Lift penis for testicular exam?

I am naked and lying on my back at that point in my annual checkup. My female Dr moves anything that needs to be moved while examining.

My two female doctors my family doctor and my urologist move everything around as needed never been a problem. Only time i had to hold my penis out of the way was when i had to have a testicular ultrasound

When I was a teenager and had my pediatrician's genitals examined, I didn't have to do anything. I was lying on the table with my panties down and the doctor examined the penis first, then the testicles. Usually, my current urologist examinations are similar. On the other hand, at the military medical commission, the doctor who examined me ordered me to lift my penis with my hand. Before that, I had to take off my panties and step slightly apart. The doctor felt my scrotum examining my testicles. Then I had to lie on my back and then she examined my penis. I didn't have to hold him back then.

When I had a testicular exam recently my penis just hung there but didn't need moving, she just seemed to work under and to the side of it. I do have fairly big balls though, and they often hang fairly loose, so while my dick was also hanging low perhaps it was less in the way than it could have been.

Almost all of my genital exams have been done while I was Laying down with the exception of on memorable experience when I was In high school. I saw The nurse practitioner at my GPs office and she had me stand for a hernia and testicular exam. She held my penis out of the way with one hand and did the exam with her other one. Left me fully erect by the end.

My doctor has held it up before but usually i’m supine or fully erect.

Don’t remember ever getting a testicular exam although I’m sure at some point I did. I only recall a few times being asked if I I checked my testicles for lumps. I do wash every day indirectly checking them in the shower and would alert my doc if I felt something. So no, don’t ever recall my penis being lifted for a testicle exam. Better when my wife check them when we shower or had sex and she would call the doc if she felt something.

Either that or they need to crawl underneath for a better view

Silly approach, but have to agree, no need to lift the penis or get on the floor to check out the boys! Unless you have a humongous cock, They’re pretty accessible on their own. 😀

My doctor holds the penis out of the way with one gloved hand and feels the scrotum and testicles with the other.

In my experience, it's always up to the doc.

It's also interesting that sometimes the doctor examines the penis in addition to the testicles and inguinal canal, and sometimes not.

For most of my recent exams, the doctor has just shifted my penis to the side while examining my testicles and doing the hernia check. So I don't lift it and the doctor doesn't really lift it either. I'm always standing in front of the doctor during this part of the exam.

The only time I had my testicles checked was at my dermatologist'

I was lying on my back and she took care of every thing on her own, holding my penis on the side when checking the balls and then grabing the penis to check there too.

My complete physical, including my prostate exam was done lying down so my doctor moved my penis as she completed my testicular exam. At the same time she completed a skin exam exam.

I’ve never had to move my penis. If the doctor wanted to move it or turn it to examine it all over then he or she did it

I think the doctor or nurse has always moved things around if necessary. I don’t think I’ve been asked to do anything beyond lowering or raising underwear… or turning around and bending over I suppose

I've had my testes examined both standing up and lying down. In the former case, the penis wasn't in the way (and no, I wasn't erect). When lying down, they pointed my penis away without holding it.

Does anyone remember if to examine the testicles the pediatrician had to stretch out on the stretcher and the pediatrician raised the penis until it rested on the abdomen, and held it with the big toe of one hand?

I think you need to demonstrate on me, so I can figure out what you're talking about

I think was about five when the doctor asked if could lift my penis up and hold it. For her. My mom and a nurse were there. I held it up and the doctor examined my balls, then without notice, the nurse slipped a finger in my butt. The doctor said was a good boy.

Later when dad got home my mom told him how held my penis and the nurse checked my prostate. It didn't bother me, but it made me aware of anal feelings.

It was not for a testicular exam but for my first rectal exam at 52. I was laying on my back and the doctor asked me to fold up my legs apart. With her left hand, she then moved my penis onto my pubis and lifted my testicles. Then I felt lube against my anus, followed by the doctor’s gloved finger being inserted deep into my rectum during a few seconds.

I’ve never been asked to hold or move my penis out of the way. I can only recall two times in my past that a doctor actually touched my penis during an a real exam. of course, during play exams, it’s always examined.

The first time was when I was probably 11 years old and hadn’t even begun puberty yet that. My pediatrician had just checked my back for scoliosis and when I stood up he said that he wanted to check my testicles. However, he really didn’t. He instead just lifted my erect penis and pinched open the head of my penis with his bare fingers. Then stood up and washed his hands.

The second would be after a somewhat lengthy testicular exam laying down. The doctor said, “now I’m going to check for discharge“ and very briefly lifted up my penis and looked at the tip and then quickly put it back down.

I’ve had several hernia checks and testicular exams in my adulthood but I think the doctor always grabs my testicles from such a low angle he barely touches it. If anything, it might brush up against his thumb but I’ve never actually seen it draped across his hand as he’s checking for hernia or doing the testicular exam like you see in some of the real videos online.

If I remember right, my doctor always lifted my penis himself (my current one does). This goes back all the way to about age four or five. I actually perfer it this way, because I like to let the doctor take control of the exam & do his thing.

I've never been asked to move my penis or had the doctor move it deliberately during an examination of my testicles. They just put their hand underneath and feel the testicles. The penis no doubt touches or brushes against their hand but they just ignore it and focus on examining the testicles…

I have never been asked to move my penis. The doctor I have now it doesn't ever seem to bother him. I have had one doctor move it I was laying on my back for the genital exam. It must of been in his way he picked it up with his finger and his thumb moved it to the side and carried on.

I’ve never been asked to move my penis but a few years ago during my annual skin exam with a female dermatologist she asked me to lift up my scrotum. I wish I could tell you there is more to this story, but unfortunately, no.

I have never been asked by the doctor to lift my penis. Almost every medical examination I have ever had has involved palpation of both my testicles and my penis by the doctor and I would say I have had partial or full erection on more than 50% of occasions during this part of the examination.

My last genital, testicle, and DRE occurred many years ago. For me, in a cold room my penis likes to hide and play turtle. There is no need to move the fellow to the side. Those of you that have doctors that still do thorough exams are fortunate.

This sounds like a problem that may apply to a man far more hung than I am 🤣

Why would a dr do that? Afraid to touch your penis... or maybe it's so big it gets in the way? 😁
