[quote=Anonymous]Talk to your son about it. He has a right to decide when it comes to his own body, especially his private parts. Try to find out what exactly bothers him... - maybe he doesn't like to be touched down there. - maybe he got an erection and is now embarrassed it may happen again. - maybe it hurt and he is now scared it may hurt again. - maybe the doctor was insensitive, pushy, claimed "Stop whining, it's no big deal." etc. In that case you need a better doctor. Either way...it is NOT necessary he get this done at his age. But do make sure he understands what the exam is for, how the exam SHOULD go down, what is checked and why. Maybe that'll help him understand that even though he hates it he wants to get it done to make sure he's okay. Talk is key either way. And respect your son's decision. [/quote]
