I've already been thinking I'm gonna be embarrassed! The night before my consult, I looked up the urologist and saw that he was relatively young, as far as doctors go. I'm so accustomed to seeing dr's who are 20 yrs older than me, and when I saw that the urologist was not too much older than me, I just *knew* he was going to be hot. I know, I know, so not what I should be focused on, but I was.
The thing with the topical med is that I'm not sure I can use it b/c of sensitivity issues. Maybe the day I go will be one of my "numb days".

asking about the topical med is a good idea. without it there's just a bit of initial pain and it goes away quickly. they also put in a rectal tube when i had it done. just to do measurements which i didn't understand.
nothing hurt. the staff were wonderful. very helpful and supportive and my dr was great. it turned out i had a neurogenic bladder related to my MS and was tx'd with detrol with great success.
so, getting the needed info will help you tremendously in the long run.
keep us posted. i wouldn't say you had anything to be nervous about.
