Hello doctor, I need to consult an Endocrinologist for Gynecomastia and some other hormonal problems like low libido, ED, obesity...etc...But now only I came to know that, only female endocrinologist available at the hospital nearest to me. My doubt is, Will a female endocrinologist treat a male patient?.. or should I consult a male endocrinologist...Please help me. Thank you.

Usually all doctors consult patients of either sex. You should go ahead and consult the endocrinologist. However if you have the option, you can inform the hospital OPD beforehand about your prime reason for the consultation so they can speak to the doctor before confirming the appointment.
