you can request a female Dr., but there is nothing to be afraid of. everyone has to get a physical sooner or later and everyone has some reservations about it. you should ask the Dr, male or female, to explain the procedures to you BEFORE they are done to ease your anxiety.
P.S. the Dr. knows that you are nervous. no one likes to go to the Dr.

Yes you can request a female docter. The first physical is the most difficult. Actually I still hate them. It is putting yourself in another persons hands,a complete stranger. Yes by all means request a woman docter.

I've had several physicals (male doctors). The doctors I've had were very clinical...nothing AT ALL sexual in the exam. I guess it might be normal to be embarrassed the first time. I would suggest that you just go to your regular doctor, unless you've had a problem with him in the past, that makes you think he might do something more than just examine you.

Sorry to say this but Id be more embarrassed about my spelling.
Doctors don't become doctors because they like fondling people. They wouldn't last long in the job if they did. Its a job and not a perverts pass time.
Asking for a female doctor is going to raise some questions about you.

I think everyone, including women are a little uncomfortable the first time they get a physical exam. But, believe me, after years of getting them the easier it gets. Don't worry about it.

Oh grow up. You think a Doctor gets off probing your scrotum? It's just part of the job and they don't like it any more than you do. Just wait till you are in your 50's and your physical includes a prostate exam.

Let the guy do it. I had the same thought but I got real embarassed when I got a stiffy in front of a female doctor. Don't worry. I don't think they check your prostate at 18.

Just go, us women have to do it all of the time. Be a man. If you only knew how much we weren't looking, I'm a nurse and believe me you are just another body.
Don't stress it. Besides you might find out something now. Don't wait.

I would go ahead and try...it's worth a shot. My physical exam was anything but physical. It was a joke.

you may be able to request a female Dr, it depends on where you are getting the physical.
the odds of your Dr. being male and homosexual are about a million to one...
