Young Man’s Exam

I found this online and it’s an interesting guide for a Young Man’s Exam

https://youngmenshealthsite.org/askus/what-does-a-doctor-do-when-they-examine-privates/

Looks like good information for a young man.

Good stuff. Sometimes wish I will still a young man...but mostly not! 😉

This sounds like a great exam!!

That was a, good link. The style of the article was 100 percent Old School Dutch Uncle. I never really minded getting my junk checked. Testicular Cancer is real.

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed reading it but, in my opinion, it is an example of over coddling of adolescents that we see today. No one ever tried to soften the blow for me or my contemporaries in the 80s. It was kind of a rite of passage to manhood when you had to start having your genitals examined and the “turn your head and cough” experience.

I think it’s interesting this article mentions the doctor may touch the patients nipples to check for lumps and bumps; but doesn’t say anything about the abdominal exam, which in theory happens at 90 some % of exams.

I must not have had "extra tissue" around my nipples; they were never checked. Darn.

But docs were a bit more blase about it all, not so "Let's be sensitive to the young man's sensitivity" stuff as we have here, which reads a bit like an exercise in wishful doctoring by a shy person.

Hahaha as a playdoc I always check the patients nipples even if there’s not extra tissue ?‍♂️?‍♂️

Thanks for sharing, it's important for young men to learn, that they don't be afraid when they see a doctor 😃

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting article

Good article. I agree that it is important for young men not to be afraid of seeing a doctor, even if their privates will be examined.

Agree Tanya, it's just another part of your body that they're checking to make sure everything is working ok as it should and there's nothing wrong so you shouldn't get embarrassed about it.

Good article but nineteen seems a little old to me, having that kind of an exam for the first time. Starting at age eleven, I'd end up nude in front of the pediatrician while one of his fingers was buried up my ass, giving me a rectal/prostate exam that I didn't enjoy at all.

Seems unlikely that you would be given a prostate exam at age eleven

... it's just another part of your body that they're checking to make sure everything is working ok as it should and there's nothing wrong so you shouldn't get embarrassed about it.

I don't care what you say, I get embarrassed every single time my genitals are exposed. I still do it because it is a necessary part of staying healthy, and I understand all that. But I still find it embarrassing.

Good Site, especially because its a holistic view on the health.

It means: General Health + Sexual Health + Medical Conditions + Nutrition & Fitness + Emotional Health!

All aspects are necessary to be watched.

Excellent post. Anything that informs is a benefit. I am not sure how many "young men" will read this but if they do, it contains helpful information. Relying on friends or texts is not likely to prove reliable. Most of us come to the time of an adult exam after years of meeting with a pediatrician or adolescent specialist. While it's not likely to be the first where one's genitals are exposed and/or examined, it is clearly going to be a bit more thorough and likely to include a DRE. So anything that helps displace rumor is important.
