Male having first physical from female physician. clothes to remove? genital, prostate, or rectal exams? just concerned with embarrassment.
A doctor has provided 1 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
