I was going to suggest this too. Especially if you can have a female friend come with you, just casual-like. She doesn't even have to bike, she can just come along and stand there while you talk to them, like you were both on your way somewhere together on some errand.

And rememebr, bike shop guys are constantly trying to solve saddle problems for men riders whose intimate parts are going numb, chafing, open sores, etc. This is not a new subject for them unless they just started working in a bike shop.

And yes going to the doctor is a good idea if you are bleeding!
