Putting off doctor visits, especially for sexual health issues, is a common practice among men. If you’re a guy who waits until something is seriously wrong before considering a visit, you’re not alone.
A recent poll of 1,100 men showed that even under the best circumstances -- when men have health insurance and have a primary doctor they feel comfortable talking to -- 58% of guys say that something still keeps them from actually going to the doctor.
Could it be that it has always been wives or mothers that push their husband or boys to go to the doctor and men just don’t like getting pushed into anything? Probably.
Or is it simply that men believe they can “shake it off” and that pain/itch/rash will go away? Perhaps.
A 2007 study by Harris Interactive for the American Academy of Family Physicians polled 1,111 men ages 18 and older. In that poll, 36% of men said they put off seeing the doctor until they are extremely sick and 23% say they’re healthy and have no reason to make an appointment.

The fact is that many sexual health issues are not detectable until it’s too late. It certainly wouldn’t be advisable to ignore high cholesterol or high blood pressure until there’s advanced heart disease. Sexual health issues need the same level of attention The fact is that there are no major warning signs for the most common and harmful STDs. You can have an STD and not feel sick or even notice that anything on your body is different.

STDs aren’t like a bad flu or sprained wrist that men would like to “shake off” or “tough it out.” If you don’t get tested, you may never know you have an STD. And if you don’t receive the proper treatment, it could lead to serious complications.

It’s understandable that men (and women) don’t want to go to the doctor to talk about personal issues related to our sexual health. Convenience and privacy are fundamental to getting tested for HIV, herpes, chlamydia and other STDs. There are very convenience and private STD testing options available. No doctor's office visits for guys
