men’s health doctor – what does that mean? after all, both men and women have many health needs in common. Routine blood pressure checks, screening and maintenance for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and cancers, treatment for injuries, infections and chronic illnesses, mental health screening and referrals can all fall under the umbrella of primary care – regardless of sex or gender. (getty images)
as children, boys and girls see the same pediatricians. Some kids may see adolescent medicine specialists for issues such as reproductive health, eating disorders and mood changes as they transition into adulthood. By the time they reach 18, however, health maintenance and scheduled doctors’ visits really begin to diverge.
When a heterosexual couple is planning on having a baby, it is most likely that the woman will stop taking her contraception and stop unhealthy habits such as smoking or drinking alcohol. The people surrounding the woman are likely to encourage her with this and giving her lots of (sometimes unwanted) advice for a healthy (pre-)pregnancy. But when the attempts to conceive a child fail, it is usually the women who undergo examinations and tests to identify the reasons. [i] however, a 2012 study from the centers for disease control and prevention in the united states [ii] showed that only one third of infertility cases are caused by female reproductive problems: one third of infertility cases are caused by problems on the male side, and one third by factors on both sides or reasons unknown.
