The purpose of having the boy's mother in the room is primarily to ensure that the medical treatment is provided properly and the health concerns are addressed. A young child, male or female, cannot express symptoms of illness or properly communicate with the medical provider.

Also there is no legitimate reason for the mother to leave the room. Obviously the mother took her son to the medical appointment. Eventually she will need to speak with the medical provider regarding the exam, so why should she wait talk to the provider at the end. The only logical place for the mother to be is in the exam room watching the exam, ensuring cooperation with the exam by her son, ensuring the examination is done properly, and is available for discussion and can question the medical provider. In any event, no medical provider will even question the mother's decision to witness the exam.

The only one who might object to the mother's presence is the son. It is not his decision to object. He is under the full care and control of his parents. They make the decision regarding, well... everything. When he is under the age of twelve (12), there will likely be no discussion and for the most part the child will want his mother present just for his own comfort. At age thirteen (13) the boy will be starting puberty and may object to his mother being present for the exam. His objections are not acceptable. For all the reasons stated above, the mother must remain present and observe the exam. The mother should also always demand a full nude exam, to check all skin area for any issue (skin cancer is really on the rise) and his genitals should be examined as well. If the son raises an objection, than that should be dealt with harshly, but the issue should be resolved prior to the day of the medical appointment. The mother should continue to attend all medical appointments until the son is no longer covered by her insurance.

Sarah, your arguments in backing of the presence of mother during the medical examination of her son are quite sensible and logical. Moreover that the medical office policy require the presence of a parent or guardian on the examination of underage patients. I also agree that the mother has full authority to take decisions on everything which is related to the growing, bring up and health of her son and she is not obliged to comply with his wishes and caprices. Is it right, however, she to monitor the entire examination even in its most intimate part as a check for hernias, pulling the foreskin and uncovering the glans and the testicle exam if the boy has entered puberty and seek more privacy? At this age he would not want her to see his grown penis and pubic hairs.

Have your mother seen in another way your penis unless at your physical exams? How developed were you at this age? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I absolutely agree with you, Sarah. The presence of a mother during the examination is in the best interest of her son. Medical staff will often not only accept, but welcome the decision of the mother to observe the exam as her presence often ensures a higher degree of cooperation. Also it enables a mother to keep fully informed about her childs development and address health issues immediately, as well as to make sure that the exam is carried out appropriately.

To Sandra: "I absolutely agree with you, Sarah. The presence of a mother during the examination is in the best interest of her son.

You are right, Sandra. However, to achieve comfort in the relationship between mother and her son need a full understanding and cooperation of the young man who sometimes is difficult condition to meet. With the first appearance of pubic hair and visible enlargement of the penis in the onset of puberty usually begins stage of sexual awareness and a strong desire for privacy. On the other hand in terms of rapid physical growth and sexual development when the risk of abnormalities and diseases is significantly increased, the privacy of the young boy can not be too sacrosanct. Monitoring this dynamic process is essential for the timely detection and treatment of abnormalities and diseases such as phimosis, undescended testicle, hernia and others diseases which, due to embarrassment and shame is likely to be overlooked or even concealed by the shy young boy who does not realize their importance. Usually the person who is entrusted with the care of health and hygiene of the boy, monitor his physical development and escorted him during his medical examination is his mother or other relative - usually female. This puts boys in a rather awkward position because such care often require partial or full nudity and sometimes manipulation and treatment in the genitals. However this is a little price for a boy to pay for a smooth and seamless entry into maturity.
