Although men like to strut about with chest stuck out, talk a good game and brag about almost anything; deep down, we are total cowards. Who says so? Well, basically the whole of the medical profession i.e. doctors, dentists, nurses, carers and anyone else who occasionally might have to impart bad news to us chaps. I know for the average woman I am telling them nothing that they didn’t know already, but sometime we blokes, for all our macho bluster, might at least tentatively accept this fact as true. We are not just talking about that well known male malady known as man-flu either - it is a proper medical fact that men have a lower pain threshold than women. Most men think that giving birth probably stings a bit, but generally don’t know what all the fuss is about. However, given a reversal of roles at the business end of procreation would be squealing like stuck-pigs at the onset of the first contraction. In saying this, I am not a traitor to the male cause, just a realist who is well aware of my genders shortcomings when it comes to any type of pain. If a woman feels unwell, or has an unexplained pain she will hot-foot-it to her GP. A man will not. He will grumble at every opportunity about feeling ill until his partner in life could cheerfully ‘swing-for-him.’ Yet nothing could ever induce him to visit the family doctor, as he doesn’t really want to know what’s wrong with him and if he ignores it, it might just go away.

Why is it that men hate visiting a doctor?
