[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a serious red flag for sexual abuse. You need to fully investigate this further. I am a physician and please - do not brush this off with your son. Seek professional assistance.[/quote] I agree with this, unless, as a PP suggested above, your son got aroused during the palpation and feels humiliated about it. Ask the physician to skip it. [/quote] Yes. OP, tell your son now that he will go to the doc but will not have that part of the exam done. And make sure you tell the doc that your son is declining it. People always have the right to decline medical procedures, barring a specifc law to the contrary. Then you need to ask your son directly if he has ever been touched inappropriately. Say it's your job to keep him safe, and no matter what he says he will not get in trouble. Then be quiet and see what he says. Take his answer calmly, whatever it is.[/quote]
