This was truly funny, the uncomfortable situation for the young man reminded me of myself at that age worrying about examinations and how my body might react. As an adult having my first prostate exam was equally frightening, I heard how painful it was and braced myself for it. It was when the examination was over that I realized that other men lie about how much they hate it, it wasn't pleasurable but it sure did not hurt either.

The most awkward male exam I ever had was by a young, snickering, inexperienced, female doctor and her younger, snickering, more inexperienced, assistant that decided the best way to approach the situation was to kneel down in front of me and reach up under the hospital gown and grope around. From other exams, by both male and female doctors, she misted the objective completely as none of the usual, suspect, areas, were inspected, having had a lump in the past. I decided then I would reserve the right for who would examined me, whether it looked prejudice or not.

[@lennybuttz2162]

If it's a random doctor that you don't feel confident about it's OK to ask for a different one or refuse the exam especially if there's no physical need for it. If someone snickered at me and I hadn't made a joke I would've have given them the death stare and told them to get out. After the exam I would have asked to speak to their supervisor and laid it on the line.

[@kasnarfburns210]

I'm grateful for NEVER having any embarrassing issue like that when I was in H.S. I had broken the base of my thumb playing softball which required surgery but that was all. I once worked a summer at a rehabilitation center and there were young men there with varying states of paralysis. It was easy to see how very awkward it was for them to be so dependent on others.

The same here for the most part. But I'm in America where the big insurance company corporations run everything and the appointments are usually a strict 10 minutes (I think that's a level one).

[@dbyers3897]

I've been a nurse for many years & this is the funniest thing ever. The teen has such an expressive face too. I had an inguinal hernia form as a teen after weight lifting & the surgeon I was sent to shoved a long unfiled pinky up there & I saw stars. I made EVERY effort to reduce the hernia without having to see him again. Luckily I was successful. Apparently it's a good idea for young men to keep their knees together as well.

[@SirKolass]

Can't inguinal hernias only be fixed with surgery?

[@dbyers3897]

@@SirKolass It depends on how bad it is. If the small bowel becomes trapped & pinched in the bulge then it's extremely painful & becomes an emergency requiring immediate surgery. I didn't require surgery. I wore tight support & was more careful to keep my knees together when lifting so it heeled up.

[@jeffb5785]

I had an inguinal hernia as a kid too, nobody ever put a finger in my butt, but where they did poke was quite uncomfortable, directly where the hernia was by way of the scrotum to the pubic bone.

[@georgeplagianos6487]

​@@dbyers3897wow that was some episode in life. Glad the doctor needs not do any surgery except just wearing a support.

This is a very important issue which is still not propagated enough. My men, touch yourselves and check for any swelling down in the scrotum and if you feel anything out of the ordinary,get a checkup. For my women as well(honestly women are more aware) , touch yourselves and feel for any bumps in your breasts and have regular checkups. Cancer is very common these days...

[@retroguy9494]

Self exams ARE important for women of any age and for younger guys (once you're in your 40's and up testicular cancer is extremely rare as its a young man's disease). Once you're over 40ish then prostate cancer is the big worry. But more important is that women should get regular mammograms and young men should have their testicles examined by their doctor yearly as part of their physical. If over 40ish, guys should have their prostate examined yearly.
