I'm in the 10th grade.NEVER, have I had my balls touched by a doctor or anyone from...any higher place where they can touch my balls.Does that mean I've never gotten a physical.?

You need to have your testicals held by the docter and you gotta cough! so, no you haven't had a correct, or "complete" one.

Doctors doing complete physicals should hold your balls and get you to cough. Also they should feel each testicle carefully to see if there are any lumps or bumps or hard spots and they should do a complete visual examination of the penis and the scrotum. The cough test is to check for hernia while the feeling is done to check for cancer, etc. Looking is to check for a number of things like sores or infections, tight foreskin, etc.
And yep, it is always embarassing to have someone stand there fully clothed peering at your genitals but it is essential to ensure any problems are caught early when treatment is more effective. So, if your doctor isn't giving you a thorough going over, either change doctors or insist on a complete examination. And for many that should also include the prostate exam too.

I have had a physical, but when my doctor (a woman) asks me to pull down my pants, i always refuse. I just can't do it. too weird for me. I do the self-exam though. I do remember my doctor checking me when i was younger.
