Menopause, Hormones and Women’s Sexual Health with Dr. Rachel Rubin

Rachel Rubin· Guest0:00

And let me just say, as a urologist, nobody expects me to take care of all of a man's health needs. No man comes to see me for all of his medical care, and he shouldn't. He should have several different doctors that take care of him. So the mere fact that we have OBGYNs and they are expected to take care of a woman once a year for 15 minutes with your legs up in stirrups, and that's medical care for the rest of your life, is unconscionable. And so women have to stop expecting their OBGYNs to know everything about their bodies, 'cause they simply don't. Why does an OBGYN know about your heart? I don't know about a man's heart as a urologist to the level that a OBGYN is expected to know about breast cancer and heart disease and bone health. It makes no sense.
