Full Physical-No Gown

Has anyone ever gotten a full physical wit no gown...just in undergarments (men: underwear...women underwear and bra)??

I got one in college and still remember details.

Think that's standard practice in the UK. All the full exams that I have had were either stripped down to underpants or underpants and socks only. Then underpants lowered for the 'turn your head and cough' bit, which is usually the last thing before being allowed to get dressed again.

Not in years. These days, I rarely even take my shirt off.

Yes. I passed the exam twice without anything on me

Not really in recent times, but would love to to be honest!

Yeah. My old doctor always had me strip to my underwear when I had a physical. When it came time to check down there I just lowered them to my knees.

When I was 8-9 years old I went to my pediatrician's office with my dad.

The nurse took me into the exam room and left my dad outside. She closed the door and had me undress to my underpants.

she weighed me and told me to get up on the cold exam table. The doctor a male doctor came in a back door to the exam room. I was embarrassed and nervous. laying in my small white underpants briefs. No gown. The doctor washed his hand with cold water. approached me and looked over my body. he immediately pulled my underpants down to my ankles. and said that's better. Started by checking my belly with his scope moving it all around especially downward. He then had the nurse totally remove my underpants and socks. He would stop and using his cold hands he would feel my lower belly and check my penis. He would spread my legs and feel my balls. He would do a hernia check while I was laying there. Both sides I was embarrassed. My dad was in the waiting room. Some times the nurse would assist him by holding my legs open. Some times she was not in the room. He would then stick a finger in my butt.

Then wash his hands and start feeling my naked belly. He would put his scope back on and listen to my chest and have me sit up and listen to my back.

I was totally naked with out a gown. he then had me lay back down and feel my balls and penis with the female nurse watching. Probing and squeezing. he finished by squeezing my belly and giving me an eye exam naked standing up facing the closed door, with the nurse in with us. then he would leave to talk to my dad.

the nurse would smile and tell me that's it as she squeezed between my legs and told me to dress while she watched.

At 51 year's old i have had a full examination totally naked having a rectal examination to that was fun to lol

I have had physicals only wearing underwear (always white briefs), with a gown with briefs underneath, and with a gown naked underneath. I find wearing only briefs to give the most satisfying and embarrassing experience. First of all this places the patient in the most vulnerable position relative to the examiner throughout the exam, especially if the patient has absolutely nothing else on, such as socks or jewelry. Also the examiner is able to see the front of the patient's briefs throughout the exam, giving him a little bit of a preview of the outline of the genitals through the fabric of the briefs I also find the genital exam to be more awkward and embarrassing if I am only wearing briefs and the examiner instructs me to stand in front of him and then gives an instruction for me to lower the briefs. Also there is a certain drama in having the briefs go down and the genitals are exposed for my total embarrassment. Having a gown on with briefs underneath is almost as good. The instructions are good since the doctor has to instruct to lower the briefs and lift the gown out of the way. The down side to this is that the patient is more covered with more privacy during the nongenital parts of the exam. The least expecting to me is to be examined with a gown on and nothing underneath. It makes exposure of the genitals too easy. A simile lifting of the gown lacks the drama of dropping the briefs.

I have had the opposite reaction to wearing an exam gown without underwear than wearing only briefs during a physical. I feel more vulnerable with the exam gown only. First is the complete stripping to put the gown on and rushing to get back on exam table with that awkward thin and short gown on. Then there is the feeling of being bare butt on that paper with the exam gown not completely closed in the back. There is also the exposure or near exposure of the genitals from wearing a short exam gown and knowing that the doctor sitting in a chair and looking slightly upward at a patient sitting on an exam table can probably see up the gown.

I agree that a male patient in briefs has more exposed skin but overall there is something less weird about wearing something in an exam room that many guys wear everyday. The most obvious concern for me about that were those times when I got a rectal exam and the doctor had me pull my shorts up and sit back on the exam table afterward. Sometimes I had a wet spot on the crotch of my briefs where the prostate exam forced some fluid out. As a much younger guy, I was worried about showing an erection but that was before the rectals caused the other thing.

Yes, in Hollans we don wear gowns at all during the examination. Mostly you are only wearing your underwear and the doc removes it for the examination of the genitials.

I cannot remember ever having a naked exam nor for that matter have i had an exam with a gown on either. It looks like all the doctors I've seen keep things in the middle, follow the golden mean I suppose - exams have always been in underpants/briefs ... the same as swimming suits essentially but just made of a different cloth ...

Several with the same doctor as a boy--no gown, just briefs.

Not since junior high, and that was early 80's.

Have not had a physical with a gown in a long time. Mostly for company physicals it was just down to underwear and pull them down for hernia and rectal exam.

When I was a young teen my pediatrician always had his early teen patients strip nude for the entire exam.

The nurse would always ask me to undress all the way. Sometimes after I was weighed she would let me put on my under pants while waiting for him to enter. No gown of course. When the doctor was running late. I would have to be nude. sitting on the table waiting. A couple of times I did wear my undies and socks whike waiting, and Dr D came in told me to lay down flat. washed his hands, in cold water, approached me on the table and attempted to take my sock completely off and patted by belly and forcefully pulled my underpants down to my ankles. He then had the nurse remove them while he started the exam at my head and going downward. He always concentrated on examining my belly and private area the longest. It was very embarrassing. and uncomfortable. no gown and always nude with the female nurse watching and assisting. Is that normal ?

