Using slang words for body parts

Has anyone ever used a slang word for the genitals when speaking to their doctor? What was their reaction ? Did they correct you and use the proper anatomical term ?

A couple of years back I went to see my doc as I noticed some bumps/pimples on my scrotum. He came into the exam room and asked what was going on. Without really thinking, l replied that I noticed a couple of hard spots on my sack and wanted to get them checked - immediately realized I should have said scrotum. He did not really react and simply instructed me to drop my pants so he could have a look. After examining the area, he told me that they were cebaseous cysts and they are nothing to worry about. He said it is not uncommon to get them on your scrotal sac, especially if you shave down there (which I do). I was also relieved that saying my sack was not totally off base.

I once referred to "my junk" in reference to a ache in my testicle. When he was ready to examine the area, my male doctor said something to the effect of "let's take a look at your junk, as you say." I almost laughed.

Now I have a female PCP and I just can't seem to use any slang. For some reason it makes me feel perverted.

In my experience I think that it may be a generational thing. My friends group were all raised in a semi-slang era, where sometimes the correct names were used, but other times slang was used. Observationally, the generations older than us seem to use slang words more often to speak about their privates. Whereas friends of mine with children seem to be raising to refer to themselves in anatomically correct terms.

In my professional life, I have to say I am a big fan. I congregate with nurses, lawyers, law enforcement, psychologists and psychiatrists as part of my role and correct terms are a lot easier to work with- no ambiguity.

I can only think of one time when I initiated any conversation with my doctor regarding my genitals. I had been having some hip pain which had turned out to be an overuse type of injury. The pain radiated through my groin and when I saw the doctor regarding the problem, my description of the pain was that it indeed felt like my scrotum and testicles were somehow related to the pain. I had no thought of using any slang words to describe the location of the pain. Luckily a week of rest and I was back to normal, didn’t even need an x-Ray. During physicals, when the doctor initiates conversation about sexual, urinary or other functionality he may occasionally ask if the plumbing is working or if I am having any issues peeing, etc. I usually respond that I am having no issues urinating, no issues with erections and that I have good sexual function.

I have a great relationship with my GP and with being trans, we've had many conversations about different body changes and I've definitely used the word clit with her plenty of times. She's always been cool with it.
