Lift penis for testicular exam?

The doctor I’ve been seeing for the past several years always does my genital exam while I’m laying down...typically she’ll just move my penis to the side to access my testicles. When I was Younger my doctor would do a hernia and testicle exam with me standing, she’d hold my penis up against my stomach with one hand and check my testicles with the other. I Vividly remember one exam when she finished and removed her hand from my penis, I was Erect and pointing directly at her face 😮

On my last one, I thought he was just checking my prostate, but he manipulated my testicles just moving my penis out if the road with the back of his hand, felt around my lower abdomen and then checked my prostate. The time before that wasn't really a testicular exam. The Dr was female and my wife was in the room with me. The Dr checked my prostate and then my wife mentioned that she thought my circumcision was odd. The Dr had sit down in a chair by my wife and I had pulled my under wear up but not my jeans. The Dr said to go to her so she could look at it. All three of us know each other well, so I waddled over to her with my jeans still around my ankles and pulled down my under wear. We all got a laugh out if it. The Dr rolled my penis around in her hands looking at it and said that it was odd looking but should not be a problem.

I don'[t have to move my penis out of the way because by the time the doctor gets around to examining my testicles I have a full erection pointing out at 90 degrees hahaha.

I don’t ever remember having to lift it myself or having the doctor lift it. My pediatrician used to palpate my penis while also checking my balls and he would sometimes move it. Once as an adult the doctor had to adjust my penis position for the hernia exam.

I have always kept my hands well out of the way and left any 'penis moving' to the doctor or nurses. They have held it up or moved it out of the way.

Usually I just leave it alone and let the doctor lift it if he has to. Most of the time, however, that is not necessary since I have a full erection by the time he checks my testicles.

I only do what the doctor who is examining me specifically instructs me to do. I have never had one tell me to move my penis. I always shrink to my absolute smallest size during the anxiety of the exam. The doctor’s hands on the scrotum palpating the testes and doing the hernia exam just naturally pushes the penis aside. It would be exciting I’d the doctor would say something like “hold your penis straight up out of my way.”

It's important to follow doctor's order so I do as I'm told.

I've had three detailed examinations of my testicles, after I had a sore testicle a few years ago.

Every time, I was asked to take down my trousers and underpants and lie on the couch. In that position, my flaccid penis tends to flop onto my belly, so it's already out of the way for the exam.

At the first exam, the doctor wanted to check my genitals for infection, so didn't ask me to move my penis, but did ask me to pull back my foreskin - he then handled it himself while he inserted a swab and parted my meatus for a visual examination.

The other exams, my penis wasn't handled or examined, but he did ask me to part my legs slightly, so he had better access to my scrotum.

Whenever I get a testicular exam/hernia check the doctor usually just has his hand pressed against my penis while he examines me for hernias and for testicle exams, he doesn't touch my penis at all.

During my "medical" i am not permitted to touch my genitals my "doctor" handling my genitals in any way he feels appropriate to perform a thorough genital exam including measurements.

The doctor has never asked me to move my penis since I’m usually lying down, but when I eventually get hard I notice him struggling to examine my pubes.

I have never been asked by my doctor to lift my penis. She checks my testicles and exams the shaft and head of my penis before then continuing on with pressing with her fingers and asking me to turn my head and cough for the hernia exam.

Always. If its not an examination of the penis itself they do not touch it. I'm always asked to move to up or to one side.

I don't have to lift my penis during testicular exam.

Normally i am erect but otherwise doc Lift penis

If I'm not erect the Dr moves it herself or has the nurse hold it out of the way.

If it's just a hernia exam she will just usually just kinda take her thumb and move it over while feeling for lump

A couple times I had some discomfort with my scrotum and some dark colored veins that I wanted her opinion on

She started looking at them and finding nothing unusual she asked me to show her where

I reached down and swept him out of the way and showed her the veins

She said lets wait and see what they look like next time

I've never had my penis lifted during the cough and drop process. He just slips his fingers under my testicles.

Question for jon2, snowbov8686, bailey43 -- since you have female docs, do they require a chaperone in the room for your genital exams?

No, a couple of times she has had a another NP shadowing her and I was given the option of granting her permission to stay in the room or not. Sometimes my NP will demonstrate how she preforms a exam on a certain area and then the training NP will do it too. They have all been females. I think the first time she examined my junk she asked if i was comfortable with her doing it. I said of course. I think I have been her patient for 10 years now

I go in friday for my annual physical

Never been asked to do so, although it's always the doctor that lifts it up. I'm also uncut so that brought the doc to pull my foreskin back too.

I have been examined by so many Doctors in so many different specialties over the years but one thing that they all had in common male or by female was that they were doing the exams but and for lack of a better a better term they be did not seem to need any help lol. GG.

For the past 10-12 years that I have been a patient of my current doctor she has always brought in a nurse as a chaperone when she begins the genital exam.

I myself have never had a testicular exam.

If I do, there are two possible scenarios:

Female doctor- then I would not touch/ lift the penis myself, because i would want her to touch me as much as possible, especially in the sensitive genital area.

I would want her to lift or move around my penis as needed to get access to testes/ scrotum.

I would however stand with legs slightly apart and bend down so she gets full view and entire access.

If foreskin retraction is required, I would want her to handle that as well. I hope full retraction would not be needed because I have tight foreskin and if dry and harsh it is painful to retract abruptly beyond the ridge. So I hope partial retraction to examine the front of glans would suffice.

If she retracted me, I hope that she would also bring the skin back to cover the glans completely, because I'm most comfortable in this position.

If the doc is Male, I would lift up my penis myself, although still need to give him full access to scrotum. I would want to retract and bring back my foreskin myself, if needed for the exam. Obviously because I am straight I'm not happy with another guy touching me if it can be avoided.

I’ve never been asked. He lifts my penis briefly to do a visual exam of my scrotum before he checks my testicles.

None of my doctors or NP's has moved my penis out of the way. three times I've been partially erect after the penis exam & foreskin manipulation (it's tight and an effort to retract). I recall they just moved the testicle being examined to one side.

Normally as a rather old patient now if the doctor, man or woman wants to see under my penis, it is me who is asked to lift it.

As a young patient and in mandatory examinations ( school and unversity, military service, job check ups and son on ), it was rather the doctor no matter the gender who did it

If foreskin retraction is required, I would want her to handle that as well. I hope full retraction would not be needed because I have tight foreskin and if dry and harsh it is painful to retract abruptly beyond the ridge. So I hope partial retraction to examine the front of glans would suffice.

If she retracted me, I hope that she would also bring the skin back to cover the glans completely, because I'm most comfortable in this position.

According to teaching videos I've seen, the standard is for the doc to do both -- retract and then reposition as normal. Makes me wish I still had a foreskin!

I have had several Doctors and they have all asked me to "List your penis so I can examine your testicles". I assumed it was a standard phrase. The first time I was thirteen and wasn't sure if I should lift The General with a couple of fingers or wrap my hand around him. The hand wrap would have provided brief cover but the doctor had already examined every aspect of it so I opted for a couple of fingers.
