My fear of having my own 'private' check-up?

Question

I have had the problem of feeling I need to go to the toilet all day (and when I do nothing really comes out, and there's always a dribble at the end, but no burning or anything like that) for the last two years. Never actually having done anything about it, but having asked around online, everyone tells me I should go have a doctor check it up.

However, I am terribly scared that the doctor will feel me up in places that I don't want to be touched (I'm a guy, by the way). I know I should just 'buck up' and having a doctor touch your private zone isn't supposed to be a big deal, but for some reason I really don't want it to happen.

Does anyone know what I should do - in my situation is the doctor even going to be likely to touch me there?

Answer 1

I think your prostate could be swollen. My grandpa had that same issue and would go and go and go, and very little would come out.  Also sometime he would stand at the tolet for hours. Come to find out he didn't get checked in time and got prostate cancer.  The earlier the checkup the better.  You may be uncomfortable, but its for the best. Just remember he sees hundreds of those a month he won't remember yours.

Answer 2

Answer 3

you need to have it checked, and sorry to tell you you will get a prostate check for that, so be prepared for a finger up the butt

but you do need to get it checked out, if the urine is backing up in your kidneys it could lead to kidney failure and death

so just deal with it

Answer 4

Relax even if the doctor has to touch you its to be able to help you.

You have kept quiet with the problem for too long better go immediately the problem could be getting worse.

The doctor has seen all this for so many people yours will be nothing new and he has one so whats the big deal?
