When you go into get a physical will the doctor check my penis? My friend said that they asked them how much pubic hair he had is this true? Will they touch my penis?

If it's a proper school medical exam you're talking about it's normal for boys to be examined naked or with pants down. The doctor won't ask about your pubic hair as he'll be able to see it! Most likely the doctor will just look at your genitals but may examine your testes depending on your age.
If you're an adult then definitely not, unless you ask!

usually doctors dont touch the penis but maybe the testicles. while holding them they ask you to cough... mostly thats it... and if they were to check the pubic hairs it is because it depends on the age... like if ur 25 years old and u hardly have any pubic hair... theyre gna have to check if u have a hormone imbalance or something. hope this helped!

He might. It's just one of those embarassing things we have to put with. But, it is a lot less than what women go through.
So will probably check for hernia (the whole turn and cough while he squeezes your testicles). Then he might check you penis for any signs of std's. It is over pretty quick, though.
Good luck.

usually a doctor handles your penis and testicles some. they are looking for bumps that indicate a possible problem. i am not sure why they would ask how much hair he had. never had that come up.

It depends on what kind of physical. But yes they have for me looking for anything out of the ordinary. It will be a little weird at first but you'll be ok. Do not worry about becoming aroused either. That shouldn't happen.
