    Ps

    If you attended a female consultant for something and you asked her a question about an area that she does not specialise in ie prostate problems then she is going to refer you .

    Ie if you attended a lady cardiologist d asked her why you have x problem with your Penis then she is going to refer you on. This is not complaint worthy. she is only acting in her area of specialty.

    Saudi Arabia is a backward hole though.

    So they should be familiar with prostate checks.

    Would a women see a man doctor about a female issue? It doesn't happen.

    As others have pointed out, it does happen, all the time in fact. There are plenty male obstetricians & gynaecologists around. I'm a woman and I go to a male GP. He's seen me through various 'female issues' without any difficulty and when I needed referral to a gynaecologist it was to a male one, and I had no problem with that.

    As an aside, I'm a doctor myself, though not in a specialty that has gender-sensitive issues. Trust me when I say the female GP really really doesn't care about anything other that getting her job done properly and efficiently and she is not going to be embarrassed, shocked or uncomfortable about any symptom you report.
