Question: Physical at the pediatrician (just a quick question)!?
When you get a physical at the pediatrician, do they check "down there"!? Is that normal!? Should I say I don't feel comfortable showing my private parts to people!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You can ask them not to check down there but it not like they haven't seen it before!.Sometimes they are checking to see if there is a problem that needs to be took care of!.If you are sexually active it's a good thing to get checked!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No, you mainly take a drug test(pee in a cup) they ask you questions about your period!. And they look at your breasts, like to see how theyre developing!. My doctor ask me if i feel comfortable enough to show her my breast!. even thou i really dont like it i do it anyway!. Other then those things its pretty much a checkup (hearing test, blood presue, weight, listen to your heart beat, ect!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com
