Long time lurker here finally asking a question!
So I took DS12 and DD14 to the doctor today for their first yearly check-up in quite a few years and the new nurse practitioner we went to was a bit more thorough than I was expecting her to be, at least for DS.
DD stayed fully clothed the entire time but at the end of DS' exam she put on gloves and asked DD to step outside for a moment.
She then asked DS to pull his pants and underwear down and then she felt each testicle, had him "turn and cough," and then she pulled his foreskin back. Finally, she had a brief conversation with him about when he can expect puberty to start as well as proper foreskin hygiene, then she told him he could get dressed and called for DD to come back into the room.
DS obviously was pretty embarrassed by the whole ordeal and thought it was really unfair, and DD is asking questions too (the door was thin enough that she could hear everything from outside).
So I'm just wondering are boys' physicals usually that thorough (especially compared to girls)? Obviously, I don't think she was acting inappropriate or anything, but was all that (especially the foreskin stuff) necessary, especially with his sister in earshot? What happens at your kids' physicals?
