Doctor asking permission for genital exam

For all the women that have their genitals checked by their regular doctor - does the doctor ask your permission to do that portion of the exam prior to checking that area? Do they do the same for exams of other intimate areas (breast/rectal).

If so how do they phrase it?

As strange as it might sound, my Dr. (surgeon) who performed my GRS (creation of vagina), she asked me each time to see my genitals before preceding. It was just something like "is it okay if we have a look now", or "can you show me..."

My endocrinologist didn't asked, he just carefully lifted my panty to look at the healing process, this was approx.. 6 months after the surgery, while I was on his examination table for regular half-year check ups. (he has been monitoring and performing my hormonal transition since the beginning in 2015, so he knows me rather well)

She only asks to remove my underwear "can I have a look down here?" I don't think I've ever been asked permission to open my lips, i'll just suddenly feel them folded back. When inserting anything inside my vagina I get told rather than asked then feel it stretch as the insertion happens. I was asked once if my hood could be lifted to check my clitoris, usually as above i'll just feel it happen.

@Annie204 You have me laughing at a doctor actually asking if he could have a look under the hood (smile)

Generally the dr doesnt ask permission just say I'm sorry this may be a bit cold and scoot down a bit further and relax
