Physical exam

Is it normal for doctor not to check my genitals during annual physical exams? I am 36 yr old male. Doctor even did not check prostrate glands? I want them to get checked but dont know how to convey?

    That's nothing. During my last prostate exam, I swore I felt a hand on each of my shoulders.

    Yes they do have a procedure during your annual where they will grab your crotch and tell you to cough. I dont know what the purpose of this exam but it is something they do for males.

    My doc shoves his fist in my bum on check- ups

  • Not normal. My first physical I didn't get the prostate checked (thank God) but he mashed my meat bag around mercilessly.

    You're a man, man. Have some empathy and quit crushing my man pieces!!

    Heh is your Dr a hot chick or something cuz you seem really excited about getting your nuts and butt fiddled with.

    Seriously though a prostate exam is recommended for the first time at age 40-unless you have symptoms requiring it sooner. So you've got 4 years.

    A family Dr really doesn't check genitals unless you express a concern.

    If you do have concerns then speak up.

    Most doctors are homophobes and if not, you just got molested if they complete the physical.
