Male annual exams

My employer requires an annual exam complete with lab work and EKG so it is rather in depth. It always includes a hernia check, but not necessarily a detailed examination of my testicles, scrotum, or penis. I am given the option of a rectal exam though not required.

Tommorrow will be the first time in over 10 years my stomach is in knots...I'm so nervous

It really isn't as bad as you may think it is. But having not had an exam in over 10 years, it is understandable you are nervous. I don't know how thorough an exam you will receive, but on average you should be done in about 30 minutes. Don't be embarassed the doctor may see you without your clothes on. Doctors have seen and examined every part of a male and female body. Grit your teeth and get it over with 😃 Good Luck

I have had a physical exam every year since the age of 35. I am now 52, and my internal medicine doc always does a very detailed yearly exam which includes an EKG, genital, and rectal exam. This yearly exam is covered by my insurance with me only absorbing the $50 co-pay. I also try to work in another physical exam if possible. I love going to a new doctor in a new practice. Most doctors do a complete physical exam when accepting new patients and I always mention infrequent heart palpitations (always attributed to nerves) as this always guarantees another EKG. An EKG, and chest auscultation, is my favorite part of any exam. There is something exciting about being stripped from the waist up and being hooked up to electrodes that really turns me on. I have had several electrocardiograms while underwear clad only and the excitement of fighting an obvious erection only adds to the excitement. My ultimate fantasy is to be completely naked while having an EKG ... somewhat odd, but there are crazier things out there!

Never had an EKG while just in my underwear--sounds nice!

I had ECG totally naked with my cock exposed when I had my pre-militar physicals. They ordered us to strip completely and we passed naked form one exam room to other to have various tests. As well as ECG test I passed all other test naked. I always had hard on while a doctor was placing electrodeson my chest and especially when he auscultated my apex during the ECG test. It is a pity I never had more naked ECG exams after.

Well is bring my 1st post in here so I had was give new insurance at work. so I called there today so see if I could been seen for some of meds to get refilled. I have never been to this doc before so i am in the room he comes in and stand up the says what brings you in here today, I told that i need my med refiled and such. her make small talke then ask me if it would be ok to do a physical exam.

I am caught of guard, i studder and then yea well i really wan't planning on it but if you need to thats fine, so i am laying dowm and and I am naked(29m) he gets to the part where we wants me to stand up and cough so I do just them the nurse came in and asked if i has fasted befroe i came so they could get blood I told them, she said ok , then the doc said ok well let just finsh this next week when we can a look at your labs, i ask him going theough the whole thing again he say no we will just to the prostate exam and blood wok. come back next week

hummmmmm

I had a naked EKG. I had gone to a new doctor who was picking up Saturdays at another doctor's office. He had not yet opened his practice. A medfet friend and I both had appointments that Saturday and we both chose to not wear underwear, so our exams were done nude. He didn't know how to use the EKG equipment and didn't know how to use the rigid sigmoidoscope. So I had to return during the week when the regular doctor was there to show him. Having been naked for Saturday I didn't see how I could wear underwear now, even though this other doctor had patients strip to shorts

I just had my Yearly physical that included an EKG. A brand new nurse (two weeks) was there and she is very pretty and young. I just had to take off my shirt, but she was short so she kept having to lean over my body and was presssing her lower body into my arms on the side of the table,then she placed the holder o the leads she had attached to my body on top of my groin. It was very arousing to feel her this way. I am sure that she had no intention of givving me these feelings, but it was electrifying as she picked up the holder when she was done she ran her hands under it to pick it up essentially rubbing my package with her hand. Oh my.

Not sure this is the area to express this thought, but.. I've noticed how so many men on this sight tell stories of a female doctor/urologist examining there genital and/or giving them a prostate exam .. Well... I'm calling BS .. I've read soo many of these stories it sounds like 90% of all doctors/urologist are female. I THINK due to so much homophoba most men are still afraid to admit that they were turned on by a male doctor performing these exams. Really! It's 2012... It's ok to admit you like a man's finger up your ***!

At least once a year. some doctors say 40 and up for prostate checks but others say 50 and up. what is the consensus?

I try to go every year - have to schedule it around work, usually. Just good to get everything checked up, but my last two doctors haven't even asked me to get undressed below the belt. (Not even if I mention a balky knee... ) I am a young man, maybe that's why?

