So I’ve Avoided Complete Male Physicals For The Last 38

So I’ve avoided complete male physicals for the last 38 yrs due to a really embarrassing episode of medical body shaming with an erection during an exam years ago.

At age 55 I’m scheduled for one next week!

Would do anything to get out of it... don’t mind going to the urologist (They get it- sort of their wheelhouse)

What can I do to make the MD know it’s more than just being embarrassed, it’s become a phobia for me. (28 years is a long time to hide from care).

Just would like the MD not to be a cunt about it.
