Feeling nervous about going to the doctor?

Question

im going to the doctor this week. normally i dont mind these appts, but in this case i do. its kinda personal, but one of my balls has been really irritating me. its not painful, just very irritating. im going in just to be safe. but i dont have my own doctor and the idea of any doctor checking my balls makes me really nervous. it always has. how can i overcome this feeling of nervousness and relax on the day of the appt?

Answer 1

I know that you feel embarraced but try to relax. Doctors have seen it all before. Write down your symptoms and take it with you to give to the Doctor. it helps as you might miss telling him something important if left to your memory and it also helps to break the "ice" as he can read your list and ask you questions...

Answer 2

Anyone in the medical field has seen it all. Trust me, we pay no attention to it at all. So no need to be shy or embarrassed.
