Why Do Men Fear the Urologist?

(Well here you will just have to guess what I input... doesn't come in color, sorry)
Duh!
And there you have it in a single guttural sound. For emotionally inarticulate men (that's most of us, in case you're wondering), the single word "duh" may suffice as the unspoken explanation for the fears (Disgust)— legitimate or unfounded — associated with visiting the urologist, a doctor who specializes in examining and treating the medical conditions of the male pelvic region. (where straight men don’t go. DUH!)
In this case, "duh" can be translated, literally or figuratively, as "don't go there." As in: don't go to the urologist if you don't have to (Double DUH!). Don't go down "there" with rubber gloves on. And don't go down that conversational road, unless you expect to be met with squeamish looks or insecure laughter from your male peers (almost sounds like a homosexual challenging straight men, so he can violate straight men via, anal or penile … doesn’t it? ) who will, by the way, beg you to stop talking). (Because talking about those things, are inherent to women and gays… not Straight Males. There is a definite difference… DUH!)
Dr. Martin Resnick, professor and chairperson of the urology department at Case Western University, is keenly aware of this. "In my observation, women can discuss sexuality and sexual health issues much more openly than men (That might be why we are called MEN… not women or gays. DUH!)" So does that mean guys avoid the subject altogether? Not exactly. "Certainly men think about it, but women verbalize it." (But… do women want their men to become women? I’m sure they don’t… feminine problems mandate their acceptance to indignities when it comes to their health… men don’t, and haven’t… DUH!)
You'll rarely hear guys engaged in serious, productive talk about testes (say what?), urethras or prostate glands. Forget it. It just doesn't happen (ain’t Football is it?). There's a reason guys use the word “privates.” (yes it’s less vulgar and it covers the entire scope, of what is not mentionable in polite society… man to man. Ladies...did you really mean to marry another woman, maybe you wanted to marry a gay person? Or did you want a MAN... we are different... even though Urologists think we should all be gays, so we can talk freely about each others PRIVATES! As we flutter about... Double DUH!!)."
Dr. Resnick says that the problem is rooted in that culprit of old: the fragile male ego. "Men are reticent to go to the doctor—any doctor—to begin with (because of the doctor’s incessant need for nudity, I’ll say it again, it’s not what, or how the Doctor sees “IT”, it’s how the Patient sees “IT”, that bothers the straight male patient. DUH!). When you hone it down to the urologist, who is primarily dealing with the genital region, you have a lot of hesitation. (because there is the bewilderment of... “Who would make his livelihood dealing with his same gender’s “PENIS” and “ANUS”? Straight MEN... cannot fathom anyone wanting to touch another man’s sexual organs, or the nasty ***, let alone have their face in that part of another man’s “ANATOMY”… yes it’s that hard to talk about. DUH!)
"And if there is a health problem, it's like an attack on the patient's manliness, on his view of himself as an omnipotent male (or maybe just having/keeping all of one’s parts? DUH!). He feels threatened. A man's image of himself, especially as he gets older, is tied to his sexual health and performance (sounds like the gay urologist's want to castrate all straight males over 50… doesn’t it? You can always do without this one little part… it just affects all the rest of your health and sexual life, but you can get by… "Take out the Urologist’s parts instead"… see how anxious the Urologist is then. DUH!). If he remains sexually virile, perhaps he's not really aging." (perhaps he just doesn't want to be displayed nakedly, to the universe… once all records are digitized … not to separate the Urologist from his fun and profit though. DUH!)
So there's the potentially devastating "bad news" factor, but that's not all. For guys, there's no getting around the thought of the urological physical exam. Certainly any adult male who's seen the movie Fletch(Chevy Chase dryly utters, "Using the whole fist, doc?") has a distorted perception of what happens when the doctor dons the latex glove. But is there really anything to worry about? (I’ve been there, and had nearly all of the violations… DRE’s, Cystoscopy, Endoscopy… including the dreaded Colonoscopy… so this man is shooting from his anus! DUH!)
"It is one of the most commonly cited fears (Fears? They give them selves too much credit)," corroborates Dr. William F. Gee, health policy chair at the American Urological Society. (again it’s not fear, it DISGUST) However, Dr. Gee says that the rectal exam (typically done using a finger or ultrasound probe) is "a brief and essential component of a urologic exam in an adult male, and especially in the older male." Rectal exams are typically used to test for nodules or abnormalities on the prostate gland, which may indicate cancer. Dr. Gee says that it's unusual to feel much pain from the procedure. (It still violates the man’s perception, of MAN… I’ve had DRE’s from both male and female doctors… I’ll promise you, the female not only did a better job… it was more tolerable… female to male. It’s possibly the major issue to a lot of straight MEN. DUH!)
Perhaps even more alarming to men is urethral catheterization, or the passing of a rubber tube through the opening of the penis (starting to panic yet?... "Is that your life’s mission?"), up the urethra, through the prostate and into the bladder to test for residual urine. However, Dr. Gee notes that this procedure is not as commonly performed today (whew!). (Had a Cystoscopy as well, bleeding from my bladder… It is not a pretty sight! The Urologist kept telling me, over and over, not to get an erection… I’m sure he thought he was being humorous, or cute… IT OFFENDED ME to the point, I had to tell him… “I don’t get hardons for men!” DUH!)
"Instead," Gee points out, "we use an ultrasound procedure very similar to the one used on pregnant women." A lubricating jelly is placed on the lower abdomen and an ultrasound probe is moved over the examination area to look for existence of residual urine. Should catheterization be necessary, adds Dr. Gee, an anesthetic lubricating jelly is usually injected into the urethra ahead of time to diminish discomfort. (Here we go again, male hands, holding and poking things into another man’s Penis, it’s the homosexual perception from the "mind’s eye" of the straight male patient. Straight men won’t talk about it, they for sure wouldn’t do it… DUH!)
Then there's the male vasectomy, an outpatient surgical procedure that many couples turn to for birth control (yep, and I had that one done as well… guess why I have a HARD time going to UROLOGISTS… BEEN THERE!). Though the procedure itself may sound uncomfortable—for a whole host of reasons—the vasectomy is actually quite minor by urology standards (if that’s considered minor… Hate to feel what’s next, that needle they poked into my Testicles HURT, all the way into my abdomen, like falling from your bicycle pedal, onto the cross bar… only for a few seconds, but not painless, as Urologists will let you believe). Most vasectomies don't even fall into the "going under the knife" category. Urologists often use a special instrument to "poke" a hole in the skin and spread it open, rather than cutting it with a scalpel. This technique usually heals faster than traditional cutting. (Gosh… I’ve been poked by Ice picks… I guarantee it hurts, and that wasn’t in as sensitive an area, and it was by accident… not suffering, waiting for the Dr to “stab” him. DUH!)
Dr. Gee says that patients typically recover from vasectomies in a week or less. Many even return to work the next day. The entire event is relatively quick and painless. (Quick, NOT painless)
In addition, urologists perform lots of other clinical and surgical procedures that are vital to maintaining optimum sexual and physical health. (They also perform procedures that END A MAN’S LIFE… sexually… sometimes by the SLIP of a knife. DUH!)
So once and for all, Bub, (BUB?) get it into your head: the urologist is your friend (not mine!). And if you're still feeling anxious or flat-out scared (they still don’t get it… it’s not fear… it’s NAKED DISGUST), remember this overriding principle: they’ve literally seen it all. (It’s not what or how they see “IT ALL” it’s how “I see IT” that bother’s ME… and a lot of other STRAIGHT Men! And if they are all knowing, all seeing… why can’t they understand the Straight Male’s Avoidance?)
You're in good hands, so to speak. (Not until Urologists figure out how to take the homosexual image out of their profession.)

