More men can visit ob-gyns for conditions like pelvic pain and low testosterone after the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology did away with a rule that dictated boad-certified docs can only treat women except under very specific circumstances.
A U.S. professional group that certifies obstetricians and gynecologists has loosened a decades-old restriction on its board-certified members treating male patients, after mounting pressure from doctors and researchers.
The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) had previously said members could not treat male patients except in specific circumstances, such as circumcising babies, treating transgendered patients, and helping couples overcome infertility.

” treating transgendered”?
Back when I was married, My wife was in labor and I had a sinus infection. I asked her doc if he could prescribe an antibiotic for me.
He did. He said just tell the pharmacy your gynecologist prescribed that.
I didn’t but the pharmacy assumed the doc had made a mistake and bottled the antibiotic with my wife’s name on it.
Doctor, I hope you can help me with my pelvic pain.
My wife is having PMS. She asked me “does this make my butt look big?” and when I answered, she kicked me in the groin.
Can you help?
For what?
Finally!
Welcome to ObamaCare, where an ignorant bureaucrat in HHS will no doubt someday mandate prostate care for everyone regardless of sex. Isn’t that nice?
Sorry, can't. I have a gyno appointment.
WTF?
You think THAT is bad.. wait till you hear, “Scoot on down, scoot on down, keep scooting”. (the female Freepers will laugh at this!)
I’m allergic to some anti-biotics and when my husband takes them for sinus infection, I get a blistering allergic reaction in my lady parts.
If he went to my doctor, the doc would prescribe antibiotics that won’t make me want to kill him.
If it's good enough for the president...
You still may want to kill him
I'm pretty sure there's a "one thing led to another and then" section that you omitted at the comma.
I’d never tell anyone that I’m going to see my gynecologist.
Mr. NHD
Nope, he keeps me happy, happy, happy. And the world is kept safe from another angry deranged harpy.
He’s just another unthanked super hero in a thankless world.
I can hardly wait to get me feet in those stirrups.
