Question:
During a physical examination of a male why does the doctor hold your scotum and tell you to cough?
What is the doctor trying to do? How does a doctor perform the same exam on a female?
Answers:
it is for a hernia, and what he is actually doing is feeling for something to move....if you have a hernia (a torn muscle in that area) when you cough he won't feel anything move there, if you don't have a hernia, something right where he puts his finger will move
