Puberty evaluation exam?

Puberty evaluation exam?


I'm a 15 year old guy, im 6'7" so my paediatrician sent me to an endocrinologist. I'm scheduled for a Puberty evaluation exam and im wondering what will happen? Will they look below my belt line? Will i get hard? The receptionist said it would be a thorough complete physical, what does that mean. My paediatrician has never looked "down there"

Thanks so much!

Try not to worry. You should be just fine. I'm sure the Dr has done this exam many times and I'm also sure he will know you might get embarrassed so you will not just be standing there naked. You will have a gown on.

No worries, young man. As you get older you will begin needing to be checked below the belt. It is an easy process. It does not take but a few minutes tops..Good Luck! = )
