Testicular Exams

The first testicular exam I can remember was done when I was about to start school, but back then being touched at the scrotum felt entirely different. Later on I had my testicles examined every year in the school exam. I found the testicular exam to be the most embarassing, because it felt so intimate when the doctor but her fingers there and especially in the higher grades my penis started to get hard during these exams. But admittely I sometimes also masturbated afterwards, thinking back to this part of the exam.

I always had a hernia check at the pediatrician growing up. Then, they stopped when i reached adulthood. For several years i didn't even remove my pants when i went to the doctor. Once i turned 40, however, they came back. Now i get a testicular exam and prostate exam every year.

When I went for my physical last year, my primary care physician knew that I had seen my urologist the month before so she said she did not need to do another prostate exam or check for hernias. All my urologist does is a quick prostate exam and that is it so I told her that was all he did and would she mind checking the testicles. She said she didn't mind and since I was naked under the gown she just had me stand up and she put on some gloves and briefly checked my testicles and then did a hernia check as well.

The doctor I grew up going to would always do a testicle exam with me laying on the exam table. He would pull my underwear down and check my testicles and then my anus. The doctor I go to now performs it standing up. How do I ask him to do a tesicular examination while I'm laying down on the table? Which position does your doctor do a testicluar examine and which way do you like to be examined?

@Clark I moved your question, you can find some ansers in this topic.

A testicular exam should be done in the standing position for a couple of reasons. One, gravity pulls everything down so a thorough examination can be done and nothing missed. The accompanying hernia exam is better when the abdominal contents are pushing down and any possible bulging can better be appreciated. Lying down exams simply don't do this. Do you want the exam to rule out pathology or do you want it for personal gratification?

I've generally had them standing, but I was due for a physical after spraining my ankle. I was on crutches, so the doctor did the exam while I was laying down. It was strange, but also very thorough.

I had my first hernia check and testicular exam at 16, being handled by the doctor was both humiliating and arousing... I wasn't told to expect the testicular exam. When it was all over I was glad to leave the doc's office but I wished I could ask to come back for more.

The best testicle exam I ever had was when I went to this Urologist who was recommended by a female doctor my wife used for some surgery. I was having an issue with some curvature of my penis. I wanted to know if I was getting peyronie's disease. The doctor had an extra long appointment with someone. So, he assigned his PA to do my exam. She was a fox. After talking with me for a few minutes, she had me drop my pants and underwear. I thought I was going to get an erection but I didn't and she started to examine my penis. She squeezed hard and then very hard to see if there was any buildup of calcium or if there was scaring from an injury. This took about 3 or 4 minutes. Then she moved to my testicles. This took another 3 or 4 minutes since she felt all of the tubes in the scrotum. Final, she started to touch my penis once again. This time it was very gentle and playful. I started to get an erection. When I was about 3/4th erect, she said she was confirming that I could get an erection. This was great.

Everything that is mention, i feel like i have been through it

When it happen to me the first time, my heart was racing so fast, it seem to take for ever.

My stepmom, just sat there and watched, the doctor talked to her, how i should check myself

in the shower, with lots of soap

I have been check at home also, my stepmom was shown how , by my doctor.

I can think, i am saying this, but did get a erection, i get one the minute, she has me undress.

They whisper sometimes, that they think i like the exam.

I had one of my more eventful annual physicals last year. I'd found a small, hard lump on my left testicle about a week before, so I mentioned it to the doctor after she came into the exam room.

The testicular exam was done with her seated and me standing, but with gloves on she was unable to locate the lump. I'd been holding up the front of the gown for her, so she asked me to remove it and put it aside so that I could assist her with my own hands. A rather awkward moment ensued in which I found myself standing naked with both my hands and hers touching the scrotum at the same time, but now she was able to feel the lump. She said it was probably nothing to worry about (I'm well past the age where testicular cancer usually is a concern) but scheduled an ultrasound exam nonetheless.

The ultrasound confirmed that the lump was not actually on the testicle, but was rather a localized thickening of the cord, probably a result of my vasectomy that I'd had done about ten years ago. By protocol I had to have a follow-up ultrasound a few months later, which I asked to be excused from since I couldn't find the lump anymore, but it was done anyway. Nothing found that time, end of story.

I was 14 and started seeking care from a new female doctor. The testicular exam was the last componenent of my physical. This time I was asked to remove my underwear completely, place my hands behind my head and spread my legs a little apart as opposed to my previous doctor who just had me lower my underwear. She inspected my penis, shaft, rolled my testicles and checked me for a hernia. I felt really humiliated because I did get a serious erection. My doctor told me I should not feel embarrassed at all that it was a normal reaction and "The plumbing" seems to be working normally. She also counselled me on the importance monthly self exams. Thank god my mom was asked to return to the waiting room. This was my first private exam.

My experience at 14 was almost exactly the same, except my father and younger (by two years) brother were in the room the whole time.

I´m not sure about this issue.

i think i would be very embarrased if a female doctor gives me such exam and i get erected. so, i´m sure i´ll try to avoid the erection as much as i can. but i know i have a very strong fetish about female doctors and latex gloves so if the stimulus is that big i´m not sure if i can be strong enough to keep calm.

luckily this never hapened to me... very very complex situation!

