Does every physical exam require a testical exam. i had one last year and everything was in check. jw 16 yr old?

See details: Tumors involving the testicles are most common in younger males. That is why this exam needs to be done.

Usually: That is part of a yearly physical. I used to wonder the same thing, until i found a boy who was missing a testicle after having it there all the previous years. Other things can also show up, like hernias.

Medical Norms: It should not unless one has pain, abnormal issues, or has had some form of injury.

Yes: It is necessary to access for normal genital development and pubic hair etc. Also to make sure no testicular masses are present. Testicular cancer is more common in males aged 20–39 years. Thanks.
