Why are there so many guys in the medical field of gynaecology?
Firstly there are more male doctors than female anyway. We have come a long way in the last hundred years, but the medical profession is still dominated by men. From my own experiences female doctors do not like dealing with “women’s problems” if you’ll excuse the expression. Female doctors often don’t like being reminded they also face the risks of cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer etc. They treat a patient for breast cancer and think “that could so easily be me”. Also many women tend to enter fields such as paediatrics, radiology and general practice. These fields are more “family friendly”. Radiology and general practice in paticular (these tend to be monday to friday, 9 to 5 jobs).
