Also, men don't get multiple periods in their lives when they are checked out for every condition under the sun. My wife's health was given a thorough run down when she was pregnant and a bunch of things caught and fixed -- like her hypothyroidism. I go regularly to my physicals and had never been checked out so much. I ended up demanding that I too get tested for some of these things, and the doctors caught that I also had an asymptomstic but more serious autoimmune thyroid disease. Had I been a woman, I would have caught this during pregnancy check ups, and been treated. Instead I had to demand it. Now of course I think it's fine for pregnant women to be given priority but we need to realize that men don't get the equivalent treatment and thus encourage programs to get men in to the doctors, thoroughly tested, and treated. Make it part of a pre-birth check up for fathers. After all, once the baby is born, it would be nice if they had a father.
