A colonoscopy is a test that detects the early stages of colon cancer and doctors recommend that men 50 and over get this test due to the fact that men being 50 and over are more prone to get colon cancer.
That is not always true. A man can be a great doctor, but so can a woman.
First, doctors order sedation prior to the test, so people do not fully remember the discomfort. Second, most people try to avoid having a colonoscopy.
The duration of Woman Doctors is 1.78 hours.

Well, ever since I was a kid, most of the doctors or pediatricians were men. I tried nursing for a work experience and I worked with the children. Most of the doctors of Basildon Hospital, Essex were men. Hope your question is answered! Summer x

NO.
It depends on the indication (reason) for which the colonoscopy is being performed. If it is a simple screening colonoscopy then it is advised to wait until the period is over. The reason is that colonoscopy has a risk for perforation and bleeding. Bleeding from a perforated colon in addition to bleeding from the period may lead to a tremendous blood loss.
A colonoscopy is not a mandatory procedure as part of a general health exam. However, it is recommended for men and women reaching the age of fifty to have one. A colonoscopy is an examination of the large and small bowel with a fibre-optic camera inserted via the rectum. The procedure need not be painful. Some patients are given tranquillisers in advance and some people actually sleep through the process. Your GP may have recommended a colonoscopy if you have had symptoms of haemorrhoids or rectal/bowel discomfort. A colonoscopy can remove any existing polyps or colorectal cancer lesions for biopsy, and to determine if they are precancerous.
Universally just saying 'Doctor' should be enough. However, if you want to emphasize on the sex, you can call it as either a 'Male Doctor' or a 'Men's Doctor' if a doctor specializes in men's health.
