Female Pediatric Exam Memories

I’m curious how other women were examined by the pediatrician. Mine would have me in my panties and he would pull them open with no warning. His exams seemed to change from time to time, I remember once I was sitting on the table and he just put his hand down my panties with no warning and felt all around. Did you have a male doctor? I had some friends say the doctor would spread their labia and check very throughly. I wish 😢

I don’t recall anything more intrusive than a quick peek under the panties. I certainly never had an experience like some I’ve read here about being asked to assume the frog leg position, or having my knees pushed up to my chest for a rectal exam. I don’t even remember having a rectal temp taken. Then again, auscultation was always the most embarrassing and dreaded part of any exam I had, so it’s likely that could’ve eclipsed everything else.

Sometimes I’d have my panties pulled down in the front for a quick peek and other times it was panties off, knees apart and he’d spread my labia. It was increasingly embarrassing when I started getting pubic hair.

I have very few memories of going to the doctor when I was younger. The only time I ever remember a doctor "taking a peek" below the waist was for a rash on my inner thighs when I was probably about 10. And that was really a very benign thing. I don't ever remember having my genitals touched or even looked at by anyone until I was 18.

I remember it was like most women I talk to say, I had to be in my underpants only for the most part of the exam and the Panters came off at the very end and I had to do the frog position and my doctor spread my labias and took a look.......very strange feeling
