Talking about my penis

[Jonny176]

I saw sonething weird with my prnis but i dont know how to approach my parents or medical provider about it, whats the best way?

If you don't want to directly tell your parents you could ask them to make a doctors appointment and tell them that it's something personal. But the best way is to be up front. Hope all goes well.

I honestly think that you should just tell your parents that you have a personal problem and would like to see a doctor. Once they make you an appointment, you just tell your doctor what's wrong. Ik its weird to talk to anyone, especially an adult, about your penis, but its the doctors job.

I know its a touchy subject and you are no doubt a bit self concious about it. But I have found its better just to up front about it and get it taken care of before it turns into a bigger problem. in the end its up to you what you do.

With your doctor, there's nothing you can do to lessen the awkwardness, but I assure you whatever you have going on won't be the weirdest thing they've seen. Just be direct and it won't seem like a big deal afterwards.

With your parents, you can say you need an appointment for something personal, or for a "guy issue" and they should get the drift that you don't really want to discuss it with them.

Talk directly to your doctor. Tell your parents its personal. The doctor 'legally' cant say anything that happens because of Doctor/Patient Confidentiality. He/She is there for you and to help you.

I don't know about where you live but there are clinics that you can go to that are specifically for teens and they can test you, get free condoms, ask the doctors things, etc. These clinics are free of charge. If this isn't available in your area, then I guess maybe ask your school nurse or go to your doctor or something.

Hi!

It's common for pimples to show up, down there. Another possible answer could be a ingrown hair. Those are similar and are also common down there. I would wait for 3-5 days and if it is still there or has gotten bigger or more painful, then I would set up an appointment with your family doctor. As for telling a parent, If you can tell your father if thats possible, if not then don't be afraid to tell your mother something, she isn't going to laugh or anything, She is there to help and just tell her something across the lines as " Mom, I need to go see the doctors when we can get the chance, I have a bit of a GUY problem." she should understand and set up an appointment.

I wouldn't give it too much thought right now, but if it worsens or doesn't go away then maybe it's something to look into.

I agree, depends on the degree if the situation though

Just tell them you want to go for a physical, or make something up. When you're with your doctor, explain the issue. He/she will completely understand. There is nothing they haven't seen for the most part. In med school, they learn about and see the worst case scenarios of things. It will only be awkward for you if you let it be.

just go and see a doctor, why even ask your parents, pick up the phone, book in, explain and get cured, it's dead easy dude!

[Gravity_boy]

It's hard to say. Maybe it's best to ask parents about it or just go to the doctor.

jut say you want to see a docter for personal reasons..you have the right to privacy.
