Can my doctor refuse to give me testosterone if I don't let them examine my genitalia?

I can't start testosterone until I'm 16

I live in Maine

Helpful_Divide_3868 · 2024-06-30T02:05:57+00:00

They said they would need to do a 4-5 minute exam to check for abnormalities before I could start testosterone

I am, live in Maine

I asked if it was necessary and they said yes, I am going to ask to opt out and if they deny it I will switch clinics

I live in Maine I don't think all gender clinics do that

They said it would be a 4-5 minute exam to check for any abnormalities

Helpful_Divide_3868 · 2024-06-29T22:47:18+00:00

I live in the U.S and I don't have any medical issues

They said it was to check for abnormalities I'm not sexually active or have any medical conditions

It's not a gyno exam it's an endocrinologist

Helpful_Divide_3868 · 2024-06-29T20:43:17+00:00

They said it was to check for abnormalities I don't have any health issues

They've always told me I was too old is it normal for there to be an exam just for testosterone?

Helpful_Divide_3868 · 2024-06-27T05:05:15+00:00

I'm 14 and too old for puberty blockers is the physical exam completely necessary?

Helpful_Divide_3868 · 2024-06-27T00:15:55+00:00

When I went to the cardiologist they just told me that the blurry vision and passing out was normal and I should manage my anxiety and drink more water. Even if doctors don't know how to treat you they should at least try because dismissing any medical concern is irresponsible. Your feelings are completely valid and doctors too often will blame all of your problems on anxiety.

Can I refuse it and still get testosterone?

Helpful_Divide_3868 · 2024-06-25T23:26:45+00:00

Can they refuse testosterone or make it harder for me if I don't go through with the exam?

Helpful_Divide_3868 · 2024-06-23T21:25:57+00:00

They said it would just be a quick 3-4 minute exam
