Medical Procedures

In Europe are people fully nude when having procedures like a colonoscopy or barium enema?

For my experience, usually get a gown but could be some exceptions

I like being nude during exam. It is a big turn on,. But i also like a sexy gown. It is also a pleasure thing to ask to pul down shorts and stuff in front of the dr

Ive always worn a gown

My Russian friend said he was always examined nude in groups for school and army physicals, with lots of female doctors and clerks doing and recording the exams.

The last time I was examined was by a urologist and I was dressed from the waist up

Here in Italy fro these procedures the patient is naked from the waist down

I just met a nurse from Israel and she said that young men must join the army and are examined naked in groups for their entrance physicals, often with female doctors doing the exams and female nurses assisting. She said the girls too are required to be in the army but they wear gowns and are seen individually for their exams.

That is very cool. I have to admit, the idea of getting a army physical from an Israeli army doctor or nurse is a nice thought...

My pre military exam was done in a group with just shorts, shoes and socks until the groin check and visual butt check. Then it was pants down. 30-50 naked guys. Only male docs at that time.

Don't really know i think with a gown but if u would prefer nude u could be neude

For physicals i've never had a gown - its always at least with shirt off if not in boxers only! i'd hate a gown!

For my colonoscopy it was gown, shorts and slippers.

Let keep it natural why to put gown and other stuff on while you can be naked and enjoy it .

I hate having to walk down to surgery in a bad fitting gown as im a big bloke exposing everything knowing they will strip it off as soon as your given the general anesthetic 😶 for exams never been told to put on gown just remove certain items off clothing

I had many exams where i had to be completely nude. Gowns are not common everywhere.

I live in Europe and I have never heard that a patient would be completely nude in colonoscopy in my country. It's more like a standard to wear gown during such.

Regular physical exams are, however, always performed without a gown.

I've known a few people who have had these procedures. They have all had the tests done in just about as discreet a way as possible, given the circumstances - and quite rightly, too.

In Paris my wife was always examined nude by her doctor who didn't offer a gown but allowed her to disrobe in a changing room. My secretary, with another French doctor, had to disrobe in front of him and she had to have an interpreter in the room with her, sometimes a male, depending on who was available. This is a girl who was too shy to go topless at the beach leading her French friends to think there was something wrong with her breasts.

I agree with Macca. Play is one thing, but to have a real colonoscopy is not fun.

I found it extremely embarassing to have to go to your doctor whilst genuinely ill to discuss one's bowel movements, and to have to undergo a colonoscopy.

When I had mine I was nervous about the procedure, what might be found, and also what what might not be found and thus leave me still ill with no answer. I wouldn't have enjoyed being naked at all, and I was glad for the discretion of the nurses who assisted.

Well said, tjc, and karma to you.

I hope your diagnosis was satisfactory. I know how worrying such times are; having such tests is bad enough, they don't have to be made worse for want of a little thought on the part of other people.
