Daoust,
I hear what you are saying. Even though I am a doc myself, I really don't like going to doctors either. It is very easy to understand why people don't like coming to see us.
Having said that though, I can't tell you how many times a week I see patients that we see patients who we can just shake our head at because we can't do anything for them. If they had come to the doctor when they first started having problems, we might have been able to do something. It's really sad sometimes because people often have serious problems from things that are easily treatable if addressed earlier.
If you continue to have problems, are older than 50 or engage in sexual practices which might put you at risk -- go see a doctor. It's better to waste an afternoon at a doctor's office than miss something that could be addressed before it becomes a big problem.
Just my $0.02.
