Doctor, Awkward and Health: Prostate implies an Antistate

Prostate implies an Antistate

By artsmart1 - 06/03/2010 00:40 - United States

Today, I went to go see a specialist for my prostate and was told he would have to do an exam before I could leave. Having had this checked just the previous year, I was more than a little irritated. As I was bent over the table the Dr. said, "Now, just pretend I'm Angelina Jolie." FML

Today, I had to get a prostate exam. Right before the doctor started, he told me that if I found it awkward at all, I should just imagine I was being probed by aliens. FML

Fingered

Today, I went to see a doctor because of some blood in my stool. Not only is the matter embarrassing enough as is, it turned out the doctor was a young, crisply dressed, extremely handsome man. I then had his finger in my ass for a check-up, all the while him being very nice about it. I'm still mortified. FML

Today, I went to the physician to check my rear because it was hurting. My usual doctor wasn't available, so he was replaced by a gorgeous woman with big cleavage. when she asked me to pull down my pants, she saw that I had a huge hard on. FML

Today, my doctor told me to take off my pants so she could do a checkup. When I took them off, she gasped. When I asked what was wrong, she said she was expecting something else. She thought I was a dude. FML

Today, I got prostate examination for the first time. Now I can't decide what's worse, the fact that I got a boner when the doctor inserted his finger, or the fact that my wife told the story to pretty much everybody we know. FML

Today, as a going away present after five years of military service and one combat tour, the hospital scheduled me for a prostate exam. FML

Today, I noticed my doctor has freakishly huge hands. This normally wouldn't have bothered me were I not there for a prostate exam. FML

Today, I was at the gynecologist and he was performing a routine check-up. He was a new doctor and I was just slightly uncomfortable with him. About mid-check-up, as he felt around my uterus, he said in a cartoonish voice, "Oh, it's so squishy up here." The doctor turned me into a sock puppet. FML

Today, my fiancé had to perform his first prostate exam. He told me he was quite nervous about it, so I reminded him that he did fine on his first pelvic exam last month. His response: "Yeah, but I've had my hands up plenty of vaginas already." FML

Relaxed

By Sorry, Doc - 10/09/2022 01:30

Today, I was very tense as I sat in the chair for my gyno appointment, so the doctor repeatedly told me to relax, in order for her to do the routine exam. I then overcompensated and relaxed so much, I accidentally farted in her face. FML

...finger instead of the doc's, I guess. I've heard that men have very sensitive nerve centers (like a ********) in that area. Gay or straight, it's supposed to feel quite good to have it stimulated right - which I hope the doc wasn't trying to do. I wouldn't be pleased if, while getting a breast exam or gyno check-up, the doc told me to imagine he's Gerard Butler or someone. Highly inappropriate of him and most awkward if you actually did!

Let's see prostate cancer or a few minutes of discomfort... I'd take the exam, because I don't know if any of you realize this, but prostate cancer is no walk in te park. it leads to impotency, and then you have all the horrible affects from the treatments, your family has to watch you whither away, and then there's the "this treatment did nothing but we can try this..." boo hoo the doctor made a lame joke, get over it.

Maybe you do not mind having something shoved up your ass... but I'm sure a man would not feel the same! don't just base your opinion on your own like/ not like!!! put yourself in other's shoes and forget you're a female! unless you only hang out with faggets (no offense).

I am a man and I enjoy having my prostate touched. I am gay yes. But I know tons of straight men who like it too. In fact, most do. Also, don't use the word ******. It is rude and you shouldn't.

you went to a prostate specialist and you didn't expect that he'd want to examine your prostate?

I have to say that's not so much your FML, more like the doctor's! Seriously, he has to do it on a regular basis.. that's gotta stink (literally lol)!

snickers, if he went to see a specialist it means he's in serious pain, with either an infection or possibly cancer. in either case, the exam would be incredibly painful. open your books and try learning a new word: empathy.

So based on your logic than every female who has a child should post an fml? "Today I had a 6-9lb living thing come out of my vag!" I mean seriously. Having a prostate exam is not something I am looking forward to having in the future and hope technological advances makes it less uncomfortable and awkward. Really this isn't much of an fml considering this is routine. The purpose the OP posted it as a fml was because of what the doctor said. Personally I would have just laughed, yeah it would have been awkward but I think it was the doctors poor attempt to be funny.
