Undershirts during physicals (for men)

Does any guys here wear an undershirt as part of your outfit when going in for a physical exam?

From what I've gathered, most men tend to wear something simple like a T-shirt or polo with shorts to to facilitate removal. Wearing an undershirt would mean another layer to remove, and I am curious if you can remain in underwear & undershirt, at least for a while?

What type of undershirts do you normally wear? Do you make a point to avoid wearing an old or saggy one to the doctor’s office?"

Nowadays, they don't care. I don't usually even undress at the doctor now. But I remember sometimes in my teens trying to keep my undershirt on and being specifically told I couldn't.

@JakeNewYork And that's what I'm lamenting. Physicals have become so dull.

I don't wear a shirt under other clothes. My urologist usually asks me to wear an apron. However, if I'm a general practitioner, I don't take off any clothes. The doctor checks with a stethoscope over the shirt.

I wear undershirts in winter time, but I would probably not wear one in the summer unless I was coming directly from work. My doctor does still have me remove everything and put on a gown.

I suffer from asthma and I am also a physically fit runner. I often push myself very hard during a run. Sometimes the symptoms resolve themselves and sometimes they don't. When I end up at my doctor's office or urgent care I am instructed to remove my t shirt. I am ok with it because my mom is a RN who has examined me shirtless on more than one occasion. Been there, done that. My urgent care clinic is affiliated with my hospital and they know how to treat me because they have access to my medical records. I was there a few weeks ago. The NP gave me the slow down song and dance lecture. Will I listen.? Probably not but I respect the fact she cares about me.

I never wear an undershirt to any doctor's appointment. I like being barechested when asked to remove my shirt for chest and back auscultation.

I don’t wear undershirts.

Unless I am coming from work, which I have to wear an undershirt, I never wear them for a Dr. visit.

I haven't worn an undershirt since I left the Navy, unless it is extremely cold.

I haven't worn an undershirt since I was about eight, but if I went to the doctors I always had to remove it as they would get me to strip down to my underpants.

When I go to the doctor for any reason, I only wear a short sleeve shirt on my upper body, regardless of the weather or time of year. That way it doesn't impede the BP measurement or auscultation, and if I have to give a blood sample, it's much easier.

Yes, I would prefer the awkward embarrassment of sitting on the table naked, or only in my underwear, or in a gown, but I know it just doesn't happen at my doctor's. So I go with ease and convenience of a t-shirt.

When I was younger and a teen I always insisted on keeping my undershirt on in the exam room until the last possible moment before the doctor would be examining me. I’d say I was cold but it was really because I have a concave chest and had mild gynomasticomia and was super embarrassed to be bare chested anywhere. At camp, shirts vs skins was always a gamble with a terrible destiny; I’d figured out how to get on the shirts side most every time though. 😉

I always wear a sleeveless vest tucked into my underwear to keep my kidneys warm, as mum used to tell me. If I have to remove a poloshirt, for example, I don't get cold in the doctor's surgery. Sometimes during my life, I would be sitting on the examination table in my vest and underwear while the doctor did what he needed to do.

Never!

Men should be stripped to underpants only for their physical exam! Tshirts and socks off!!

@Boshuy69 Dude, just chill out already.

NO WAY

I could never keep it on during the exam as a child. I have worn them to exams if I go after work, as I always wear one under a dress shirt. As an adult, the doctor listens to my heart with the t shirt and dress shirt on. That begs the question, why did I have to remove my shirt(s) as a child?

I didn’t wear undershirts for my younger years but for the more recent ones they were part of my daily outfit. Most recently under a button up shirt that had to be removed leaving me in just the undershirt that I had to scrunch up to allow for easier access
