Full Physical-No Gown

My previous doctor who I saw for four years or so used to do my physicals with me in just my underwear. He did the exams the same way every year for the time period that I saw him. After the initial questions while sitting beside the computer desk in the exam room he would tell me to go ahead and take everything off except my underwear and then hop up on the exam table.

He would then do the whole exam with me on the exam table, having me lay on my back and pull my underwear down for the genital exam and then he would check me for a hernia. At the time I wasn't old enough to require a rectal exam to be done. On two different occasions he had a female student following him observing.

Out of the doctors I have seen over the years this is the only one to examine me like this.

Most of my exams over the years were done this way. If the nurse lays out a gown or offers I just do not bother. I find the whole gown scene not really relevant. In the 1970's and 1980's you were just escorted to the room, nurse took vitals and then said "everything off except your underwear. The Doc will be in shortly". As an adult, even if I took off my shirt that was it. In the last few years, my current doc does have me strip to my underwear and I refuse the gown.

The words we truly want to hear..."strip down and have a seat on the table. I want everything off but underpants"

My family doctor doesn't do physicals any more, just an examination of the presenting problem, so clothes generally stay on! The last physical I had in my underwear was with a Naturopathic Doctor, who apologized that he didn't have any gowns!

The last time I had a full physical (not the ten no-touch minutes of questions doctors prefer now) was during the Covid-19 lockdown. An older male doctor I'd not seen before was filling in for my regular PCP. He told me to strip completely, and there was no gown in sight. But when he saw how surprised I was at being told to take off all my clothes, he told me I could keep my underwear on "for now."

When I was on my back and he'd finished palpating my bare belly, I thought he was going to strip down my briefs. But instead, he just scooped his gloved hand inside them and pulled on and manipulated my cock and balls that way.

The first of many was that memorable grad school admissions exam by dad's doctor.

Everything was off except my briefs.

The male was my firsr FULL. After tthe hernia check i was told to grab my knees.

Most of my exams have been that way. I live in the deep south and wonder if it's a regional thing.

No gown, mostly in underwear only or removing clothes one by one during exam

My old doc of 30 years always had me naked for the whole physical. My new doc didn't for the first ten years then my wife told her I didn't feel like I got much of a physical exam when she didn't have me naked for the exam. Now she does have me in my birthday suit for the exam. It's almost like she needed my wife's permission to see all of me.

In Belgium, it was in underpants or nude!

Here in germany gowns are very rare used, only for sort of surgical procedures so its underwear/underpants here in germany

Pediatric exams were always in underwear but those came off eventually. Never had a robe.

I got used to stripping down to my shorts for school physicals. The school district I was in had a female physician as medical examiner. I first saw her in the sixth grade. It wasn't a comprehensive exam by any means: throat, heart, lungs and blood pressure and just a quick look between my legs.

I had a dermatogist visit once i received a plastic cloth to put over my lap. Fully naked no gown just the cloth. I was in my late 20s at the time.

My urologist does physical exams while I'm only wearing my underwear, and then when it's time to examine my genitals I'm completely naked.

A long time ago, when I was young, doctors often examined male patients nude. From grade 6 through high school my pediatrician had me nude from the start. For my college physical, and then years after, my father took me to his doctor who was a retired Army doctor and I had to strip down nude from the start. Neither of these doctors ever offered a gown. I didn't know any guys who did get a gown back then.

As I'm also from Belgium, here it was in underwear or naked.

And I have had my share of exams having been completely naked.

I was a kid in the 1970s and a teenager in the 1980s and being nude for part or sometimes even all of a physical exam visit was still relatively common. My earliest physicals that I can remember were not nude, but when we started to go to doctors at a different clinic, a large one that was part of a big hospital campus, completely undressing became the norm. In fact I remember the change and how it made my head spin because I was still fairly young but was along for my older brother's physical for something. The nurse had him shirtless and barefoot, wearing just his jeans and underpants, but when the doctor came in, he said quick hellos to everyone and then told my brother, "take off your pants and your underwear for me."

When I was a kid, for my regular check-ups, they always started with me in my tightie-whities. As soon as I got into the exam room I was told to undress to my underwear while my mom sat in the chair.

Once in my underwear, the nurse took vitals - and height & weight (there was a scale in the exam room). I remember that, at least when I was younger, she'd put a glass thermometer in my armpit.

When the doctor came in, at first he'd do the entire exam with me in my underwear. For genital exams, he'd have me laying on the table and just slide his hand under my waistband and manipulate my little erection and my testicles.

