Teenage Physical Exam

My teenage physical exams were pretty the same as before becoming a teenager, and stayed that way through high school. Sat in the waiting room with my dad, who was required to be in the room. Until my name was called, you could always hear kids crying and screaming, which would just make me more tense. When finally called, the nurse took me to a room, and told me to undress down to my underwear. While I did this she left the room. I never understood why. When she came back I was sitting on the table in my underwear and bare feet. She had me get on the scale and then had me turn around to get my height.

Back to the table. She took my blood pressure, and right after she told me to lie down on my tummy. She then got the thermometer out of the glass holder. She shook it down and put more than a generous amount of Vaseline on it. She would say something like, this needs to go in your rectum, sweetheart. As if I didn’t already know. I felt my underpants being lowered and the thermometer being inserted. It always felt cold going in. I lied on the table approximately 5 minutes, but it seemed like an hour, with the nurse holding the thermometer in place, and occasionally patting my backside. The door was usually partially or completely open, and any parent or patient had a great view of me. To be fair, I was the viewer on many occasions as well.

She then removed it and used a tissue to wipe off all the Vaseline. She read it and recorded it in my chart. Some nurses would have my dad stand next to me while my temperature was being taken. After that I was told to remove my undershirt and wait for the doctor, which could sometimes be 10 minutes. When the doctor came in, he exchanged pleasantries with my dad, and immediately used his stethoscope. Very thoroughly on my chest and belly, and then on my back, where I would have to take deep breaths. I would then lie on my back and he would feel around my bladder and put the stethoscope near my genitals. I found out years later that there are sounds that come from there, so I guess he knew what he was doing.

After that, he tested my reflexes, checked my feet and toes, and then my spine. I was then told to take off my underpants, and the rest of the exam was done with me naked. He spent time examining my genitals and would sometimes point things out to my dad, which just embarrassed me further. I would then have to turn around, put my hands on my knees and spread my feet, and he would feel around my rectum.

If there were any vaccinations I would be told that I could put my underwear back on, as they were usually given in the arm. If I needed penicillin, I would told not to get dressed and would have to wait for the nurse still naked. She would have me lie face down again and the needle would be given in my rear. She always had my dad hold me in place so I wouldn’t move around.

After that, I would get dressed and we would meet in one of the small offices.

My best physical exams of my life were in my teens and because they had an effect on me, I always wondered about the ones my friends had, both boys and girls. I had a very small number of friends I could swap stories with.

@fontana , it’s very interesting account.

You mentioned the same routine was used through high school. I can imagine how a boy at say 14 or 1% or 16 would feel during such an exam. Especially rectal temperature procedure or genital exam. Especially if you say sometimes the door was not shut completely and other kids and their parents could see what was going on inside the exam room. Horrible embarrassment.

@Kulemh The only other thing I can add was that girls were treated the same way. There was no double standard there. Their doors were open too and they were also subjected to embarrassing exams. Seeing a girl getting her temperature taken or even sitting on a table with bare breasts was very common.

From my experiences, and from talking to friends, there can be a complete range of what girls go through, from not needing to undress at all and having the entire exam done over clothing, to getting fully undressed for the physical.

In my case, my whole family went to the same Family Medicine doctor. I started seeing him when I was 7 years old, and he continued to see me as a teen. My teen exams were not really that much different from when I was younger, except that when I turned 14, I started to get an exam gown to wear during my physical exams. Before that I was undressed to my underwear for the exam.

Even as a little girl, my undies came off at the end. It was no different when I was a teen.

It’s precisely because of the early exposure to sexual content on the internet that they’re like that. They have no concept of non-sexualized nudity. The association of nude = sex is formed early on ergo if the doctor wants me to be nude then it must be because the doctor is a secret perv.

Mine changed I guess in my teens but most of it I think was from moving and getting a new dr. I had my first genital in front of my mom with my old dr. Moved and I get a female pediatrician and physicals were done until I was almost 19, underwear only until the end when they came off for the genital exam. The exam ended with myself completely nude. These exams are the foundation for my fetish.

Teenage examinations are something I sadly pretty much missed out on as most of my examinations were as a younger pre pubescent boy and as an older youth, I play scenarios out in my mind for how those missing examinations may have been

I’m of an age where the Internet didn’t exist for many years of my life.

So, ‘fact checking’, was almost impossible.

You relied on peer group to learn what happened to them at medical examinations.

Most school examinations followed a similar pattern, enev if carried out by different doctors.

Always ending up naked for a visual check of my body followed by the lifting of my testicles.

In my early employment years, similar examinations took place. A requirement for insurance and pensions.

As far as my local doctor was concerned he sometimes had me ending up naked.

I never considered the doctors to be ‘pervs’, but did sometimes wonder whether there was an element of voyeurism.

Over the years medical examinations in general have changed, and here in the UK school medical examinations have ceased.

Mine were done by a very kind, competent pediatrician from infancy until I was 18. Very nice man.

But the exams were extremely embarrassing. I'm convinced those experiences formed a significant portion of my sexual life as it is today.

I am 20 so these exams are fresh in my mind. I enjoyed them! They started to be more like adult exams when I was maybe 15 or 16. That's when the underwear would either come down or off and I was checked down there. My shirt was usually off too, so I was essentially naked for a few moments.

My physical exams were about the same from elementary school through HS. Nurse calls you back to the rooms, does the vitals; BP, height, weight and sometimes temp. If they were high or seemed too differently she would have the doctor re-take. Sometimes I would go into the exam room and have the vitals checked or she would do these in the hallway. I think it depended on the room availability.

After this, she would say" Ok Bobby, everything off but your underwear and Doc Jim will be in here shortly."

The doc would have me give the urine sample after he came into the room as I think it gave him time to review the chart and or get shots ready?

The toilet had a small door with a pass-thu shelf which you left the urine sample. I would be in my underwear heading to the toilet, but it was just across the hall.

Coming back into the room I would go back to the exam table. Would start with the eyes, ear, nose and throat. Proceed with the skin check and breathing, heart rate etc. Would lye down and check again with pulses this time.

After this, it was exercises along with eye chart and "duck walk".

The last was the phrase: Ok Bobby, lose the shorts and place your feet either side of the step. Genital and hernia checks. Turn around and spread your cheeks. DRE was done from HS on.

Last was shots if needed and they were done in the ass cheeks.

My teenage physical exams were pretty the same as before becoming a teenager, and stayed that way through high school. Sat in the waiting room with my dad, who was required to be in the room.

Ditto, except that it was my mom. The pediatrician treated me the same basically from 6 to 16. Nothing but undies as soon as the nurse brought us into the exam room, including the walk down the hall to the scale for height and weight. The doctor always pulled down my undies himself, not asking permission and not asking me to lower them on my own.

That being treated like a really little kid until I was old enough to drive was something I resented at the time but which I now remember fondly.

I had the same pediatrician from age 11 until the end of high school, almost age 18. My exams were basically the same all those years and they were very thorough. A good old fashioned doctor who had me naked the entire time. And he allowed mom to sit in on my physicals through that last high school physical. I did look forward to them.
