hernia check
Turn and cough
A hernia check is a medical examination where a doctor palpates the inguinal canal—typically by inserting fingers into the scrotum while the patient coughs—to detect bulges indicating a hernia.
The phrase often appears in contexts about male physicals or sports clearance exams: The doctor did a hernia check during my annual physical.
