During my long medical career I have encountered numerous strange complaints, some real and some out of fanciful imagination of the "sufferer".
One can always sympathize with the genuine issues, physical or mental.
But what of the people especially men who are obsessed with the appearance or persistent malfunctioning of their genitals?
I have seen this obsession in especially middle aged men. The percentage is very less though. At the age when one would expect some stability in their lives, they find themselves troubled constantly by the certain appearances of their "manhood".
There is also tendency to exhibitionism and a constant need of reassurance that their machines are in quite good working order.
Takes lot of counseling...
Time consuming of course.
But one needs to be on the watch for "actors" who just waste your time with useless garble.
I have this patient, nearing 60 years.
He suffered from the same infliction - obsession with his instrument.
Every time apart from other derma issues, the lamentations would start about his "problems" down there.
Every time it took some talk to make him convinced that "this time it was still okay".
But his recent visit had me want to shout at him to stop thinking !
Just!
Stop!
Thinking!
And
Stop looking at it !
All the time !!!
Although I didn't shout. My professional commitments don't allow for this liberty.
Though I found it so amusing afterwards.
The man is almost 60, balding white hair on the scalp. Hidden by a oversized turban. But moustache and beared are styled properly and dyed jet black.
He came for some other issues and I was happy that finally he was not mentioning "the problem". Had he got over it?
But before I could heave a sigh of relief, he popped the funniest bombshell I have ever heard in my life.
" Now that we are working on my face and definitely it looks better. Could you please suggest some treatment for tightening the skin "down there" ? It has become a bit loose. "
I felt like laughing at this absurd query but very seriously told the gentleman that skin" down there "is always bit loose and not to worry about it . :))
Isn't life full of hidden humor ? :)
