I think if he wasn't wearing gloves it was probably to feel the lump better, as gloves would not determine accurately what the lump was.

Lol. He probably jacks off to you. Seriously though, he has to examine it, and it's not in a sexual way, you're not intimated right.? Doctors - generally, have seen and done much worse things. It'd be worse if it was a female doc, especially if you got a *****.Health Question & Answer
It's pretty unusual for a doctor to touch another person not wearing gloves. Sounds like carelessness on his part. But, since you don't have frequent contact with him - I wouldn't make an issue of it.Health Question & Answer
Most doctors look at a scrotum from a professional perspective.....it is intact skin with no exposure to mucus membranes. Palpating your scrotum is no different than palpating fluid in your sacral area. Big deal-as long as he has proper hand washing technique...who cares.Health Question & Answer
He was simply doing his job....examining you. His choice to wear gloves or not is irrelevant. From your account of what happened ...there was absolutely nothing inappropriate. Health Question & Answer
