    Nah... They and nurses in the hospital have seen it all before a million times. It's a LITTLE embarrassing to think about it, but when they keep it business-like, there's no problem. (BTW: I have had female doctors, and it seems a BIT strange, but like I said, they've seen it all before.)

    Shatzee coming back?

    I've given birth to 3 babies. They see it all when you have a kid. It doesnt bother me b/c I know its for a medical reason. And that reason only.

    I am sometimes but I changed doctors until I found one I was comfortable with. He's very professional and I find it easy to tell him what the problem is, which is the main thing I guess.

    I'm slightly uncomfortable, but doctors and nurses are very careful in keeping most of your body covered when you have an exam. They treat you with much respect and tell you everything they are doing, so that you feel more comfortable. What I'm usually thinking is "Am I ok? more than "they are looking at me". I'm sure they have seen enough body parts that we are just part of their job.

    Not shy, just uncomfortable. I am female, and would only see another female doctor for such examinations.

    It's not a matter of being shy, it's just completely weird, strange, awkward, etc. i had to do a sonogram to check to see if I had a cyst and the guy practically abused me lol. I was traumatized for days after ward's.

    I'm male, and recently I did a self exam and found a lump on one of the boys.Turned out OK, but my nads got more action from strangers than they've seen in a long time. My view is as long as she keeps me healthy she can look at anything she wants.

    I am extremely embarrassed. This is why I have never been tested for STIs.
