While making an appointment for my yearly pelvic exam, a thought occured to me: Do men have to do this?

Which begged the question: What is a penis doctor called? Do men have these doctors? What's the male equivalent of a gynocologist?

I asked my husband, but as he's never had a problem with his dangly bits, he didn't know. I asked google, but the search for "penis doctor" got some very strange results, and nothing particularly helpful. I then asked WebMD, but they just gave me links to penile health.

So I ask the folks here at the temple... What do they call a penis doctor?

A urologist. (http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=5916)

Edit: To clarify, they deal with the urinary system in general, but penis problems are usually referred to them.

It would be really funny if they were called Penologists or Dickiatrists.

Yes, I'm immature.

EDIT: Shaftologists? Balliatrists?

Cockologist, Tom.

Thank you cindy.

Infrableed: Yes, that would be hilarious.

Anyway, asked and answered. You can close this if you wish, oh great and powerful mods, but I'm not going to delete it in case there are some others like myself out there who have wondered, but didn't think to ask.

Cock doctor.

"Dr. Wangstein, does this look infected?"

This is sexist!

I demand people go to college to become Cockologist!

Gynecologist aren't being represented in the male spectrum!

Hmmm, I bet we could waste a few million tax dollars on my plan...

Yes and its not fun having people examine your ching chang.

Girls get Guynecologists, so of course...

Guys get Girlnecologists.

So Dude, have you been to your Girlnecologist, lately?

The direct opposite of a Gynecologist would be an Androcologist, if that helps. Based on the roots.
