Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 So I had to take my son (9 in july, aspergers) to the pediatrician for fifth's disease. When she was checking his rash - she peaked down his pants to see if there was a rash there. She sent him out of the room and told me we had to see an endocronologist to make sure it isn't premature puberty (he has hair down there). She gave me some doctor's names but I'm trying to decide how important it is to have a male doctor. I can't ask my son because he will obsess on this and have anxiety about it until we get to the doctor and probably will after we go but I'm not planning to tell him anything until a day before the appointment. Anyone have thoughts on the matter? I've had recommendations for both male and female docs (more females) ... Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
