Read the 10 Reasons Men Don't See A Doctor

Sitting around.
According to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health, the main reason why men do not visit the doctor is the waiting time involved. reluctance of men to visit the doctor anyway is only compounded by the amount of waiting time.

Shame.
Men find it difficult to speak of the intimate emotions, sexual difficulties, mental health problems such as stress and depression or physical problems that can affect the bowel or genital areas. Even the exchange of information with a best friend can be an embarrassment for both the person and his friend. Why? men are just not used to it and as a result of these situations are uncomfortable and to be avoided.

Men exaggerate the negative qualities of health care.
As part of its rationale, many men are reasons why health services are insufficient, a waste of time, more expensive, etc. Sometimes this is little more than an excuse, but there are times when a doctor visit leaves men feeling genuinely dissatisfied - and this can be for any number of reasons.

Health Services are feminized.
Dr Ian Banks, president of the Forum Men's Health, found that men and health professionals are health services that men feel unwelcome. One reason is the feminized form health practices are organized in terms of decoration and the bias of information to women. The men said they wanted to see more men magazines, posters of men's health, or even movies. Why, asks Ian Banks, surgery can not be held in bars, golf clubs or other places men are likely to be?

In 40 years, mostly men seen in terms of medical emergencies, surgery, or dealing with sick people. In these terms, men see much point in going to the doctor unless something is very obviously wrong with themselves.

Men are not socialized to visit the doctor.
John W. Saultz, MD, professor and chairman of Family Medicine at Oregon Health Sciences University said that about 16 girls continue to visit the doctor for routine gynecological care or maternity while the contact men often stops. This helps explain why the waiting rooms are almost always full of women, children and the elderly. This is a situation that many men are uncomfortable and find it difficult to associate with.

Defects are signs of weakness.
This refers to the issue of socialization. Not only visits to the doctor signal disease or an inability to cope, may seem to many men, to say something about masculinity. Many men simply prefer to grit our teeth and hope "that" will disappear.

The fear of being judged.
A common concern among men is that their problem or physical condition is unique. Nothing could be further from the truth and the chance that your doctor did not come across your situation before they are so small they do not deserve much thought.
