Girls Women Would U Allow A Male Doctor To Physically Examine You. Pls Give Reasons Either Way

What is a girl's physical like at the doctor's office? I'm really scared and I'm 17-years-old.

Your doctor will want to check you for health issues.Sexual health may be part of the physical. You have the right to ask for a nurse to be present at all times during your exam. If, for some reason, you do need to remove your clothes (partial or all), you should be given a paper gown to wear. If you aren’t, demand to know why.Shots are only given as part of your vaccination program for things like mumps (which can have serious consequences if you come down with them as an adult). But you wouldn’t normally get them during a checkup.Here’s what happens during my checkup:My doctor takes my blood pressure using a cuff that goes around my upper arm and is inflated until it is tight enough that she can read my blood pressure. For this reason, I often wear a short sleeved top (even in winter) to my doctor’s. She may listen to my lungs with her stethoscope (usually against my back’s bare skin). She’ll ask me to open my mouth and use a wooden tongue depressor to look down my throat. I get weighed and measured the first time I see a new doctor.Blood tests aren’t usually done by the doctor. Instead, she writes down what she wants tested (iron levels, platelet counts, B vitamin levels, blood sugar, lipids, cholesterol levels, etc. - the list gets higher as you get older ;-)). Then either a trained nurse, or a specialist known as a phlebotomist, will draw blood. It’s one needle and they attach little tubes to it. Takes about 5 minutes. I have small veins, so I often ask for a kid’s needle (which is smaller and also less painful).You may also be asked to provide a urine sample to check some kidney health stuff. They give you a little plastic jar and then send you to the bathroom. I find this the most stressful part of the physical, as in, Can I pee? How’s my aim, etc.?If you are getting a gynecological exam, you will be asked to lie down on the examination table and put your feet up in stirrups. The doctor uses a speculum (a tool that slides inside, then opens up a little, so that she can see your cervix and ensure that it is healthy. She may also take a pap smear at this point. The pap smear is sent to a lab where it is checked to make sure that you don’t have cervical cancer pre-cancerous or cancerous cells. If it’s your first time seeing a gynecological specialist, she may also show you how to conduct a breast and lymph node examination to check for suspicious changes. And you’ll typically get a pamphlet to help remind you how to do it.

I want to know about the medical examination done after clearing the SSB interview. What kinds of tests are done?

Brother I will let you know the procedure which I went through for army.First day you have X-ray(of chest PA view), blood sample, urine sample and ultrasound.For ultrasound you will be asked to not have food.Second day is dental day, you have dental checkups a minimum of 14 points is required.Third day you have surgicals, here you are checked for limb deformities whatsoever and it's functionality, along with flat foot, carrying angle or elbow angle, hernia, anal tags etc.Fourth day you have ENT, here ears are checked for wax and hearing test is conducted in a unusually quiet room with headphones on, you will be asked to raise hands after you hear the beep, frequencies of 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000Hz are used in one ear first then other one, each frequency is beeped for three time in descending order of volume, your concentration should be there to hear the faintest sound. Then nose is checked for DNS, and throat for any infection.Fifth day you have eye tests, here first test is refractive error test, pressure test, reading, field view, color blindness, squint eye check, retinal burns check.Finally on sixth day you have your medicals, here your height, weight, BP, chest size and expansion are measured.This ends the procedure, if you are a candidate for flying duties you will be scrutinized further, mostly on spinal related tests.

Why does the USA call female circumcision 'female genital mutilation' when male circumcision is widespread in the country?

Why?Because male circumcision is very profitable for the medical and cosmetic industry and female isn't.First, I will state directly that the most extreme form of female cutting, infibulation, is empirically worse. That involves the removal of the labia and external clitoris and sewing up the vagina. There is certainly no comparison between that and western male circumcision- it's obviously worse and CANNOT be compared!What you may not know is that such a procedure accounts for only 10% of female genital cutting worldwide. What is far more prevalent is the removal of the clitoral hood. In its most-practiced form, “Sunat”, a piece of flesh smaller than a grain of rice is removed from the clitoral hood.There is certainly NO comparison between that and western male circumcision- it's obviously FAR LESS EXTREME and CANNOT be compared!Yet EVERY form of female cutting, from the “ritual nick” (which removes no flesh at all) to total infibulation is given the same term- Female Genital Mutilation.Simultaneously, EVERY form of male cutting, from removal of the preputial overhang right up to removal of the foreskin, opening up of the penis along the urethra, splitting the penis and flattening the split organ on a rock, is given the same term- circumcision.You think I'm joking about that?

Should girls be allowed to join boy sports?

Before puberty, girls and boys have fairly similar levels of physical ability. Just looking at level of play, children younger than about 7–9 could not be distinguished from one another. At this point in development, there is no real reason to separate the genders in play sports and many leagues (like my nephew’s U-6 soccer league) do have mixed gender teams.As young people hit puberty, however, boys’ and girls’ physical abilities do go in drastically different directions. Increased muscle mass as a consequence of boys’ physical development make the average male athlete stronger and faster than the average female athlete. This is not to say that there are no females that couldn’t keep up with male sports leagues. The most athletic females may be able to play on the same level as males, but those would likely be few and far between.The greater concern about females playing sports with males after physical development is safety. With boys only averaging 10–15 lbs. more than females during the teenage years, there could be a 30–50 lb. difference between two athletes facing off in a game. That difference is added probability to severe injury and mutilation, and is the same reason there are different leagues for age groupings.Safety being the most important consideration, that being said, I do not think that women should be prevented from trying out for male sports leagues, and they should make the team if they play at the same level as the team. There are definitely certain positions on teams where a female player at the height of athleticism could match the ability level of male players. In Florida, back a couple years ago, there was a female high school pitcher who made the news section on ESPN because she had been dominating the male competition throwing a knuckleball. While most pitchers find their success through throwing hard, the knuckleball is a specialist pitch that doesn’t require speed but control. Becoming the expert at a specialized skill like that high schooler is probably the route that the first female to play on the professional level men’s teams will have taken.

Do male doctors get annoyed or offended when a patient requests a female doctor?

It really depends on the situation. If the patient is asking based on religious and cultural beliefs and does so in a respectful manner, then I see no reason why you shouldn't try to accommodate the patient.I think it's only offensive if the patient is prejudiced against a doctor based on his or her gender. It's the same as being prejudiced based on skin color.Male doctors are likely to know just as much about female anatomy and physiology as female doctors, and probably way more than anyone outside their specialty.It goes both ways. Don't assume a female surgeon is any less capable than a male surgeon.Don't assume an African American doctor is any less capable than a white doctor.I’ve rotated thru OB/GYN clinics where patients have often requested to be examined by a female doctor. In some cases, it's because they were victims of abuse and an exam by a male doctor would be traumatic. We absolutely found female doctor they trusted in order to insure a comfortable and safe experience.Other times, patients asked for a female doctor only because they thought the male doctor was incapable. The male doctor happened to be the supervising physician with much greater experience than any of the female physicians. He politely obliged and used it as an opportunity teach the residents he supervised.I did feel bad for another male resident in the clinic who was very kind, intelligent and professional. He was constantly denied the opportunity to help female patients due solely to his gender. His education suffered and the patients missed an opportunity to receive care from an excellent young doctor.Doctors are here to help you regardless of gender. We are trained and capable and can empathize regardless of gender. We try our best not to pre-judge you based on your gender, background, or ethnicity (only as it relates to evidenced based risk factors).Please extend us the same common courtesy.
