Underwear down or all the way off for physicals?

Does your doctor have you completely remove underwear or just lower them. Also, does your doctor have you remove underwear for the abdominal part as well as genital part? For me, those times that I am told to remove them, it usually means that they will be off for a bit longer time.... and therefore I'm completely naked for a whole minute or two.

My role play doctor initially lowers my underpants to just above my penis for lower abdominal auscultation but then has me remove them for the rest of my medical.

My doctor barely has me undress at all now, whereas, growing up and in my teens a physical exam, whether it was a school physical for sports or it was the doctor my parents took us to, almost always meant my underpants would come the whole way off. That was routine. I remember a time when my dad took my brothers and me for a physical and it was only a few months after we had been to the same clinic because we all had a stomach flu. At the visit with the stomach bug, we were told to take off our outer shirts, leaving on our t-shirts, and just to undo the tops of our jeans. So, when the physician's assistant (after we had all stopped to pee in a cup) took us into the room and got things started, he said, "alright guys. I want you to get undressed. I will be right back in to get you started before you see the doctor." He stepped out and we kind of all stalled because none of us wanted to take clothes off and "get undressed" was vague enough for us all to pretend we didn't really know what he meant. We half-heartedly took off our outer shirts (flannel shirts) and left on our undershirts like last time. We were all three wearing tank-top undershirts. Less than half-heartedly, we all undid our belts like last time but did not go as far as even unzipping our jeans. The PA came back in through a door at the other end of the room to an adjacent area where some preliminary stuff would be done. He came with a second staff person who was going to take blood samples from us while the PA set up the other room. The PA said, "take the rest of your clothes off, guys, so we can get to work" and our dad said that this was how the doctor had us when we were there with the flu, so we thought it would be ok now. The PA said, "today is different because they are all getting a physical and the doctor expects them to remove their clothes, but I know this is no fun, so they can leave their underpants on for right now but they will have to take them off when the doctor is ready for them."

My current doctor asks me to lower my underwear during my physical exam after the gown comes up for the abdominal exam. Years ago my pediatrician would remove them completely with no gown or sheet on.

Well, since I'm a girl, and I get a pelvic exam as part of my annual physicals, I have my underwear all the way off, but I'm wearing a gown.

All the way off before the abdominal exam and for the genitalia/hernia exam both lying and standing with underwear off

I haven’t had a doctor examine my genitals in twenty years. Sadly!

My current doctor has me lower my underwear for the genital and rectal exam.

It was routine to be naked at school exams, summer camp exams and sports exams as teenagers like at draft examinations.

later it was less common but happened often at beginning of job at a compulssory physical exam and at job exams following years as long as you were still a young man, or for regular check ups in a medical center about two years and planned by the center like a compulsory exam every two years.

At private doctor's office it was seldom except if the exam required really nudity such as for exam of intimate parts, genitals, balls or anus area if you were suspected to have hemorroids for instance but you could generally kept your tee shirt if you have one under a shirt

For most of my physicals, if they even did a genital exam it was just a “go ahead and lower your pants for me” and drop them down to my knees. Couple years ago I had my first physical where I was asked to undress completely but leave my underwear on and given a gown. At that exam I was asked to remove my boxers prior to her doing a genital exam. Which was my first time getting my genitals examined while lying back then a quick hernia check while standing. Also recieved my first prostate exam that day.

I’ve had both. All the way off is better. It’s been 4 years since I’ve even been asked to take my shirt off at primary care.

At the pediatrician growing up and now at my new doctor I am asked to strip down to my boxers by the nurse when she leaves the room at the beginning before the doctor comes in. I am in my boxers for the majority of the exam until the genital check. Growing up at my pediatrician he would usually pull them down to mid-thigh for the exam while I was lying down. Now my doctor lifts them up and back while I am lying down and feels around and then after I stand up for a more thorough exam of everything down there and he asks me to lower them to my knees.

As far back as I can remember I’ve always been instructed at the end of the exam to hop down and drop my shorts and underwear to my feet. The only two exceptions are 1. One time the doctor wanted my legs further apart so he assisted me in stepping out of one leg of my shorts completely and 2. An exam with new doctor where I was still instructed to drop them to my feet but once that was completed the doctor indicated that notes in my chart made reference to a cyst on my right teste. After a brief verification from my mom in the room, I was instructed to remove bottoms completely and hop on the table. I had already pulled them up and all that was left was to zip and button. Once in that position she began asking me about the location while using one gloved hand to explore my teste and the other to hold my penis against my waist. It’s always been difficult to locate for medical professionals and as she continued searching, she had me use the bottom of my t-shirt to hold my cock against my waist while she then used her other hand to assist in locating. After maybe at most two minutes of this, she was unsuccessful, recommended a follow up ultrasound and ended the exam. I laid on the table bottomless and still pinning my cock against my waist while she reviewed a document with my mom before she tapped me on the calf and said to get dressed.

Yes, it was ages ago, as a kid or teenager, I was either naked or lowered down underpants. Sometimes I was asked to lower down underpants, sometimes the doctor themselves would unceremoniously lower them down

I am totally nude, since I also get a breast exam and pelvic exam 🌸

I'm in a paper gown, nothing on under it.

Paper gown and socks, nothing more. (The floor is always cold)

Most times I had my genitals examined it was underwear down to my knees.

One female older urologist insisted strip bottom completely and pull shirt up all the way above the chest.

I had a physical last week. The doctor said let’s check the prostate and to stand up and lower my pants and bend over the table. I had been completely dressed for the rest of the exam. I had intended to lower my pants and underwear to my knees but they dropped all the way to the floor.

I’ve never removed my underwear for an abdominal examination, but a couple of doctors have slightly adjusted my underwear whilst examining me. For the genital examination, it’s generally been underpants down to the knees or they drop around my ankles. A few times I have had to remove my underpants completely:

For my first ever genital exam when I was at school I ended up just dropping my underwear to the floor although at first the doctor did want me lying down on the exam table completely naked. Ever since I have been completely naked when the genital exam has been caried out.

At my last two physicals my doctor had me take my underwear off before intimate examination, since I turned 30 he includes a rectal exam. At my previous physicals he had me lower them for a quick examination down below.

Every time I have had my penis and testicles examined they have only had me lower my pants to my knees so they can do it. When I was young the doctor would just look up the leg of my underwear on each leg to check my testicles when I was young I was always just in my underwear.

I can not remember any definite instruction as to how far. I normally drop em all the way, and, if I more than hafta turn, step out and walk to end of table.

In my online rp, I often say OK, drop em and step out, to which I sometimes have a reply if gulp.

All the way off for basically as far back as I can remember

Mine have generally been pulled down, but to be honest I would much rather have to take them completely off.

I don't remove a stitch of clothing for exams anymore. They weigh me, check my oxygen and BP, he asks me how's it going any problems, listens to my heart and lungs . Then I'm outta there.

Like mike45 below. The norm now, is not to remove any clothing for any exams nowadays. Its all done over your shirt, BP, Temperature, electronic, I just refuse to be weighed, its immediately apparent by the Mark 1 Eyeball if someone has a weight issue, the scales dont tell tales. I just dont know any primary care providers who go down that road theses days.

He usually has me take them off and put a gown on. A couple of years ago he left me fully clothed for my annual physical and just had me drop my pants and underwear for the genital and rectal exam.

I just had to lower them for the genital exam. Once I had to completely remove them when the doctor performed a visual exam of my anus.
