Being Nude or Wearing Underwear During Exams

I agree with the others here - everything but briefs off at the beginning. We all know they will come off too towards the end of the exam, but the “unknown” of how they will be removed is fun. Whether the doc will remove them, just pull them down for a quick peek, or ask me to remove them.

@daltonclancy did the new guy do the genitalia exam with underwear off? He did it both lying and standing with a light too?

When I examine a patient I just let her know that she needs to "undress and put on the gown", leaving them to interpret it how they will.

Often, modest and shy patients choose to keep their panties on which I don't mind before we get to the pelvic exam as it does not interfere. notable exception are high rise underwear that i need to have lowered to patient's hips during the abdominal exam.

As I ha e gotten older I really prefer a gown. Starting at 13 my annual physical until I went to college was strip to my underwear, which would stay on for all but the last few minutes of the exam. It was always embarrassing for me to take them off in front of my female pediatrician and nurse. If was always awkward between the time they were done and gone and I could begin to get redressed

Since I was 16 I've been examined in a paper gown, nothing on under it.

For the majority of my life, once I got into the exam room and the primary tests were done, the nurse would always say, strip to your underwear and the doc would be in shortly.

Only once at a dermatologist visit was I told to strip everything off. I did not ask for a gown.

Currently, it is still the strip to your underwear mode.

I guess I am used to the strip off mode so asked to be nude initially would feel strange.

Gotta be nude. The doctor should do the stripping

You are aware that probably is not going to happen in the real world.

En i have been on rectal exam's.

Then often give a grown. But not on the pre healthcare there is like lover you pants and lay down.

I follow what the doctor says so it goes easy

Throughout the 1900's (damn, that makes me feel old) my exams usually started with me wearing just my underpants. They were either be lowered or removed near the end of the exam. I was usually asked to lower/remove them myself. But there were several doctors who would lower them themselves if I was standing.

I did have one doctor who wanted me naked through the entire exam. He was Indian, Dr. Ram (with about 20 letters following). For my first exam with him, his nurse (also his wife and receptionist) escorted me to an exam room, did the premilinararies then told me to remove 'everything'. I assumed that meant all 'outer' clothes so I striped to my underpants as usual and sat on the exam table.

When Dr. Ram entered and we had introduced ourselves he had me lie down on the exam table. He then asked me to lift my hips, which I did, and he proceeded to slide my underpants down and off, hanging them a hook next to the rest of my clothes. My initial thought was 'I guess I'm not getting those back any time soon', and indeed they stayed off for the entire exam. I wasn't bothered but thought it unusual. Maybe it was the custom in India (Dr. Ram went to medical school there.)

Subsequent exams followed the same pattern, I just knew to start off striped down completely. I thought he was a good doctor and stayed with him until I moved from the area.

This century, the norm seems to be to minimize exposure for most general wellness exams.

Do any dr offices make you strip down to your underwear and gown anymore. I have not had that in years and at multiple drs offices.

It seems to be a thing of the past. It has not happened to me since I was a teenager in the 1980s.

I remember when i was young and was going to the family doctor i would not put on my underware so i could be naked in front of the nurses , i dont know why i thought it would be cute.

And how would they react to the sight of your presentation ?

@HeatherR : and everytime your doctor looks under the gown?

I wish I was stripped at all. Haven’t had an exam without clothes on in years. I want one!

I always leave that choice up to my doctor. I’m more than happy to just be naked the entire time but there’s also something thrilling about having the doctor ask me to take off my underwear and having my erection spring out like a jack-in-the-box

I had a full skin check at the dermatologist today. The nurse who led me back asked me if I wanted a gown to or to wait in my underwear or nude. I was a bit startled as I’d never been asked that question before. I opted for underwear. The PA, who was very attractive, came in after about a twenty minute wait in the room that was about 75F. I was afraid I’d start sweating! Anyway, the PA came in and did her inspection. Then she had me stand up and she pulled the back of my underwear back to examine my buttocks. Then she had me pull my underwear down for a very brief visual exam of the area. I don’t have a lot of moles and stay out of the sun so it was not that invasive of an exam but still hot. I liked waiting in my underwear on the exam table even though it was hot in the room. Reminded me of being at the pediatrician for sure. Anyway glad I picked underwear. I think if I was nude I would have popped a boner when she came in the room to examine me.

I prefer underwear! Makes it so there's always a part where the doctor has to lower them to examine you further haha

In practice, I start stripped to the waist, and end up naked.