I go at least once a year for a thorough physical. luckily my med insurer covers pretty much whatever I choose. I therefore go to the best hospital in town and usually spend half a day there getting prodded and probed all over 😉

I am going to make an apt this morning for one, its been a good 4 years since I had one. so we will see I am nervous about the whole rectal exam casue I have never had on and want to know if they do these to guys at age 30

I make every year an appointment for a physical. Always a male doc

I've always heard that the yearly rectum/prostate exams start at 40, which I'm soon to turn, so will find out 😜

During elementary school I'd get yearly physicals, but they were very cursory and didn't include any genital or rectal exams that I can remember. During middle school age I'd go every year for a required sports physical. It was your typical school sports exam which usually included a hernia exam but not really any other genital exam and never a rectal exam. During high school and college the only time I went to see a doctor was when I was really sick, never for a physical exam. After college I was required to have have two different pre-employment physicals. Both were almost identical to my previous sports physicals for school, including a hernia exam but no genital or rectal exams. Until recently, those were my only physicals, 3 in school for sports and 2 after college for jobs.

About nine years ago or so I hurt my back and during the many doctor appointments discovered I had high b.p. During that experience I settled on a female family practice PCP about the same age as me. She basically required me to come in about once a year to have labs done and renew my prescription meds for my high b.p. Never had to remove any clothes for her, never received what I would call an actual physical. She would look in my throat and ears, then tap on my back in a couple of places, and finally listen to my heart. Literally took less than 2 minutes on the exam table, and maybe 10 minutes total in the room including history and small talk.

Recently I switched to a male family med PCP about 5 years older than me. My first visit with him he gave me a very comprehensive physical including genital, hernia, and my first ever rectal exam. Start to finish, including medical history and questions, it took a little over an hour. Before I left, he told me that I should be getting a physical every year. So if I do decide to stay with him I will probably start having a physical annually.

Also, for the past 6-7 years I do go annually to a dermatologist for a full body skin exam.

I have an annual physical exam with my doctor, who always does a rectal exam. The only time she examined my genitals since I started seeing her in 2016 was 2 years ago when i mentioned i occasionally feel a lump in my left testicle. She examined both testicles then, but that was the only time.

Usually about once a year the most recent doctor I've gone to is super brief and hasn't checked anything with my genitals at all.

I get a physical every year from my internist. He is very thorough.

Used to go every year and it did include genital/hernia exam. Been years since I’ve been for a regular checkup.

I have an annual physical, which includes a testicular exam, hernia check, and a rectal exam/prostate check. I started going for an annual physical around my mid 30’s. Before that I would go only every three or four years. The rectal exam started being a regular part of my physical when I was around 37 or 38.

For the past several years, my wife and I have been having conjoint physicals, so we get to watch each other being examined. One at a time of course.

Usually I have a physical exam once a year. The annual urological exam is a seperate date, there I undergo genital and rectal exam. I started with these exams in my mid twenties.

I started having annual exams 6 years ago. These exams include genital, testicular and rectal examinations. I have seen the same dr for these examinations and she goes through the results with me.

I go to the doctor's twice a year as my insurance allows me to do so. I get one exam in around March/April and one in August/September roughly. Both include a genital exam.

I get one once a year - always include genital exam but has never included a rectal exam.

I go one a year and a genital exam is always included. I'm not old enough for yearly prostate/rectal exams however I have received one during a visit to a specialist.

@Christian_Patient why’d you start going mid twenties?

It seems annual exams are commonplace in the US, I think that is ideal preventative medicine,

in England regular medicals are virtually unheard of, even school medicals are no more,

we only visit the Dr when we are "broken"

I do think that everyone should have a full medical every year,

but i suppose that is impossible with the limited funding of state health, and an exponentially rising population

I see my internist for an annual exam. He's never done a DRE. After expressing concern for possible varicose veins in my testicles he sat done in front of me and asked me to drop my briefs and checked it out. Nothing to be worried about apparently. Didn't even robe up for the last one. Just took of my shirt when the talking was finished and it was time for a listen. Ninety percent conversation and ten percent exam. Right or wrong that seems to be the direction we're going. Maybe 95%/5% next year.