ONCE again, the medical establishment has the reasons for Straight Male avoidance, all wrong! IT's the exposure and being "fondled" by a same gender person (fondling is in the mind's eye of the "beheld" not the "beholder", the patient, not the doctor).
Doctor or not... in these days of promiscuity, and homosexuals rampant upon today's society..., Straight Males can ill afford to be fondled, by the sickness of homosexuality .
And then, there is the mind's eye... Most Straight Men don't strip naked, for men (nor stand naked before other men).
Straight men don't stick fingers... or other objects into other men's rectums, or tickle other men's colons, or massage their prostates... Or handle, by whatever terminology the doctor wishes to utilize... another man's "PENIS"... all this is HOMOSEXUAL in application.
So... until you can get the nasty out of the urological exam... straight males are going to avoid UROLOGISTS... till the fatal moment, when it's do, or die.
I'm writing this because, I have to go see one, and I dread the thought of a man..."palpating" my PRIVATES.
No matter what Doctors think they know, they sure don't know the male psyche, or they would understand the reasons WHY!
Only one fact remains, Doctors are trying to EMBARRASS men to come in, be "FONDLED", anally violated, and be more thoroughly embarrassed.
Of course, the obvious reason that these Urologists want more MEN to come in... Simply, so they can make more money... and Urologists are definitely... NOT MY FRIENDS.
AND... just why, are there so few Urologists, that are women...
Why only men? Must be a reason for this. I'd use a Urologist that is a Natural Born Woman... not to strip naked and be touched by a woman... rather… not to strip naked and be touched by another male.
Now... there is about enough explanation, which even an Urologist can understand.
An opinion I wrote for another site; “Medical News Today”

Lying naked in a hospital, having a group of people present, as another man shoves a cable up one's anus, is not the straight male's idea of a good time... Make it like on TV in "Prime Time" at the very least, covered completely, with only that "access hole" exposed, and keep dignity for the patient "foremost" in the proceedure, and MAYBE you'll have more takers! And NO EXTERNAL PHOTOS like they took of mine, splayed naked like a male prostitute in a gay brothel... I'll never return for another! There is nothing about the internal colon, nor the prostate that can be photographed externally! The commom man (you are trying to convince, to allow you this access)... is not a porn star, and with today's threats of digitized medical records... another extremely valid reason, for urologist avoidance... like Identity theft and financial records theft... the homosexual porn industry is foaming at the bit... waiting for the chanced to expose millions of straight male backsides.
You cannot protect anything, available on computers!
I'm writing this because, I now have to go see a urologist, and I dread the thought of a man..."palpating" my PRIVATES.
No matter what Doctors think they know, they sure don't know the male psyche, or they would understand the reasons WHY... straight men avoid this profession... like the black plague... and it's not fear... it's disgust!
