They don't "grab your balls". They press upwards under them and have you cough to check for possible hernia. If your too homophobic to get it done,(Justin) then you shouldn't be playing sports.

    Yes, while looking for lumps that might indicate cancer. And he sticks his finger into your groin along side your scrotum (sac) looking for possible hernias.

    they don't touch your balls, they check the muscles behind it to make sure they're strong and you don't have a hernia. Its critical these muscles are strong because you use them so much in sports.

    Christ, why are guys so freaking homophobic. Christ, its a valid medical exam, just like a prostate exam. It doesn't make you gay if the doctor checks up.

    They don't grab, they feel and press to discover anything abnormal, you make it sound like you need a cup for a sports physical =)

    Yeah, because he has to determin if you're healthy. Don't worry I went through it too for wrestling. Doctors do this all the time, and it only takes a few minutes to get it done. He wears rubber gloves too.

    Yeah they are going to check it out.....it is routine and all the other boys and girls for that fact have to have it done in order to play sports........So, I guess if you are going to Play Sports then you will have to have it done also..........hmmmmm........

    And for the Fact of it.....they aren't touching your balls.....they are checking the muscles and tendons behind your balls.......so, Grow Up and Get Used To It.........Be A Man......

    Good Luck and Have Fun At Sports.........

    Kinda sorta- they might do a quick check for testicular cancer (depending on the doctor) and they'll definitely check you for an inguinal hernia- they just press up on the underside of your scrotum and ask you to cough. Simple test- done and over with in a couple minutes. But it's super important if you're going to be playing sports.

    He sort of hold each ball in his hand and pokes somewhere up there with his finger while you cough. It's no big deal unless his hands are cold.
