HPV exam.

What's more embarassing than a doctor examining your arse? It's when five of them start peeking and poking at your arse trying to look for signs of HPV.

I don't know how HPV got written on my chart, but one of the doctors referred me to derma on reports of HPV. I'm clueless because to know if one has genital warts, you actually have to see the warts. I don't remember any doctor examining my privates, so how did it get reported?

The report said I had peri-anal warts. So they tried and tried to look for warts in an area of my body so private not even I have seen. It didn't end there. They also examined my other private part. After a careful and thorough search, they gave up and said I probably have none because if I have it, I would definitely know. Genital warts are supposedly hard, cauliflower-like growths that can easily be felt when cleaning.

Not that I'm complaining, it was about time somebody examined my privates for signs of anything, but they sure did it with a bang! :)
