[quote=Anonymous]My recollection is that they've always looked but last yr was the first time they palpated, and I guess that just freaked him out. While I'm trying to be more sympathetic than DH and am trying to listen, I kind of agree in terms of -- what exactly is the big deal. Can I leave it to him to talk to the dr. about not doing this? Or will they just "over ride" or "talk him into it" bc he's a kid? What exactly am I supposed to say -- we don't want you to do the testicular exam bc DS is what? Scared? Anxious? Over reacting? Wouldn't they still try to talk him into it then and do the whole "oh it's no big deal, it doesn't hurt" kind of discussion? I agree with the PPs that it's no big deal to not do this/put it off at this age, but what exactly is there to talk to DS about? I guess as a woman I just can't sympathize -- I mean think of what exams women have to go through and he's freaking out about a hand someplace for 10 seconds?[/quote]
