STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 29 Swedish clinics in Skane, Halland, Blekinge and Kronberg will no longer let women choose the sex of their gynecologists due to discrimination issues.

The ban was implemented after it was deemed unfair to men to allow women to choose women doctors, Sweden's The Local reported.

Patients will now be assigned a doctor of either sex, the Helsingborgs Dagblad reported.

Women who hail from backgrounds with patriarchal traditions and victims of sexual assaults will be exceptions to the rule and allowed to request a female gynecologist, the report said.