At about age 11 all of that changed, and I was told to get completely undressed at the very beginning of the exam, so I was naked for everything, from height & weight to the very end. I remember that they wouldn't tell me to get dressed until after the doctor had finished talking to my mom.

I was 12 when the doctor had me get dressed and go to the waiting room with the nurse while he kept my mom in the exam room to "discuss my development."

After that I started seeing him every 3 months, and then monthly as part of a "boys developmental study" and every exam was naked start-to-finish. That lasted several years, until I entered puberty (rather late).

I haven't had a no-gown exam in years... probably since I stopped seeing my pediatrician. My doctor after that and the NP after him both had me keep my clothes on for the bulk of the exam, and my more recent NPs have had me wear gowns. Personally, I would prefer to skip the gown but I'm not going to press my luck since I almost never wear underwear.

We had an old GP in my small town in Georgia who didn't believe in gowns and had everybody, male or female, any age from birth to death, bare chested for the stethoscope exam. When I was in school (graduated 1970), he did all of the athletic physicals for our junior high and high school. Came to the school on two successive Saturdays, all the boys one Saturday and all of the girls one Saturday. The girls who were his regular patients were used to it. The girls who did sports or cheerleading referred to the required physical as "showing our tits to Dr. Charlie." There's something to be said for that. As an experienced play doc who is really into auscultation, good cardio steth with Eko electronic amplifier, I have never discovered any way to thoroughly auscultate a female heart without exposing the breasts.

... "showing our tits to Dr. Charlie." .

The girls knew what they had to do. It was expected. and they knew they all had to do it. Wonder how they felt about it, especially after labeling it as an event, "showing our tits to Dr. Charlie." Then it makes you wonder how they grew up later. Did they develop a medfet or get some gratification with flashing, or something like that that would have stemmed from, well, "showing our tits to Dr. Charlie."

Imagine if you did a movie on that. Of course using all 18+ girls, but where they all had to do this at a young age, and then show what kinds of fetishes it led them to individually have. You know it would be one of those Cinemax after dark types of movies with lots of topless girls.

lol... We called it "Skinemax" when I was in high school.

I've had a few full physicals with no gown and I didn't mind it at all. If you are given a gown you know the gown will eventually be off anyway so what's the difference? My last four physicals have been done in the nude by the same doc and I fully expect my next physical in December to be in the nude as well and it's always just himself and me in the exam room anyway.

In my undies as a kid for group school physicals

At my dermatologist I’m completely undressed with a drape which for the bulk of the exam it’s not covering much if anything. At my urologist I have my pants and underwear off with a drape, when she starts the genital and rectal exam I’m holding the drape up and it’s covering nothing at my pcp for my yearly physical I’m naked with a drape which really never ever covers much. When she checks my penis and testicles and checks for a hernia. she sits on a stool in front of me and I’m holding the drape up out of the way. She spends a lot of Time checking the lymph nodes in my femoral and pubic areas. She checks my prostate when I’m lying on my side on the table, by this time the drape is in a ball in front of me

I had an annual health check in just my underwear from age 12 to 17

As a very young child I can remember exams in just panties with no gown; I don't recall my pediatrician ever having me remove them. He would slide his hand inside instead. He never had me turn over to check my rectum and I never had a rectal temperature taken- the one time I received a series of suppositories, I was completely nude but at home.

Once I started wearing a bra I always got a gown, and only twice had doctors remove my panties with the gown up (though my breasts remained covered, since the pediatrician examined them first). I've wondered what it would be like to not have a gown at the gynecologist- obviously there's an extra layer of vulnerability and embarrassment, but I also feel strange having my doctor take charge of when I'm covered and uncovered for the breast exam, and by the time she moves down for the pelvic, my breasts have already been on display for a while.

No gown was the routine at my annual check ups through age 13 - the exams were in underwear only. At age 14 I started getting a gown.

Yes, once when I went to a combination urgent care and occupational health office for an employment. After vitals were collected, the nurse instructed me to undress but emphasized to leave my underwear on. She did give me a drape (not a full gown).

However once the doctor came in and looked at the form, which required some simple exercises to check movement, he asked if I had underwear underneath. I responded that I did as instructed, and then he had me set aside the drape and hop onto the floor to begin the exam.

I wish more doctors today followed this process today or just offered a full gown if modesty is a concern instead of the undress as you go. Trying to maneuver around the room half dressed, with pants at the knees or ankles is laughable.

My freshman year in college the physical was conducted fully nude for both sexes, with undressing in front of the old-school, male doctor.
