I am an adult nurse practitioner and the textbook says you should do the testicle examination BOTH lying and standing. Most providers do a look while lying and th efull exam while standing. If you were to watch the Bates Tapes on Physical Assessment, some are available on line in snip-its, you would see the exam done lying and standing.

Our longtime Male family doctor retired and the practice was turned over to a young female. The previous Male doctor would only check the prostate,while I was laying down, and never check me for a hernia,testicle lump,or penis check.
Needless to say when I went in for my last physical I was a little nervous,not knowing what to expect. The physical was pretty much routine until the end when I was asked to stand up and drop my shorts. The young female was seated on a rolling chair and performed the exam while seated,which made me even more nervous and worried about getting an erection. After that procedure was done I was instructed to bend over the exam table a spread my legs,and a prostate exam was done. Much more time was spent on this part of the exam than any previous physical.