I can remember me only one time totally nude: I was young (5 years?). My mother, my brother and I were ill (influenza) and we were in bed. The doctor came at home and ask us to remove the pajamas (not my mother, of course). He made a comment about my circumcised penis (it was good to remove the foreskin).

I had all other examinations with briefs or trousers, but no gown.

The only exception was at hospital for an emergency. I got a gown and I could keep my boxer briefs.

As a minor, I don't remember ever having a gown.

I always got my physical complete naked, with no gown.

It is standard this way in germany

I remember my pediatrician wanted me to be in the nude and ready every time I visited Some times when I was waiting in the cold exam room I would wear my white underwear briefs and socks. Once he entered either through the back or exam room door he expected me to be totally nude. When he entered and I was not nude, he reminded the nurses to his wishes. He always told me to lay down flat, and he always removed my underpants and socks with the female nurse watching.

Only one time there was a different nurse (young and pretty) that before he arrived stayed in the exam room with me and 5 minutes before he arrived she removed my under pants and sock while I was laying on the table. She was spreading my legs and before he arrived, she placed her hand between my open legs and smiled. Dr. D. walked in just after that, and thanked her for having me nude and ready. I was nervous and embarrassed. The nurse stayed in the room to watch. She placed her hands on my legs at the bottom of the table, as he probed my belly and penis and balls. She asked if she can do anything else for him. It was embarrassing seeing her looking at my lower area.

Once the exam was over, the doctor went out side, the cute nurse after the door closed started getting my clothes together. She approached the exam table had me sit up and swing my legs over the side. Still nude she felt my balls and penis and smiled. I got down to dress and she stopped me to get up on the scale turn out ward and weighed me. She patted my back side and told me to get dressed as she watched.

Sure, several.

The first time I remember having to get undressed to my briefs was when I was about 11 and my mom was worried about my growth. She took me to a pediatrician in a small city near our small town, and the nurse made me get undressed down to my white briefs right at the start.

Most of my other exams as a kid were done with me shirtless ,and the trousers came down only briefly.

The next time I recall having a physical in just my undies was when I was 24 and returning to grad school. I remember the doc being pretty curt, since I wasn't going to be a patient of his. I was nervous and turned on at the same time because the physical form had a "rectal" entry on it. I remember the doc filling out the form in front of me after my physical appeared to be done, pausing at the rectal line, and just checking it off as "normal." I was relieved and disappointed at the same time.

I think I had another physical in my briefs in my late 20s.

When I started going to the doctor in my mid-30s after my father got diagnosed with prostate cancer, my doctors started using a gown, for good or for bad. I was told to undress, "including your underwear," slip into the gown, opening in the back, and have a seat. If it was my first exam with that doc, I'd meet him while dressed first and he'd tell me to get undressed and put on the gown, and leave the room while I did so.

But there was one memorable exam (which I've posted about elsewhere) in which the doc came in while I was fully dressed, and then directed me to get undressed. I was expecting him to offer me a gown and then leave the room, but he stayed.

The doctor watched me very closely as I removed my shirt, shoes, socks, and jeans.

I was wearing black boxer briefs. I remember pausing and thinking about whether I should ask, "These too?" If this exam had happened today, I would've just taken them off and waited for the doctor to try to stop me, the thought being that I had been directed to remove my underwear in previous physicals, so why not this one.

But, I just took a seat on the end of the exam table in just my black boxer-briefs. I do remember the doctor giving me a pretty thorough genitalia exam with my boxers at my knees and me lying down. That was hot, because my previous such exams had been pretty cursory and with me standing.

I have had a few exams where the doctor/nurse had me strip down to my undershorts without any other covering.

I have had a lot more physical exams in my briefs only than in one of those backless gowns. I remember the first exam in which a nurse told me to take everything off including my underwear and put on the gown that she took out of drawer under the exam table. I was really nervous to be completely nude and trying to get that gown on right. I had undressed quickly and thrown my clothes on a chair so naturally my underwear was on the top of the pile. Then came a long wait before the doctor came in. While I was waiting, I kept trying to tie the gown up in the back but finally realized that there were only two ties anyway. One was at the back of my neck and the other was about a foot below that. So no matter what I did, my butt was hanging out the back.

Exams in underwear only were the standard when I was a kid so I didn't have any expectation about modesty. Then as an adult, my exams have been a mix of gowns and underwear only but a lot more wearing underwear and no gown. I don't have a preference. Either way, the doctor sees it all by the end.

Almost all of my physicals have been without a gown. Until recently my doctors have been males. I'm told to undress down to my boxers. The doctor comes in and does his thing. At the end, he tells me to drop my shorts for the DRE, hernia and testicular check. When I went to see a surgeon regarding my hernia, he just had me lower my shorts to my knees. Did not have to remove them.

Never not been given a gown, but sometimes I have elected to not bother with it and just go in my underwear. Nobody seemed to mind 😃

Always jus stripped down to underwear for me.

I'm down to boxers at my PCP. I have been given gowns at other offices.

I had a lor of examinations with just my underwear expecially for back exam

I have always worn a gown

Most of my physicals consisted of wearing underwear...tighty-whiteys to boxers to my current choice of boxer-briefs. Two exams were in gowns, a few were fully clothed: I thought I had pulled a groin muscle, turned out to be an inguinal hernia, so several exams while fully clothed with pants and underwear down to knees and ankles focusing on genital area before and after hernia surgery. I would welcome more exams in gown or fully nude.
