Seeing Female Doctor about man’s stuff

You're definitely overthinking it.

They've seen it all before.

Women have had male doctors looking at their bits for many years. Uncomfortable or not, as another poster said, it's their competence that counts

Good luck!

Yes, but sometimes they prefer to see a female doctor about such things. My mother once told me she switched to a female GP for this reason. So if a man felt very uncomfortable about it, that likely wouldn’t be that unusual.

I'm surprised your're getting a prostate check at 31. Usually it is mid forties before they'd be wanting to check that. It doesn't cause problems in younger men.

I'll never forget my first prostate exam,

went to the clinic, put on the paper gown and laid on the table, guy comes in, tells me to lay on my side and the proceeds with the examination, 'interesting' is the only thing he says as he heads for the door.

On his way out the door, a female doctor is coming into the room against him, they pass, then she turns to me and says the most terrifying thing anyone getting a prostate check could hear.

'who's that fella?'

Whoosh!!!

I actually don't particularly mind trainee doctors. Most doctors I come across have more of an interest in women's, elderly or children's health. If whatever my issue is can spark an interest in men's health, I'm all for a junior doctor being involved.

Smaller fingers = good.

I've always specifically requested a male doctor when it comes to stuff like this and it's never been an issue.

I would not be so certain about that.

There was a poster on Boards a while back who ejaculated during a similar procedure, which hence prompted him to post on here asking as to whether or not he might have been abused. He actually genuinely thought that his reaction to the exam could have been through some form of 'abuse' from the doc.
