Radiation or surgery and life after treatments

@normsie 

All that is important to me is to have a private male procedure.  No abuse by these females.

I have agreed to further trauma counseling to try to address this issue.   Men are so severely underrepresented in urology that it is not always possible to obtain a male nurse practitioner.  This issue is not being addressed by the medical community.  If women we underrepresented affirmative action would be taken to rectify the under-representation.  Only once have I had a male NP and he was borrowed from another of their facilities because of my complaint and yet women were still dominant in the procedure.  They even tried to invade the dressing room in a group and objected to the steps taken by my male protector to secure a procedures respectful of my dignity, privacy and safety.  This problem will persist until men are given the same right as women to control our own bodies.  I have never had a urological procedure without a room full of female participants and observers.  When I questioned the doctor just how many women are needed to give a man an examination,  his curt condescending response was, "As many as needed."

I am so desperate that I have hoarded pain killing drugs from other procedures and take a tranquilizer to try to deal with the pain and humiliation inflicted by females during urological medical procedures.

We must continue to fight for a man's right to control his body.  We must stop this abuse of men.

Hi, I think you would be better focusing on a positive outcome of your treatment. I did 40 days of Hydrotherapy after my radiation for cancer and the nurse there was above and beyond great, she still follows up with phone calls months later. I have a male urologist who is a fine doctor. I understand your concern about male representation, but i don't think all nurses are "out to get you"

@looper Thank you looper.  I would love to be more positive and focus on the treatment, but I cannot live with the abuse.  I see no medical reason for a man to have his private and sensitive body parts abused.   There is no excuse for a female to seize control of a man's private body parts without his consent.  There is no reason that only females are hired as urology nurses.  At the very least a male chaperone should be present to ensure professional treatment.  Maybe they aren't all  "out to get me,"  but every female who wishes to abuse men is hired in urology.  I thought the Red Cross nurses were bad when they try to drive the needle through a man's arm into the table or enter a vein sideways, but they are amateurs in torture compared to female urology workers.  I want the right to refuse to be required to have a female seize control of my genitals and to torture me as she pleases.

@prostatecnr Sorry, I answered you without specifying your address.  With the cornering of the market for females in male urology, I do not think it possible for a man to receive a professional examination without having his genitals handed over to females to abuse him as they wish.  I am happy to have reached the age of 78 and I feel it is better to accept a death with dignity than ever have another dominatrix exercise under the guise of a medical procedure.  Yes, I shall continue to search for alternate treatment but I shall never submit to another painful, vulgar,  violent,  unwanted dominatrix exercises.  Where do they find these filthy and the male doctors who enable them?  Black men have no chance of compassionate professional medical treatment.

@looper It amazes me that the radiation varies so much.  I was told eight and half weeks without any other option.  But when I found a female was going to administer the treatment, that ended it.  Why can't the physicians give us the information we need to make informed decisions?  More important to me, why do we have to surrender our genitals to a female to receive medical treatment?

@prostatecnr Hope you got my post on the difficulty of getting treatment from a male nurse practitioner.  Women are allowed to control their bodies; men are not.

Is the sole purpose of urology to turn men into androgynous pseudo-males?  The unprofessional and ineffective treatments I have received for my prostate and urinary problems do not give me any confidence that the diagnosis of prostate cancer will result in any professional medical treatment.  Now I find they are giving me drugs to make me more androgynous, namely Flomax or Tomasulin.  What do men have to do to get professional treatment for male problems?
