Nervous before exam?

I agree it is the joy of it .. but its a great nervous. Cuz you wish is coming true.then you go home and stroke one out cu z all the excitement. .

Its very normal in every way to be nervous..!!

It's totally normal to be nervous. I certainly am. My penis doesn't shrivel though. It's hard to find it anytime. Lol

I believe we are all very nervous before exam.,, and maybe women more so...

Yes I still get nervous when going to the doctor for a checkup and more so seeing the gynecologist. It's certainly less so than it used to be, but it's still there. It's mixed in with the anticipation of being examined, all part of the many crazy mixed up emotions and feelings I have when going to the doctor. Thankfully I'm pretty healthy and haven't had any major illnesses or problems, that would be a nervousness on a very different level.

In a word, "yes" more so about having to be displayed and all that comes with, "nice to see you, shall we start your exam?"

I always get nervous before any type of exam. I think it because I have some type of fear that something could be wrong with me. After my exams I always feel that for no reason at all I got myself anxious.

I always get nervous seeing a doctor all the time, whether it's the real one or a play doc. Even if I know what's going to happen, say I need to get a flu shot, a follow-up visit, or I'm expecting to be completely exposed on a play doc scenario the anxiety is the same. They can never get an accurate blood pressure from me, it's always high and like I just finished running laps. There's only one instance where they got an accurate and normal blood pressure from me which was when I got food poisoning and was severely dehydrated. I didn't feel anything back then, I just lied on the bed.

I am always nervous to the point of needing my bp taken After the exam is over.

The worst kind of nervousness I had was during military service. There was a rumor that the physician would palpate the testicles (apparently there were limitations on serving in the armed forces if one had only one valid testicle, perhaps in case it is damaged in action). So I go to the physical, and it turns out that the military physician is a woman. I was quite nervous. And lo, at one point of the examination she tells me to lower my briefs and indeed palpates my testicles. It was not long but it was embarrassing (she was asking me if my testicles had had problems descending).

I then understood what it felt like for a woman to have her first pelvic.

Usualy I dont feel nervous before an exam - unless I'm realy ill and dont know the reason why - but only the thought of having to disrobe at least down to my briefs in a short time turns me on!

When it comes to the end beeing told by my doc to take off even those I often get an errection but I dont care at all!

It even shows the doc, that 'mI still in "good shape" and healthy! ---------

I am usually not nervous before an exam unless I know something is wrong and I am worried about what my doctor will find. But if it's just a general check-up, I am never nervous.

I believe that everyone is nervous before exam.,, Its only6 natural to be...

I don't suffer from "White Coat Syndrome" at all when visiting my GP, so my blood pressure and pulse remains very much normal. I don't get anxious or excited when I enter the examination room. I'm more concern with establishing a good rapport with the doctor and working towards treating the illness or alleviating the present symptoms especially if its a new doctor that I'm seeing for the first time.

I have notice a worrying trend in the UK, the GP's are allocating/scheduling less and less time to actually see and examine patients. So I am concerned that they may miss something or misdiagnose something due to their time constraints. I am not too unduly concerned due to my medical background and knowledge, but I feel that this practice has to stop or be curtailed and from reading other post by our US members it seems that this practice is also fairly common.

RN1993 I am concerned about the time restraints as well. Since I get professional courtesy I don't have to worry but I feel for those who don't.

Yes liquidsky I can certainly understand that and its always nice to have some " professional courtesy" extended towards you. I think as a Nurse I to get a bit of that especially because of my ITU background. As you said

Since I get professional courtesy I don't have to worry but I feel for those who don't.

" I feel the same . It should not be the case but it is and you hear or read about people get misdiagnosed and developing more serious and sometimes terminal conditions.

I am always a little apprehensive before an exam because I hope there isn't any pathology.

The findings in an exam can determine how you spend the rest of your life.

Yes Switchablesusie that is always a concern, but my philosophy has always been, Ok what can we do, how can we treat this, what steps do I have to follow etc. I think it stems from my mother who survived breast cancer , her courage really had a deep and long lasting effect on my outlook on life, health and happiness.

I always get nervous before an exam . Like Switchablesusie I'm worried incase they find any pathology .

Each week I get my Uro/Gynae exam I know it's going to be the exact same exam , with the exact same treatment but I'm still always nervous driving too and sitting in the waiting room listening for my name to be called .

I think it's just a normal reaction .

Each week - you realy dont beleive this!

Or are you sick and need to be regulary controlled?

niknoks, I have a normal degree of apprehension before a real exam. It does NOT make me crazy by any means and I certainly have no need or desire to go every week.

Why do you have to be seen so often?

I have an ongoing issue with my kidneys/bladder/uretha . I had a procedure a few weeks ago that didn't go to plan . Each week I have treatment with sounds . This goes in 6 week cycles. After 6 weeks of treatment I generally get one week off and then start again. My bladder is big , but my uretha tiny . It's been a slow process but treatment is working . My bladder has shrunk to half the size it was . It still holds triple the amount of urine it should , but hopeful that eventually it will become a more normal size .

Aside from being needle-o-phobic, I am most nervous when I see someone new & do not know what to expect. Normally the thing to be most nervous about is what my test results from blood and urine, especially when it comes to certain numbers. My declining eyesight that was once perfect also has me on edge as to when I'll be mandated to wear glasses. When I saw a new physician and they seemed to be filling a whole rack's worth of test tubes with my blood, I was getting nervous as to when that was going to finally end. And i fear ever having to go on meds, perhaps for life, and then having to go on more meds to combat the side effects of other meds.

Always nervous, no idea why.

I usually forget to ask about things that are bothering me and hate myself until the next exam. If I write things down I always skip over the important things. Never wins for me.

White Coat Syndrome or whatever, my BP is always higher when the nurse takes it than it is when I take it at home. Waiting in the doctors reception room is sometimes stressful and sometimes the receptionist and nurses don't make the situation the most relaxing. I am a nudist so being examined undressed doesn't bother me, however my doctor is very thorough and there is always some 'pressure' involved ...... the anticipation of pain causes nervousness.

As my warranty runs out and the mileage adds up, I do sometimes get a little anxious about what will be found. Also, I usually don't go unless there is something going on in the first place.

I'am always nervous but also quite exited the same time!

Thinking that I have to expose myself - and hoping this "exposure" will be more or less complete!

When I enter into the building were the doc's office is situated, my blood pressure is already rising!

Already the thought that I have to disrobe in the next 30 minutes to come - and remain almost complete naked the following hour.

Then, at the end have my intimest parts thoroughly checked - next time I will remove my briefs instead of only pulling them down to my knees!

Yes - already this thought turns me on!

Iam always nervous before exam .. always hoping that i´m healthy and they don´t find anythink.

Seriously... every time medical exam i get nervous. It's because i don't know what doctor doing to me next.

The nervousness and anxiety that i feel right before an exam is really the best part of an exam for me. i begin to pour sweat from my pits in the moments leading up to hearing the doc knock on the exam room door.

it never fails that i get that nervous frog in my throat when the doc enters the room and shakes my hand. i try to act cool and collected, when inside my guts are in a total knot. i currently go to a large medical practice where there are many docs and PA's. while i do have one designated pcp, who i will see really depends on who is available at the time of my appt. i have indicated to the practice that i prefer a male provider, so i've only been examined by male docs. that makes my nervousness jump up even higher.

while not every examiner brings me to the point of total humility (some don't even ask me to remove my shirt), i can be assured of the nervous anxiety that builds before i know which doc will be coming in the door. i always hope for the chance of a new doc or intern. they always seem to be more thorough!
