New patient physical next tuesday

@Littletwink just ask, it's that easy

I've been nervous to ask previously, thanks for saying this, I'm going actually ask my next physical!!!👍

@Littletwink I'm never nervous about any questions for my doctor, ill ask her whatever

My physical has nothing to do with medfet at all, just wanna make sure all parts of my body are in working order

Anticipating my doctors appointment in a few hours

@Tingue77 hope it goes well, can't wait to hear about it. Gonna see my urologist tomorrow, will post something re: that afterwards too.

Welp no physical today, she just looked at my foot. Won't get my yearly physical till march. So my story will be a few months late

Probably a better chance of just getting a genital exam at my physical, they really don't do rectal exams but she did talk to me about prostate screening so that's still possible

Awaiting your report…. thanks in advance

Actually my new doc does do the psa blood test and the digital rectal exam for prostate screening. So ill probably ask her to do both at my physical next year. I really don't mind both if it were more beneficial to my health

The nurse actually took my temperature as in for non covid-19. My previous doctor never took my temperature for just regular reasons. I was definently satisfied with that. Seems like my new doc is more thorough than my last doc as well

Well my new doctor is definitely a lot more thorough than my previous doctor. I'll be getting a genital exam/std test at my yearly physical next year. Looks like a genital exam will be a part of my yearly physical every year. My previous doctor never checked me at all down there. Will also start getting a prostate screening when I turn 45, I will be getting the psa blood test and the DRE. I am very happy that my new doctor is very thorough and I look forward to seeing her every year

As I figured, I will be undressed and will be wearing a gown for my physical in march. Many details will be shared in a few months 😊😊😊

Got my first annual physical with my new nurse practitioner coming up exactly one month from today. Excited about it happening soon

Got my first annual physical with my new nurse practitioner in 8 days. Excited to see what awaits me

If it's your first one with her she will probably check you over thoroughly to start. If you're lucky you'll find out how small her finger is.

I have my first one with a dermatologist in 3 weeks. Thanks to the internet I've found she lives one house over from me.

I recently had my physical. It was disappointing. It was not even a physical. Doctor who is female asked questions. I even told her about pain in scrotum. She said let's send you to a Urologist that is it. Did not request for me to take any clothes off or even ask about anything down there. I want a physical when I'm there for one.

Ive had two new primary care doctors since 2019 and aside from shoes and socks and I havent removed one stitch of clothing for them, lol.

That's how the new system works, all you get is a “wellness check”. If you want a real physical you have to ask for it and they get paid again for doing that. The system pays them so little they have to break everything up into small sections so they can make a separate charge for each.

@roscoe digital rectal exam won't come till I'm 45 next year

Doctors offices now are very specific, Most of the time you are rushed for a wellness exam and if you have an issue than usually are sent to a specialist.

5 days till my annual physical with my new nurse practitioner, hope I won't be too nervous

Annual physical tomorrow!!

Annual physical tomorrow!!

Enjoy😄

@roscoe will definitely try

First annual physical with my new nurse practitioner today!!!!

@Tingue77 tell us how it went!

Well that was very uneventful. No gown, no genital exam. Eh at least my doctor is awesome. Was expecting a full physical but I guess they don't do that anymore, oh wells

@Tingue77 , sorry to hear that--but not at all surprised. I think you have to confirm in advance exactly what you expect to happen, and then HOPE it does. These days a real, old-fashioned hands-on physical with undressing/genital/rectal exams--in short, the very things that gave most of us our med fet in the first place--is pretty much a thing of the past.

I'm going in for my first ever dermatology visit, will she do that through my clothes?

Probably not 😁

You'll be in your underwear the whole time. And I guess at some point she'll ask you “anything to be checked here ?" pointing at your privates. It'll be up to you to answer no… or yes 😄
