Best Tip We ask you to cough when checking for hernias. What the coughing does is make you do a valsalva maneuver (increases the pressure in your abdomen) for a brief moment where we can feel if there is a hernia hitting the MD's finger. You can also get the same result if you bare down (hold breath and increase pressure, like when you need to have a bowel movement and can't. Others Checking for hernia behind the testicles. Turn your head and cough. I believe it checks the prostrate without doing a rectal. Because you tense up when the doctor touches your testicles. They ask you to cough because a cough causes all the muscles to relax and they get a better feel, so to speak. They are checking for tumors and hernia.
