagina or uterus, the female doctor will most likely know the diagnosis immediately and understand that feeling of pain, since she has experienced it.
However, male gynos are just as educated and know all about the specific things that women will probably come in describing, since they are licensed and have been practicing… But they just have never experienced it personally.

Boromir · Answer

Disagree. Many men will have no clue about the penis and balls other then that they feel good when touched.

I assume that there are many similar women.

Bodies come in two different versions, medical training doctors follow touches on both version.

LikeALog · Answer

No, I don't consider it to be true.

My first urologist was male. I moved and had to find a new urologist.

I was referred to a practice and only the female doctor was accepting new patients. She is my urologist although occasionally I see her Nurse Practitioner who is also female.

Both are in my opinion as competent as the male doctor. Actually, they listen to what I say and answer my question or respond to my comments better than the male doctor.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I can seeing a vet will be a bugger.

So should a farmer make sure he calls a women Vet to birth his calf that’s breach?

I don’t agree really.

There is not really such a thing as exact.

for example the the guy may have a better bedside manner, the woman me be very abrupt.

who they works best.

ideally yes someone with a body part should in theory be better.

Life is not like that though.

in Hospital A it’s the guy.

in hospital B it’s the girl.

why are there not as many women that do breast reconstruction surgery?

Plastic surgery and linked is very male dominated.

personally I don’t care who I see.

A friend is my doctor and she’s had her fingers up my ass and done my bits as well lol.

yeah in theory in some ideal world it could work….

dustybiker · Answer

School doesn't teach bedside manner. They either have the ability to ease the minds of the opposing gender in patients or they don’t. For that answer I look to feedback from patients themselves on yelp and the like.

SaoirseS · Answer

I disagree. The urinary tract is not exclusively male, so that doesn’t even make sense.

Lyndsielee666 · Answer

My female Ob was god awful but the guy I had was actually a sweetheart. Guess it depends

DonkeyDan · Answer

I'm not sure I agree, it is very evident from here that most people know jsck about their own parts and anatomy of the genitals. The only extent to which I would agree is that only a woman knows how it feels to have a vagina, and only a man knows what it feels like to have a penis and testicles, so from that point of view yes definitely, but I don't know of how much that would make one better over the other.

pixie215 · Answer

no i dont agree with that. i think its more about being more comfortable, lets face it no one wants to go to either no matter what gender the drs are

jshm2 · Answer

No. Don't be silly.

There were few recognised female careers until the female suffrages. Hence that blows your assertion out the water regarding female career choices in nearly any field before the 1920's.

Also, few women have won Nobels, tenure, King Abdullah II Award's etc in any fields in a consistent enough manner to even come close to qualifying your assertion.

Lastly a lot of insight and breakthroughs were down to luck or chance, gender and familiarity had little to do with anything.

Hence not even the principle of your assertion is true. As most success and insight is by those who knew little, worked their way up, or who were at the right place at the right time.

GenaBaby1995 · Answer

My boyfriend made to change because he hear me say how hot 🔥 my gynecologist was, Lol She ok not very pretty either :(

Bricealan · Answer

I prefer a woman for any procedure, with the exception of probably a prostate digital check. My experience with women surgeons, et al, is that women are far superior in knowledge, skill and communication.

Citizenkirk · Answer

No. My dad's urologist was a woman and my aunt's gynecologist is a man

Laura131 · Answer

Not sure if necessarily would be better. But I can agree on it would be easier to go wist somone who has same bodey parts as me.

josephinelcajon · Answer

Mixed feelings because I do believe that having a penis you just know how it works BUT doesn't mean a woman couldn't be better!

Dargil · Answer

I tend to agree,

exitseven · Answer

I see a male urologist and I think it is easier for me to talk to him and probably easier for him to relate to my problems. However female doctors usually have a gentler touch and smaller hands. I saw a female urologist once and I appreciated the soft touch.,

Massageman · Answer

I'd say that the better doctor in each specialty is the one you should use, regardless of sex.

KatherineJ · Answer

I’m not sure, but I go to a female gynecologist.

reyesdavina · Answer

i don't think so. I mean doctors go to school for a reason. I'm sure a doctor would know more then even the average person knows about their own stuff. Regardless of sex or gender.
