I understand completely. :(
But I know I owe it to my family to get those checkups so that I can stay healthy.
Ok, my advice might sound silly, but it's really good. Try to choose a woman doctor, and if you can, a woman doctor with small hands. My ob/gyn who moved was able to do all the examinations without my even noticing. She'd ask me a hard question, and while I was thinking she'd be in and I'd never even know it. Very deft.
My current ob/gyn is also a woman, but has large hands. And their nurse practitioner had hands from a monster movie. :(((
