I recently changed doctors, and for the first time since I was an infant it is a woman. She is fairly young as well. I am suppose to have a physical exam some time soon, which my former male doctor never did. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen, and if it is normal to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed?

It depends are you attracted to her?

Why do you think they keep the doctor's office so cold? It's certainly not because they wanna save energy.

Going to any new doctor makes me uncomfortable. Going from "hello" and a handshake to wearing a thin piece of paper as clothing in one jump just isn't comfy. Factor in the idea of putting your feet in stirrups, and I just don't wanna.
It's worse when the doc is male. In fact, I don't plan to go to male doctors in the future, because medicine is already so much more informed on men's health that finding a male doctor who has studied men's health who can deal with a woman who has women's issues has proven difficult.

Not that I am aware of. I'm afraid that she'll notice I'm embarrassed, which will make me feel more awkward.

I always felt more comfortable with a woman doctor. The only time I felt uncomfortable is when I had a pretty hot woman doctor.
Seriously she is a professional and she has seen many a naked patient so dont feel uncomfortable to them it is thier work, just like a carpenter when they see a piece of "Wood" im sure they just get on with the job.
What is your physical for? In general, during a normal physical, nobody takes their clothes off. My daughter just changed doctors because she's 17 and had only gone to see the woman who delivered her, so we thought it was time for her to start going to Brenda's and my doctor. She had to have a physical to make sure she could keep playing team sports in high school. I was in the room the entire time for the physical. I told the doctor that I'd step out if necessary, and she said there was no reason. On the other hand, I guess I can see why a male might be asked to take his shirt off, but when I first went to see this doctor and got an exam, I never did.
Now I realize that if there are some specific reasons why you're getting this physical, then you may have to reveal more of yourself (and maybe you have in the past although it doesn't sound like it), but I'm just trying to make things more comfortable for you if any of my babbling makes sense to you.

Honestly I don't care about the nudity as much as the procedures. I've been to many doctors and am numb to being seen.
So, I ask again, WHY are you getting a physical? What "procedures" do you believe will be involved?

Okay, a prostate exam.
You're a youngin'. Why do you need a prostate exam? Something to do with your condition? I'm an old fart; I need a prostrate exam. I'm not trying to get too light-hearted here, but I'm just trying to figure out how come you changed to a female doctor and now you need a prostate exam.
P.S. Good luck, whatever happens.

She's IMO overly-thorough. She already told me it will be a "head-to-toe" exam, and asked if I've had a prostate exam. I thought it was strange too.
I guess nobody noticed my play on words in the last post...
Read it again and get a dictionary... :)

Would you be more comfortable with a male doctor? if so just tell your doctor, I'm sure she'll understand.

Would you be more comfortable if the exam was conducted by a male? if so just tell your doctor, I'm sure she'll understand.

I dont like the "downstairs look-see" part of the physical either. Ive always been more comfortable with a male doctor. Especially as a teenager, i dont want any...unexpected problems...to occur. The risk of one of those is way more likely with a female doctor.
I've had both sex doctors and am comfortable with both. I feel if they make me comfortable and know what they are doing well I am fine. I've had some major stomach issue's and have been in and out of the doctor's office and am not a big fan of them right now for they can't diagnose me correctly and well stick a fork in me I'm done with em!!!

Quite frankly, I would prefer a woman doctor. That way you can brush any "reactions" off to her being of the opposite gender.
As for the prostate exam, I second markf. You're young, so unless you have a condition/disease/paranoia of family related issues being passed on you don't need one. You've got plenty of time left in life to get a prostate exam. No rush.

Really? A hermaphrodite doctor? How did you find out? Did you play "I'll show you mine if you show me yours"? :D

Okay, so I went for my exam today and it turns out she wants me to have a testicular exam. She asked if I wanted a male doctor to perform the procedure, she postponed it until my next visit to decide. I am conflicted, I mean it's uncomfortable either way, and I felt immature acting so awkward about her doing it. Am I being too immature?
Once again, I'm not sure what she's looking for, but you do what makes you feel comfortable. I'd probably be more comfy with the woman, but did she tell you what she's checking for?

There is not gonna be a freakin' option where you can have a genderless robot come in and give you a testicular exam.
I see you've never been to a surgery in Britain have you?
"Hi, I'm Doctor Woman. I'm gonna be performing your testicular exam. Before we begin, let me get comfortable by taking off my bra and panties. Ooooooh, yeah, feel those boobies while I feel your testicles. Oooooh, yeah, here -- feel for my heartbeat. *giggles* Ooooh, it's cold!"
OK, now if I could have the address for that surgery, I'll be on my way.
well hey FF - its better than being felt-up (and by felt up, I DO mean felt up) by the TSA security guard in the airport. in front of millions of people.
male, female it doesnt matter to me either way, as most doctors are very professional and polite. they know youre worried, and they'll do their best to put you at ease. I've found it helps to just tell them youre nervous about it outright.
joke about it. if you wanna stick with her go in there and tell her youre nervous and weirded out by it, but youd be weirded out by it if it was a man or a woman doctor, so youre gonna stick with her, but that anything could happen and you cant be held responsible for anything your body does.
she'll prolly laugh (with you) and tell you it happens all the time. then when/if anything does happen, you're already covered.
but if you want a man, you should definitely go for it. I have found that though I dont mind one way or the other, I have better relationships with women doctors, and they talk to me more. I chalk it up to me being more at ease with them, and less afraid to ask questions and talk about my body. the men tend to be very brisk and businesslike, and less willing to explain.*
*totally hope I didnt just slander all male doctors. im sure there are some out there that take the time to talk, etc.

No – all my doctors have been male. I've had a few female dentists though :D.
