Mrs Mungo Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Maybe gynecologists should train proctologists and/or urologists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Maybe gynecologists should train proctologists and/or urologists? It didn't specify which other specialists are able to treat this illness but I would suspect those would be the ones. The article says that they were treating these patients as a money-making sideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