Mine have always been standing up... I get nervous though and my low hangers draw in...

Testicle exams are my favorite

Guys, when the doctor fist touches your scrotum is it an electric feeling or like a shock running through you? For me it is. Just wondering.

I can't say it's anything like an electric shock. In a play situation the doctors touch on the scrotum is nothing other than pleasant in my experience.

At my age, it's certainly not a shock, given that I've had genital exams routinely done for decades. I've never had a play exam (I wish), but I would assume that it wouldn't really be surprising to me in that situation either. Now, if you're really asking if I enjoy the exam and if it feels good, then yes, of course it does.

While guiding my husband's manhood into Miss Kitty, I felt a significant lump above his manhood. I asked him if he was aware of it and he said that he had been for a few months and was beginning to wonder about it. Yikes I said......you need to have that looked at and made him lie down on his back for me to exam. I got a bright light and focused it on the area involved which seemed to be festering with puss and at the surface of the skin as opposed to being an internal lump. A closer exam made me think this might be an ingrown hair (he has had them before after shaving and occasionally after a haircut. I told him to lie still and got a needle to puncture what looked like the head of a large pimple. Lots of pus came out as I gentle squeezed it and the tip of a hair. Taking hold of it tip of hair, I gently pulled on it and about a foot long hair all curled up on itself was gently pulled out of the lump area. I myself have had an ingrown hair high up on my inner thigh with a similar lump that my husband "operated" on in a similar way. Both these experiences happened several years back but I have often wondered if anyone else had a similar experience and what they did about it. Denise

And now we shall know @Denise as Dr. Pimple Popper.?

I have had a reoccurring lump very high up on my thigh. I get it about once a year. this last time it got about as big as a ping pong ball. It was getting pretty painfull to sit down or get up. I went to the drug store and bought some hypodermic needles. I poked it and squeezed it and nothing much came out of it. The next day it was really pissed off! Towards the end of the day I was thinking that I was going to have to poke it again, I got up from my desk and my shorts were wet. I looked down and there was blood everywhere. I ran to our private bathroom and sat on the toilet and squeezed it a little. my shorts were filled with blood. The toilet was now filled with blood, but it sure felt better. After about 15 minutes I wrapped myself in a towel and ran out the back door to my truck. when I got home I took a shower taking my blood filled shorts with me and rinsed them out. It drained for 7 days. That was two months ago. So far, so good! I never did find a hair though.

Sounds like Denise did exactly the right thing for her husband. As long as you removed all the pus plus the offending foreign body (hair), he'll probably be fine without any further Treatment. Just keep an eye on that site and keep it clean so there's less chance of it reocurring without knowing. If for some reason it doesn't seal up and heal without problems, he shouldn't need a doctor or antibiotics. Cover with some topical antibiotic (e.g,. Bacitracin/Neomycin/Polymixin) and a band-aid to help it heal. Remove any further pus if you see it re-accumulate and call his doc if it keeps reaccumulating or stays red and painful. Nice work.

I have often wondered if anyone else had a similar experience and what they did about it.

I've had a very large lump in my groin a few years back. It was also a boil of sorts, but since it was quite painful, I went to a doctor fairly rapidly after a few days. He prescribed some sort of cream and after a few days of applying the stuff, the boil popped open when I squeezed it. Not much pus or blood though and certainly no hair to be found. I too thought it must certainly have been an ingrown hair.

I think that it has clearly become more thorough than when I was in elementary school. At that point, the doc would simply lower my briefs and give them a look and quick feel. I was more upset at having my briefs yanked down than the exam at that point.

By the time I entered junior and high school, the doctor was not at all reserved about having my briefs removed while he had me stand there legs spread and felt my testicles and did a hernia check. I also began to realize that being examined there would feel so different now than when I was younger. The idea of being naked in front of a doctor and a nurse or parent became very memorable, and years after, a source or stimulation.

Having my genitals examined is now like a prelude to a full exam. There will be a penis exam and inspection as well as a careful rotating of each testicle and questions about self examination before he inspects my anus.

I had an exam one time by an andrologist. It was a man, much to my dismay. He had me lie on an exam table, and he was very cautious about touching the boys. He clearly stated everything he was going to do or touch before he did it. I guess some guys may respond violently when being fondled by a dude.

He used something called an Orchidometer ( https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Medical-Measuring-Wooden-Orchidometer_60692524764.html ) and told me that I was at the high end of his capability to measure (as large as the biggest one on his key chain). He said mine were, "Larger than normal." Straight and Bi women have a great deal more experience with various male genitalia than the average straight guy has. Feedback is rare, and always suspect ("Oh, you're the biggest!")

I saw a GP today and had a hilarious experience during my testicular exam. I was being seen because I’ve had some swelling of my epididymis ever since I had my varicocele embolization procedure three months prior. So pants down he’s examining my boys and feels the epididymis which was tender to the touch, next he checks me for hernias just to be sure, then he says “okay you can lift them up”. I thought it was an odd request but I lifted my scrotum and then I thought he was going to fall off his stool laughing! He apologized for being vague and said he meant my pants. We both were dying of laughter at that point! He apologizes again for not knowing the cause of the swelling and says he’s going to refer me over to urology where they should be able to figure out what’s going on.

Now to find out if my appointment with urology will be as eventful.
