Professionalism: Doctors are trained to handle such eventualities in a professional way. Find one that you can communicate with comfortably and will take the time to listen.

Have no fear: Physicians are trained to deal with all sorts of reactions and situations. Usually getting an exam makes people a bit anxious and does not "arouse" them. Since you are young you arouse easier but it is more important that you get checked out regularly than fear you will get aroused. Again, doctors have encountered people who are having all kinds of releases and you probably will not react.
