"How is this obstetrician and gynecologist a man, I want to change!" Should we promote feminization of obstetricians and gynecologists?

On December 7, "Heartwarming Offer3" sparked a hot debate on the Internet because of a debate competition , #Should we advocate the feminization of obstetricians and gynecologists#.

Square view

It is believed that there is gender embarrassment in obstetrics and gynecology examinations, and the clinical level of female doctors is no less than that of male doctors, which is conducive to reducing the workload of medical staff and improving efficiency.

Opposing views

It is believed that the patient's primary appeal is to get effective treatment as soon as possible rather than to obtain whose treatment, and medical education should train general practitioners, but "de-masculinization" will lead to the lack of knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology of male doctors.

Although some people think that the original intention of proposing this topic is to provoke gender confrontation blog traffic, but as of now, there have been nearly 20,000 comments under this Weibo, and the number of views of the topic has reached 260 million, which proves that this topic does have certain practical significance and is worth discussing.

So should feminization of obstetricians and gynaecologists be promoted?

Point 1: Feminization should be promoted

For most female patients, not all female patients are able to be honest with male doctors at the time of visit.

With the development of medicine, more and more outstanding female doctors have emerged, and their medical technology level is not lower than that of male doctors.

From the perspective of resource allocation of personnel, when facing obstetrics and gynecology patients, male doctors need to be present at the time of treatment, so does this consume more human resources?

Starting from the actual patient visit, there are indeed many women, and it is necessary to designate a female doctor when visiting the patient, if a male doctor is assigned to receive the patient, will it delay the patient's condition?

Point two: Femininity should not be advocated

Doctors are trained in the direction of general practitioners, not specialists, and if obstetricians and gynaecologists are feminized, it may lead to a lack of knowledge and skills of male doctors in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology.

For patients, getting timely and professional treatment should be put in the first place, rather than blindly advocating the feminization of obstetricians and gynecologists.

In fact, once the female group decides to go to the hospital for gynecological examinations, it must be because of certain problems in their bodies. Therefore, the male doctor of obstetrics and gynecology does not need to be too embarrassed when facing this examination of the ''privacy'' part, after all, it is the most important thing to cure the patient's body, if it is because of the embarrassing situation that occurs during the examination and thus delays the treatment of the patient's condition, it is contrary to his responsibility to become a doctor.

As a doctor, obstetricians and gynecologists need to be balanced by male and female doctors, and doctors can treat every patient without reservation and without distinction, which is the greatest respect for female patients.

In short, it is difficult to have a definitive conclusion on the topic of whether obstetricians and gynecologists need to be feminized.

However, when many women see gynecological diseases, they have entanglements in the psychology of male doctors, and there is mustard, which is also an indisputable fact. How the medical industry can ensure that patients receive the best treatment while at the same time meeting the psychological needs of women at the time of treatment will be a topic worth exploring in depth!
