The majority of gynaecological patients who consulted a female general practitioner had a clear preference concerning the sex of the doctor. One third would go to the neighbouring municipality for a gynaecological examination if this was necessary in order to consult a female doctor. One out of ten would fail to attend for gynaecological examination if no female doctor were available. This is serious, especially for a) young women in need of contraception, b) women with severe non-symptomatic gynaecological disease. Steps must be taken to ensure that every woman has an opportunity to consult a female doctor. We need more female general practitioners in Norway.
大多数咨询女全科医生的妇科患者对医生的性别有明确偏好。三分之一的人在必要时会前往邻近城市进行妇科检查，只为了能看女医生。十分之一的人如果没有女医生就会不去做妇科检查。这很严重，尤其是对于a) 需要避孕的年轻女性，b) 患有严重无症状妇科疾病的女性。必须采取措施确保每位女性都有机会咨询女医生。挪威需要更多的女全科医生。
