Sports physical genital exam

Hello. I'm going to have a sport physical exam soon I found out that the form has slightly changed. I would like to know the difference between 2 things.

The form used to say "genitourinary" and now it says "genitalia and hernia". Last year when it said "genitourinary" all they did was to check for an inguinal hernia. Does anyone know what "genitalia and hernia" exams consists off???

Is this for a standard high school sports exam?

@coastlover doesn't state his age in his profile. If it's a high school sports exam for him - he's on the edge of zity's age limit. I remember getting inguinal hernia checks as part of a sports physical in high school. We also had the option of having our regular Dr. do an exam and sign a release.

It's for college.

I googled "genitalia and hernia" exams and there are some interesting articles - both pro and con doing the exams. Didn't find a definitive answer. I suspect it's up to the doctor as to what all a "genitalia and hernia" exam entails. A couple of the articles said inguinal hernia exams are not necessary for student participation in sports (they might have been talking about younger kids). That struck me as odd because heavy lifting and straining can cause a hernia to pop out (I know because my son herniated both sides lifting weights!)

Note: I am NOT a medical professional.

Anyone else knows the difference???

HAVE YOU done any research to look this up?

Surely you aren't going to rely on a fetish website for your answer.

What did you find out?

I have done research but I haven't really found anything so if someone has a similar experience I would like to know.

Allow me to be on a light note with this. 😃

You and your sex partners play with your cock and balls. Your previous doctors have looked at and examined them, your buddies in the locker room have all seen them. What is the big deal about this upcoming exam?

It basically comes down to the doctor’s preference. I’ve had sports physicals that included only hernia check, and others that also included feeling the testicles, despite the language used on the form.

I agree. The exact words dont matter as much as what the doctor wants to do. Could skip the whole exam entirely, could perform a quick hernia exam, or could also include rolling your testicles around. Let us know.

They may have changed the wording on your form, but I don’t think it will change your experience at the doctor. I’d classify the change as semantics.

You’ll for sure get a hernia check and that may be all, unless they have reason to check testicles. If you don’t report any issues (eg testicular pain or trouble peeing) they won’t likely go looking for them in a sports physical.

But if you’re going to the same doctor or practice as last time you’ll likely get the same exam since it’s a small wording change and as other have noted it’s more about what’s standard for the doctor than the form.

(Also, They don’t always examine items on the form. For example a lot of college physical forms have a line for rectal, but it’s incredibly rare that a doctor performs a rectal exam on a college-bound patient, again unless something abnormal is reported, and they’ll note it as ok or skipped).

I have never seen a form that had a rectal category. That's weird.

You haven't seen very many forms. It's very common.

Can someone link an example please. I just have curiosity.

I checked better and I found out that there is a newer version of the physical form.

Now there are 2 categories:

-Hernia

-Genitalia/rectal

Does that mean they will basically check everything ???

I just have a medical fetish and want to know what to expect.

Does anyone know the reason for including a rectal exam on that form, while most doctors skipp that?

Young people are more shy than before and doctors could be reluctant to examine everything.

So is it just a relic from before?

Don't know why they would do a rectal exam for a school/sports physical. Relish in the excitement of not knowing for sure what will happen - let the anticipation feed you MedFet!

My sports physicals in the 1980s ALWAYS included a genital exam and, because wrestling required it, Tanner stage was always noted. In New York State, an accurate Tanner stage assessment is still mandatory for certain sports, including wrestling. Here is the current form: http://www.p12.nysed.gov/sss/documents/AthleticPlacementProcess12-11-17FINALRevised.pdf

My thoughts exactly. Not knowing is half the fun. The anticipation will drive you nuts. (No pun intended). I exit the room quickly as the boos, hisses, tomatoes and other ASSorted vegetables begin to fly.

Hopefully the doctor does something more than the hernia test because there is another category that says genitalia/rectal so maybe I will get a rectal exam or maybe just a penis examination.

When is your exam? I would love to hear a detailed recap of your sports physical. Did you have to strip to your underwear at the start of last sports physical exams? Urine sample? Did you get hard?

In England, it just says penis and testicles.

Interesting

1) Let us know if anything actually is different

2) I'm assuming it is just a wording thing and nothing will be different.

I expect something different from last year because there are 2 categories now:

-Hernia exam

-Genitalia/rectal

Last year it just said genitourinary exam.

Has someone else had a college sports physical???

I had 5 college sports exams. One prior to admittance and 1 every year after. They only included hernia exams. Fortunately, my school didn’t have a guy like Nassar. Seemed to me they were more for liability issues. BTW - they didn’t play into any fetish. I wanted an ok to compete.

Holy cow, the form @JakeNewYork linked to in his comment is nuts! One would think the individual was trying out for the Olympic, not JV volleyball. As I recall, the physical exam sheet we were distributed was one page--maybe front and back, but I don't even think that was the case. All I can assume is given the litigious nature of the US, it's best to cover your ass--be that a development stage or rectal exam or whatever--just in case something happens and someone gets sued for negligence.

I don't see the form. Can you post the link??
