Good question!: The reason for anxiety during physical exam will help you choose how to relax. Many people feel comforted when they are examined, because they feel cared for. Maybe you're worried that the doctor will find something "bad." is this it? Or is it the cold hands? More info is needed. But you might try letting the doctor know, and listening to your favorite music with earbuds during the exam.

Think different: Think about a beautiful place....Experience. If private area exam is uncomforting...... May need a different doc.
