Q: Is there a gynecologist for guys?A: Men don't have to go every year for a pap smear or breast exam. They usually will go to their primary care doctor who will then perform a testicular check for hernias, but they don't generally go to the equivalent of a gyno unless they're having a certain problem with urination or testicular pain. Then they would go to a urologist.
Q: OK, the question everyone is wondering about: do people often pass gas during exams?
A: That usually doesn't happen...if it does, it's not a big deal. I mean, I'm there when people pass BABIES out!
