Would male doctors be more expert at examining testicles for lumps because they are more familiar with how they should feel since they have testicles themselves?

Q: would male doctors be more expert at examining testicles for lumps because they are more familiar with how they should feel since they have testicles themselves?

: Gender of the doctor would not matter. A female urologist would have examined enough testicles to be thoroughly familiar with all variations of normal anatomy.
