I absolutely despise going for my annual exam - but I've always had a female dr do it, as I'm convinced she will be more understanding of my needs and concerns (very personal decision, I know). I dread it from the time I make the appointment til my feet come out of the stirrups. But every year I survive. And there's much to be said for peace of mind. Coming from a family of cancer victims, this is one of the easiest things to do to keep my health in check.

I've never heard of a woman being excited about having a her annual exam, or a male about having a prostate exam, but it's part of being a responsible adult.
