Medical exams are an important part of our health regimen, and most aspects of it are pretty painless. However, there’s one part of the physical that remains as confusing as it is uncomfortable, no matter how old you get: The testicle exam.
When a doctor holds your testicles and asks you to cough, they are checking for a hernia — specifically the intestines pushing through into your testicles. A hernia occurs when an organ pushes through an opening in the muscle or tissue that holds it in place, and although they are most common in the abdomen, according to Healthline, they can also occur in the belly button and groin.
You are more likely to feel a hernia when you cough, as this increases the pressure in your abdomen and causes it to protrude, Young Men’s Health reported. In most cases, a hernia is not a serious health concern, though if a piece of intestine becomes trapped in the scrotum, it can cut off the blood supply to the intestine and cause serious problems if not quickly corrected. If a hernia is found, it can be easily remedied with surgery

Probably the same reason he puts a hand on each of your shoulders for the prostate exam...
When a doctor is checking your colon, make sure he don’t have two hands on your shoulders...
Here's one way....
I meant prostate....
Female Doctor: “You are going to have to stop masturbating.”
Male patient: “Why?”
Female Doctor: “Because I am trying to exam you.”
Because you will cough on demand when he has control of your testicles.
I figured someone from the military would comment about their short arm inspection.
The VA is constantly reminding me, to the point of being annoying, that I haven't been probed. I'm constantly reminding them that they will never probe me, and yes, they get quite annoyed.
The hernia exam was a preparation for future exams such as the "rolling your dice" testicle examination and demonstration on how to do your own Testicle Self-Examination (TSE)

—”I’m wondering why my new dentist is doing that, he says it has something to do with covid.”
As long as he only has one hand on your back during the procedure.
When I told her about the physical, she said "it's a medical procedure".
Weird dichonomy.
That is so gross. 😆
You know you’re in trouble when the doctor is checking your prostate and he has both hand on your shoulders...
I never had a doctor do that to me during a physical. 🤔
The hand on your nuts distracts you from the hand going for your wallet.
That is an old procedure, they don’t do that anymore, same with the prostate exam they don’t give you the finger anymore they do a PSA test.
The doctor also asks for his payment at that moment. Are you going to refuse payment when the doctor has his hands on your ‘nads?
“Yes doctor, here’s your payment and a nice tip. Now, please release me!”
Because he's as gay as Bronco Bama.
Reminds me.going through the MEPS in Fresno. “The Dragon Lady” had a well known and fearsome reputation.
