I knew it would happen someday, I still just wasn't quite ready. With the influx of females into the medical profession I knew it was only a matter of time before a female doctor would be asking me to cough while prodding her gloves around my unmentionables. I used to think it would be much more uncomfortable having a female doctor perform these kind of checks, but I feel I have been unfair in my view. While not particularly enjoyable, I would have to say that it wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be, or at least no more awkward than a day pantless with your doctor can be. In short, testicular cancer and hernia exams are never particularly pleasant, regardless of the gender of the physician administering them.
FYI: testicular cancer checks should be performed once a month if you are a male over the age of 14
