Why did you consider my question regarding male gynaecologists worthy of deletion, I have to say that I am NOT very happy about this censorship at all, I am a woman with legitimate concerns regarding my body and healthcare, and to say that you do not HAVE to see a male doctor is a fallacy, on occassions you have no choice. I feel my concerns HAVE been answered by this censorship in the refusal of medical professionals to have this concern discussed openly
