Re: Do you prefer a male doctor or a female doctor for testosterone replacement ?

[Guest guest]

The first Dr. I found that was good on Hormones was a female Dr. but I later

found out it was her husband that was the expert. I have seen both and find

they are easy to talk to about sex and ED problems. Most Male Dr.'s would not

hold a conversation with you about it. Or ask questions about your problem let

alone go in to detail about it. Men just don't like to take about them problems

like women do.

I mean your in a bar and you turn to the guy next to you and say I hooked up

last night and the dam thing would not work. He would look at you put you down

or get up and move.

Still it's not about the sex of the Dr. it's about the Dr. if he is good or not.

I ended up seeing my Dr.'s husband some of my problems were over her head.

Still I can't talk about my sex problems with him I can tell he is not at ease

with talking about it.

All of my current docs are male, but I have been to females before.

Really makes no difference to me as long as they know what they are doing, and

will listen to me instead of dictating.

[Guest guest]

I read a study that generally women docs are more caring and on average spend

more ttime with patients.

But IMO a male doc might be more understanding from a males perspective.

I have just had cause to go to the doctors with a lump on my remaining

testicle (TC 1985) I took preference to a male doctor, in fact I think I may

well find it uncomfortable to talk to a female about such things, (Unless

she was 6' leggy, big boob's etc I may make a exception) Tim.

I am more comfortable with and have more positive experiences w/ female doctors.

Currently all my doctors are women.

that you feel comfortable talking to about these things is very important in my

opinion. I have never felt comfortable talking about these with a male doctor.

However, I feel comfortable talking about these topics with a female doctor.

Besides TRT will probably involve dropping your pants every once in a while. In

my case, I had the urologist examine my genitals once initially when I went in

for an evaluation and every 3 months or so to check for shrinkage of the testis

due to TRT. While I hate having to drop my pants every so often, I would hate it

even more if I had to drop it in front of a male doctor.

Hi,

my test doc is male

my pain/gp doc is male

but... when ex wife " broke my dick " (yes it's possible, she was a little drunk

and came down " off center " and there was blood everywhere... technically there's

no bone but it breaks some blood vessels)

the bleeding subsided in a few minutes, got then wife calmed down, and the next

AM I called the married female attractive secretary for the Urology department

(I worked for the state med school, urology just happened to be one of my

departments so I saw this woman regularly), explained the whole thing, and asked

if I needed to go to the ER or just make an appointment with one of her docs.

in Urology, obgyn, etc they deal with sexual apparatus ALL DAY... it's no big

deal.

I too heard of Dick breaking but did you get it fixed ? What's the treatment ?

surgery ?
