Cough and Drop

Bengaboy · 9 Dec 2008 at 00:39

Well, im going for my navy medical tomorrow where a very nice indian man is going to have to caress my balls for the infamous cough and drop.

But it got me thinking...why? What do they get from it?

Ive already had one medical from the navy, now having another - so thats twice my balls have been cupped.

I tried cupping my balls and coughing to try and see if I could notice anything and I couldnt. Wouldve been great if my mum wouldve walked in whilst doing it! :cool:

Yeah, I've had this done twice and always wondered exactly what it proved. First time was a really hot woman doc too

In the Navy, how do you separate the men from the boys?

With a crowbar!

Oh, be nice.

Checking for hernias or cancer?

Vulcan · 9 Dec 2008 at 00:50

It's done to detect hernias. If you have a defect in your abdomen it will pop out when the test is done. I've had the test done by the RAF, however there they just apply pressure to your lower abdomen instead of cupping ... don't even have to take the boxers off.

Ball cupper?

dangerstat · 9 Dec 2008 at 12:30

I had this at my medical at OASC at Cranwell, can't say it's a pleasurable experience and I've no idea why they do it

swyllie2000 · 9 Dec 2008 at 12:33

What part of a woman do they hold?

ninjabib · 9 Dec 2008 at 13:24

The chesticles?

Swiftan · 9 Dec 2008 at 17:20

The last 2 times I've had it done it was just two fingers into the lower groin/pubic area for a hernia. Think they check your balls to see that they've dropped and that you're all man

Where do women normally get held when the doc wants to know if their testicles have developed correctly?

Snograt · 9 Dec 2008 at 17:23

So it's a test for peritonitis? Wonder why every general medical specifically checks for that - is it very common?

thats how they do it for the offshore medical

It's something you don't want someone to have when in the middle of a crisis where lives are dependant on your physical well being and ability to perform, no.
