Q: Can Religious Reasons Exempt For Hernia Exam During Physical

A job I will apply for requires a physical exam. I have religious/psychological reasons that are against being checked for hernia. How do I go about being exempt from that part of the exam?

Let's keep this serious. I was sexually molested several times as a kid. And I am 25 years old and have never had a sex life because of this.

Think about why you would not want to be examined for a hernia, and what it would mean to you if you were to undergo a hernia examination. The choice is yours as to what you do, and maybe you could discuss your concerns with the employer and those doing the medical examination.
