For boys, a doctor visually examines the penis and scrotum and may touch to check for conditions such as a hernia, tumor or undescended testicle. For girls, a doctor may manually spread the labia, the outer lips surrounding the entrance to the vagina, to look for signs of infection, sexual activity or sexual abuse.
