Craig, 54, kept his trousers on for the segment but Dr Amir could be seen carrying out the examination with his right hand.
While the check was being performed, Craig turned his back to the studio audience.
He was still filmed from the side, however.
Dr Amir used his thumb and forefinger to carry out the examination as Craig looked nervously at his Loose Men co-stars, Sam Thompson and Charles Spencer.
The audience, meanwhile, laughed as he glanced at them.
Once Dr Amir had finished, the Irish telly star asked him: "How are they doing? They good, the lads, yeah?"
Dr Amir replied: "They're good! They feel good!"
As the audience broke into applause, Craig said: "This is a high point, the audience are clapping my testicles."
The check on Craig's testicles was done as part of a segment titled Loose Men Health Clinic on Thursday's pre-recorded show.
Dr Amir said they would be moving on to a prostate examination next, explaining that prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer detected in men.

But holding his hand up in the air, Craig exclaimed: "Woah, there is only so much I will do for television!"
Craig then produced a fake 'trainer rectum' from under the Loose Men desk for Dr Amir to use instead.
Dr Amir said he wanted to "take out the stigma of a prostate examination" and proceeded to perform one on it.
He donned a pair of blue surgical gloves and used lubricant jelly to show viewers and the audience how a doctor would carry out the check at a GP practice.
"There's no need to fear that prostrate exam at all," Dr Amir said.
Viewers at home were surprised to tune in to the scenes playing out on ITV during their Thursday lunchtime.
Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, one Loose Men fan simply mused: "Wholesome content!"
The hour-long spin-off replaces Loose Women with a male panel every few months on ITV.
The first episode of Loose Men aired in November 2020.

Clarke Carlisle wins £100k on The 1% Club for Soccer Aid
Comedian Lee Mack returned to present the show but this time he was joined by 100 celebrities and sports stars as opposed to the general public. They were put to the test in the quiz where 'the questions have nothing to do with remembering facts, but are all about logic and common sense', explains the Radio Times. The aim of the game was to make it to the end, answering the 1% question correctly to take home up to £100,000 for charity and they were successful. It's the 1% question... Three Lions, two words. What are they? #The1PercentClub At the very end of the show, only two celebrities remained with a chance at making the overall donation total £100,000. Unlike regular versions of the show, the celebrities were working together rather than against each other like members of the public would. While comedian Lloyd Griffith got the final question incorrect, former footballer Clarke Carlisle answered it correctly and won the prize money. Carlisle has also previously been named Britain's Brainiest Footballer. The prize fund included £1,000 from celebrities who were out of the show, having answered a question incorrectly. Former Leeds United defender Clarke Carlisle (once crowned Britain's Brainiest Footballer) has won £100k for UNICEF by absolutely smashing the 1% Club without even using a PASS.

As pointed out by the Radio Times, the show isn't about knowing facts, it's about using your brain to answer the questions. Each player gets one pass which they can use to help them skip a question but once they have used it, an incorrect answer takes them out of the game. If they make it to the 1% question, they are asked to go down to the stage for the final question where they see if they are winners.
