Thoughts during abdominal exam

You paint a very tantalizing picture @GraceT . 😃

Like @colddisk said, I concentrate on my breathing as I know that my heart rate & BP are elevated just due to the exam.

Also, I worry that she'll find something of concern.

My current doctor has so far had me in a gown that opens in the front, and she's always careful to make sure that my genitals are not exposed unnecessarily - so this involves ensuring that the left side of the gown is covering my genitals while my right side is exposed from shoulder to feet, then pulling the right side of the gown up to cover everything and pulling the left side of the gown out from under to expose the left side. It's almost theater as she tucks one side in, exposing about 75% of my pubic hair and then repeating it for the other side

Please don't get hard

Back when I was still with my pediatrician in my late teenage years, I would still keep all/most of my clothes on. For the abdominal exam, my shirt would either be off or pulled all the way up to my nipple line. After pressing around, he would always ask "anything bugging you?" After I said no, he would unbuckle my belt and unbutton my pants, and then pull my waistband out to check my genital region. Towards the end of when I was seeing him, (late teenage years), he would take my pants down to my thighs or ankles for the exam while I was still laying down. So I guess during the exam I was always waiting for that "anything bugging you?" question haha

My first thought is “I hope I’m not ticklish today”. My second is…”I know Where this is going” 😉

Mainly I just lay there wondering what they are doing and what could possibly be going by poking here and there. I always hope they go lower and poke and rub near my genitalia.

One time the doctor made a concerning noise that concerned me, so I had to speak up and ask if something was wrong. She simply told me she can tell that I'm going to poop real soon after the exam is over.

That was weird to hear her say that.

The doc would always ask, "does anything hurt?" I always thought that odd, because if something were truly wrong, I would have winced or moaned or had some sort of reaction. If you have to ask, the answer is "no."

@Budymac I agree, what an odd thing to say to a patient. Not really unprofessional, but I would have been embarassed.

Wondering if the doc will continue lower and pull down my underwear.

I anticipate the doctor lifting my boxers.

I had a check up one time and the abdominal exam part was coming up. “I’m just going to lift your gown up and feel around”

She lifted the gown up to my neck almost. I had boxers on and was already starting to get erect. She started auscultation and I was getting even more excited. She put the stethoscope around her neck and started to palpate my abdomen. My heart was racing and I remember her feeling my aortic pulse. She moved lower and felt my femoral pulse.

She took a “peek” down there and i was so erect. I remember her pulling my boxers down, and my penis smacked my stomach.

I would be wearing a gown so it was always exciting when they would pull that up to do the abdominal exam. Then the anticipation would build as the doctor would move their hand closer down towards my waistband
