    I want to put this question to the men of this forum, and also the women who have a valid point to make! I dont want to this to tunr into a battle of the sexes!

    Right here goes......why is it so DAMN difficult to get men to see a doctor? I mean serioulsy now right, they always have "other things" to do, if you found a lump in your testies wouldn't YOU go and see a doctor, or would you have "other things" to do?

    because sociaty puts a different level of expectations on men v women. Men are expected not to be "weak" ect and so they feel they cant ask for help (emotionally or physically) either from there partner or a proffessional

    I have made other threads on the same topic because it baffles me to LA.

    Mens health is an issue that im very interested in and the fact that womens health is always a greater issue than mens health infuriates me. Look at mortality and morbidity statistics on prostate cancer compared to breast cancer

    Going to the doctor is very long and boring.

    Becuase what underpaid, overfed, undersexed male would risk the chance of hearing that tiny lump is actually his scrotum?

    On topic:
    Father's been to the doctor only once, uncles, cousins once as well.
    Reason?
    Cough test.
    The male is strangely defensive of his groin.

    Ass:
    OOOHhh, society.
    Society gives him facial hair as well, I suppose.

    Between both, it is she who is likelier to know every crevice in her body down to her first wrinkle; she'd notice a lump the size of your girlfriend's ..never mind.
    *funeral grin*
    (you guys stilll together? Mated?)

    Further, a man is likelier to be working when clinics are open and not when closed; women overwhelmingly stay home during the day compared to the male. Under pressure of being the sole source of income in most cases, a man would need a lump the size of his ego to notice it.

    maybe in the US, however doctors are open till midnight now so that excuse doesnt really work or on the weekend. Men are terrifide of apearing weak to the point that they wont call an ambulance if they are having a heart atack. You have no idea how much that pisses ambos off because they can do ALOT more if people call for an ambulance as soon as they get chest pain rather than when there heart STOPS.

    Are those clinics or emergency rooms?

    If the latter, you'd rush to the ER for an embarassing boo boo on your choo choo?
    We're all "terrifide".
    Had a root canal 'bout a month ago and Mr. Dentist thought I was cold; took a whole day for me to stop, literally, trembling.


    I think you males fear another male's presence anywhere near that grotesque that is the male genitalia than you do actual pain.
    That you're a neurotic, territorial churl is what keeps you from the doctor- behold even the arrogance of calling them "Jewels"

    I do go to the quack( sorry it's the term I've always used) but only when I think there's a chance he ( my doc IS a he) can actually help.

    Very recently I went to get a lump in my nads examined.
    Turned out to be a minor cyst. I was a little alarmed when he calmy quipped that it wouldn't take long to whip it off ( he didn't clarify if he meant the cyst or the nutty)


    So I guess the jewels live to fuck another day!

    one of the reasons why she spends more time before mirror. for every wrinkle she expects 10 wrinkles on him. if not satisfied she finds some lump on his pump.

    Generally because men are scared of appearing weak in front of their wives.

    i would have to agree with the week in front of their wives bit.
    My husband won't even go and get his new health card, can't afford the time off work ya know.
    But the kids have the slightest cough and hes all over me to take them. In the almost 10 yrs we have been together, he went once, after his father died of cancer for a check up.
