Why does your gynecologistist leave the room when you get undressed?

Why does your gynecologistist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

Here the doctor does not leave the room, but guides you to a dressing area where you can prepare yourself.

It is comparable with a fitting room in clothing store.

Although the doctor will see me naked, waste down, just in a few moments, I still think it would be strange to undress before the doctor.

Undressing before somebody else still has a lot of intimacy. It feels like a striptease to me, although it isn't technically. So probably to avoid awkward situations, the doctor will leave the office or guide you to dressing area.

Nobody says you can't undress before the doctor.

Its something i've often thought!! No idea, seems daft doesn't it?!! xx

It is just because undressing in front of him would be a bit too much like giving him a striptease. I would not mind it really but if he is not there it protects him from getting accused of things so I am sure that is why he is not in the room.

My doctor is a female but still leaves the room. I guess that is what they are taught in med school.

My gynecologist doesn’t even enter the room for the first time until I’m already wearing an exam gown and seated on the table. A nurse brings me to the room, prepares everything, and collects all of the preliminary information.

So yes, while it’s sort of a double standard with regard to modesty, it’s also a matter of keeping everything within the doctor’s office moving efficiently.

Because removing clothing requires a lot of movement and bending over and bouncing boobies that would be extremely embarrassing. The doctor comes in when I’m covered in a gown and sitting neatly.

A young American lady on YouTube , spoke of living in Europe and the doctors stay in the room while they undressed. In Italy male nurses are the norm , some ladies from North America that unfortunately have been in the hospital in Italy , claimed how uncomfortable they were with male nurses, performing intimate procedures on them .

In France, in hospital consultations a few years ago, women were directed to a closed box where they undressed and waited for the doctor to come and collect them for the consultation.

In private private practice, the office is made up of an office section in which the patient is received for the preliminary interview and a consultation box in which the examination takes place.

As soon as the interview is over, the patient is told to go to the examination room and get ready.

During this time, the gynecologist sits for a few minutes to reread the file then goes to where he washes his hands and rubs them with hydroalcoholic gel.

Then, he will focus on the patient (often already completely naked) to begin the physical examination.

Weighing is often done at the end of the consultation and then the doctor returns to his office while the patient gets dressed.

The nurse always has me change into the gown before the doctor comes in. There’s been a few times where she’s said “I don’t know if he’ll want to do an exam or not, but just in case…”

So weird isn't it and then the next moment he is looking right into your vagina

I've always undressed separately, in a dressing room in the room or behind a screen. The doctor has always remained in his place. I'm the one who moves from the room or hides from him.

Because getting undressed in front of someone makes you feel more vulnerable than simply being naked in front of them.

Here in germany you undress behind a curtain or in a small cabin, like at a clothing store and the doctor prepares the exam in the meanwhile so they dont really leave the room

Because getting undressed in front of someone makes you feel more vulnerable than simply being naked in front of them.

- yes, i would think, that is the right answer !!
