Question 1

how do female doctors do male exams?

Accepted Answer

Same as male doctors: After all, hey are physicians.Just like male doctors. Fortunately sexism is on the way out.

Question 2

do female doctors touch penis during exam?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Unless you have problem relating to penis or there is voiding problem.

Question 3

how can i ease my anxiety about a female doctor doing a prostate exam?

Accepted Answer

It's a Job: Remember that it is a job for that doctor. She has probably done hundreds or thousands of these exams. There is nothing arousing in this situation for the doctor. She is just doing her job in trying to make sure you don't have signs of prostate cancer.

Question 4

i am a 49 yr old female who hasnt been to doctor in over 18 months. what type dr should i see now & what tests/exams.... i have had no previous medical problems. had annual well woman visits but feel i need to start taking better care of myself.

Accepted Answer

You : You should see an internal medicine doctor or a family practitioner yearly for a physical and any screening tests recommended for your age group and your specific health and family history.  You should also see a gynecologist regularly for an exam and pap smear.  They may need to do this every 1, 2 or 3 years depending on your health and family history.

Below i've attached a helpful website on the recommended screening exams for women.

Question 5

will a male doc leave the room for a female physical exam, scared to go get one done have sores on my vagina if he does not leave can i ask him to ?

Accepted Answer

Chaperone: a male doctor should have a female chaperone  doctors are all used to "things" like penile or vaginal lesion so try to relax  but if a female physician is available please ask

Question 6

to a female doctor: is it normal to become aroused or even orgasm during my gyn exam, and what can i do about it.

Accepted Answer

Concerned Gay Doctor: I hope you won't mind, but arousal during an examination of one's private sensitive parts is normal and common.  There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed or concerned with. Believe me this happens to many patients at 'inconvenient' times.  Your physician will have some experience with this and i would hope continue with you in a very gentle and professional way. But, the message is you are fine.

Question 7

what to do if i'm 21 years old, could a female doctor give me a genital exam with out gloves on?

Accepted Answer

Universal prcautions: It would be extraordinarily unusual for a doctor to perform anything more than a visual external exam  of the genitalia, male or female, without gloves.  This is basic universal precaution taken for infection control.

Question 8

can an ob/gyn doctor male or female have a female or a male patient to masterbate during the exam for testings etc?

Accepted Answer

Inappropriate: It would be very inappropriate and quite odd (in most cases) to have a patient masturbate as part of an exam.

Question 9

sharp pains  in pelvic area day after pelvic exam/std swab.doc said everything looked ok.is this normal ? 17 y/o female .

Accepted Answer

No: Severe pelvic pain after an exam is not normal. Call the doctor who performed the pelvic and discuss with them. They may want to see you back and repeat the exam to find out what is going on. Best wishes and hope this clears up soon.

Question 10

male having first physical from female physician. clothes to remove?  genital, prostate, or rectal exams?  just concerned with embarrassment.

Accepted Answer

It is a professional: The female doctors have the same professional training as a male doctor. It may be the first time for you to be examined by a female doctor but that female doctor has examined many male patients in her carrier.  You will be having professional medical examination, not a social visit.  It is the same thing when a female patient goes to a male doctor.  Please rest assure you will overcome your fear
