Kim, quite true. Israfil,
Well, yes but in a not so long destint past being a doctor of any sorts was basically male and its only recently that women are in areas where once it was just men, I think even now women doctors have a hard time getting past this fratenity of men. I personally think OB/GYN should be left to women you ask:
oh sure, there is, you as a man and other men do not know what a woman goes thru what she feels
Well, yes and you say the knowledge of a female gynecologist and male gyneocologist are the same, physically yes but a woman does have an advantage over a male somewhat Women understand women better on an emotional and intutive level this is where and what women want most of all, but I will admit that some women can be rough as Kim mentioned and in my experience women some, don't understand another because they do not have or go thru the same as the other woman. I often think I perfer a woman examining me but honestly I would just want a doctor that is sensitive and gentle towards me. and also up with the world and the advance in the medical profession. Ummmziba,
Usually that is through no fault of their own but because of the male domination of this area and hardly women ob/gyn that women do get used to it having a male. But if there was a chance I believe many would see a female. Edited by Angel |

Angel you said:
>>>I personally think OB/GYN should be left to women<<< I personally think that is a sexist comment LOL Angel you said: >>>Well, yes and you say the knowledge of a female gynecologist and male gyneocologist are the same, physically yes but a woman does have an advantage over a male somewhat <<<< This is true for both men and women....Women don't know the mind of men as all men think differently just as all women think differently ( i mean different in the sense of individual personality). As far as human anatomy yes there is the advantage because men do not go through life cycles like women yes in this manner I agree. Angel said: >>>Women understand women better on an emotional and intutive level this is where and what women want most of all<<< This may be true but this is an assumption of the negative because you're saying that male gynecologist do not understand women or just some? Overall those are good points but to me that is kind of sexist. Sister Ummziba came from the Quranic standpoint because she believes that the examination of the woman's genitalia (yes I am being grammatically brutal here don't be squeemish!) is not modest if the male doctor is examining but as Kim says they are just patients. Not to be so cruel in metaphors but its the same with being a sandwich maker you make a 1000 sandwiches if someone makes your sandwich it is not like its the first time for the sandwich artist because they've made 1000 others before yours. Again in their minds ots about professionalism and trying to advance the human condition but in your mind your are embarassed because he is examining your lower area. To me it wouldn't matter. Each examination is meant to save your life so why does it matter what sex they are? Now you ladies mention the standpoint of emotion.... Ok let's go there then. Yes its understandable and true that women are attentive to other women. I believe the connection of understanding is there, but I don't believe that it should have any bearing on sex because the male doctor can be as emotionally inclined as the female. Ladies there are some sensitive men in the world!!!!!! As for the rules of modesty I don't think one oversteps those rules because this is for the purpose of examination. Now there are cultures who feel that modesty plays a part and as an Americvan I think its wrong but I respect their views nontheless. Again ladies as Kim mentions these individuals both men and women, ar skilled at what they do have performed many examinations over and over and over. Comfort level has no comparison to one who can possibly save your life. To me I'd rather choose a highly skilled doctor be it male or female. |

Israfil, I agree with Angel. I suppose most women, muslim and non-muslim would too. I strongly feel that practicing OB/GYN should be left to women. Although studying it to further their professional understanding though is a fine for a Muslim man. Psychological and physical comfort depends on past experiences and perceptions. No matter how much a man studies about the anatomy of a woman, he is not a woman, and therefore the women doctors would have at least that distinct advantage when it comes to treatment and understanding. I wouldn't however go as far as Ummziba who "...would rather die than go to a male ob/gyn..." There are exceptions to every rule and Allah knows All. |

Had the same expierence here Kim and I will never go to another female Gyno! The OB/GYN that did my C-Section is the best in the buisness where I live and knowing that why on earth would I trust my health and my pregnancies to anyone else?

Assalamu alaikum, I'll never read this thread at bedtime again. Last night I dreamed I gave birth. It was my fifth child. It was a boy, I named him Omar Mustafa. The labour was not too painful. Now the scary part - it was a male doctor, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh . Peace, ummziba. |
