No pants at the pediatrician

I always remember we're stripping down to my underwear at the beginning. My dad took me to my doctor's appointments, and I think in the 80s the 90s that was pretty typical to have a kid's trip to his underwear at the beginning.

@turnheadandcough well the appointments were always very embarrassing because both me and my brother would be naked and my dad would watch us strip and we were always prepared because our dad always forced us to strip at the doctors so the doctor could see everything easily. It was always embarrassing but I think it's what really got .e into medfet

I'd only have to remove my shoes for recording my height/weight, but once the nurse brought me to an exam room, it was always “take off everything, but your underwear”. I'd stay in my underwear for the entire exam, they'd be pulled down for a quick genital check and then I'd remain undressed while my brother was examined. I can recall getting dressed in my doctor's personal office after a couple exams, which meant I would've walked down the hallway in just my underwear, but I'm not sure why I had to.

As a teen, when my brother and I started being seen in separate rooms, I'd still be told to remove my clothes as soon as I was dropped off at an exam room, even though I'd be waiting 20+ minutes while our doctor examined my brother. The nurse would check in on me every so often to make sure I was okay/still there so I didn't want to get caught disobeying her orders.

When I went to my pediatrician it was almost always the same…the nurse would do the initial tests then lead me back to the exam room and ask me to take off everything except my boxers. The doctor would then come in and do the exam while I was in my boxers until the genital exam at the end. It would usually end either lying down with my boxers pulled down or standing up and having them at my knees. That was usually the last part of the exam.

I had the same experience--except I had the tighty whities. Nothing more embarrassing than sitting in my underwear, waiting for the doctor to come in, and I'm sporting a raging hard on because I'm so nervous. When it came time for the hernia check, he still had me keep my briefs on. He always had me stand up and he's pull the waistband of my underwear just enough so that he could navigate his gloved hand around my erection. That was always embarrassing.

My memory was that once shown into an exam room I was instructed to “Take off my shirt and shoes”. I didn't like doing this because I was self conscious about my body from a young age and because it was often a long wait for the doctor. Pants and underwear were lowered briefly near the end of the exam.

When I was a kid, my parents took me sometimes to a pediatrician who examined me always thoroughly. The examination began with the weighing and measuring the height, then in my socks and underwear I had to lie down on the bed( a real little bed, not a table) and the doctor was sitting beside me pulled off my socks to check my feet carefully, next without a word he pulled down my panties to exam my genitals. At first he palpated my testicles squeezing between the fingers, then the doctor checked my penis retracting the foreskin to inspect the glans at last he palpated my lymph nodes. The rest of the examination is not special for me, but the few seconds that he watched and felt my "billo" and "palline" are enough to remind it even today. I remember again the doctor, who was very cold and detached.

Even though my mother was in the room up until I was around 11, the doctor always blocked her view so she couldn't see me nude, much to my relief.

I wish my pediatrician had acted like yours. I was very embarrassed that my mother saw my examination with my panties down. I was ashamed to be examined like a small child in the presence of my mother.

For me usually no pants before the examination.

Usually in underwear pulled up after rectal temp and naked for genital and rectal exams.

I have always had my shorts and underwear on till the genital exam when lying down got pulled down. Then it was standing I pulled them down to my knees. Whether lying down or standing I had both the hernia exam, testicle and penis exam.

In the early 80s, my pediatrician was like the only pediatrician in our small town. He had no nurse or helper. The expectation , if you were really young, was for you to you to be stripped naked by your mother and told to sit on the paper they put on the exam table while waiting for the doctor to see you.

Height and weight would be taken. Temperature would be taken randomly (sometimes orally, sometimes rectally). Eyes, nose, and mouth checked. Reflexes checked. Then would be made to run around exam room. Then heart and lungs would be checked. Bend over for spine check. Remain bent over for butt cheeks to be spread. Get put on or jump up on table and lay back to have belly pushed on. Then he would listen to my pulse in my feet.

The exam would end with a testicle exam and an attempt to retract my foreskin as I wasn’t circumcised. My dad had scheduled me to get circumcised in third grade, but my mom found out after the hospital called to confirm my appointment and she cancelled it. Each year I would be told I needed to be circumcised. My pediatrician retired in my early tween years and my new pediatrician, she would let me keep my shorts on until the end although her remarks were the same as my previous pediatrician. She attempted to break the adhesions by sticking a probe under my foreskin, but it didn’t work as I ended up jumping off the table. There was some kind of cream injected inside the foreskin and I was told to exercise the area in order to get the skin pulled back.

It was more embarrassing to undress later on rather than being nude at the start.

In my experience pants always were off. until 7 underwear off too. After 7 i was allowed to keep undies shich went down to the knees at certain point of examination.
