This long and hilarious thread about an embarrassing medical examination has an important message
When Twitter user @GtotheP experienced some intimate discomfort, he got it checked out and very kindly shared the whole excruciating saga with us.
Here’s something for you.
A couple of years ago, I had a constant pain in one of my testicles.

I’ve never been one for actively going to the doctors due to a fear of needles and all that, but after 2 weeks of my testicle feeling like it had been head butted by Zidane, I decided to get it checked out.

I arrived at my appointment and was called to a room where my balls would be inspected.
A lovely lady was in there.

I explained the pain and she asked me to take off my trousers and pants and call her when I was on the bed.
LOL

Once on the bed, I gave her the “I’m ready’ call and she bound in with her hands gloved up and a look on her face which was bloody serious

My balls retracted into my body, like a frightened two-headed tortoise.

She didn’t piss about. Both balls were pulled around, prodded and squeezed. She was a very kind lady.

After a good cough, she said she would like to refer me for a scan. And she DID (thank god, what could it be?)

I was very worried. You know those thoughts which go through your head where you fear the worst?
Well I was having those.

I had a curry the night before my hospital appointment to calm my nerves (chicken biryani) and I felt ok.

I arrived at the hospital and waited to be seen.
I was desperate to do a big toilet but was worried about missing the person who calls you through.

As time went on, air was building up inside my arse and it was difficult to release any of it without offending others so I had to hold it in
— G to the P (@GtotheP) July 10, 2018
My name was finally called and I was shown to a dark room. In there was a lady next to a bed and a lady sitting at the end of the bed.
It was a very welcoming scene
