The only time I had a really awkward moment with a medical situation had nothing to do with an exam, but when a few weeks after my vasectomy I had to drop off a container of my splooge to the urologist.
I remember trying to return it as nonchalantly as I could to the receptionist when she asked in what seemed to me to be a rather loud tone, "You're here to drop off a sample of semen?" Several people in the waiting room looked up, including the female partners of the guys who were there and I felt like every eye was on me as I answered rather meekly and slid the cup across the check-in counter and then departed as soon as she told me how long the results would take. I guess it could have been worse as the doctor had previously instructed for either my wife or I to keep using protection till a negative result came back and in my mind's eye I was worried she would repeat this warning out loud.
My wife joked to me later when I told her about this that I should have answered in a more sarcastic braggadocio like, "Yes, it is, and I almost needed a bigger cup!" or "Yes, this is my semen sample that I ejaculated into this cup!" But fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how one looks at it), that's not me.
