A member asked:
Are male doctors uncomfortable examining a male patient's genitals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not particularly: I am sure some may find it more of a chore than others. It is just part of the human anatomy and some will skip this part of the exam to save time unless a related question is raised. I consider it part of the routine male physical and quite necessary for clearing athletes for sports and or teaching self exam to check for testicular cancer.
