Your mother and your physical exam

If you are 18 or older, does your mother still go into the exam room with you when you get a physical exam?

If she doesn't, would you like her to?

For me 18 yrs old was the last time she was in the exam room with me. She was in the exam room with my for years and years and watched all my exams and since the exam room was small, she saw everything.

The doctor would thoroughly exam my genitals and I would get an erection and I have a very sensitive penis so I would ejaculate most of the times as well. As I got older, my ejaculation got stronger and my sperm output was a lot more so when I did ejaculate, my cum would spurt out and large streams of sperm would fly over my face, onto my chest and abdomen and finish with oozing out of my penis. It was a mess!

I mom came to every exam until I turned 18. Her being there added a certain level of embarrassment to the exam that I just LOVED! I have actually asked her to attend my next exam... And she agreed!!!! The two exams I had without her just we're not the same. I'm so happy she will be returning

My mother never came with me into the doctors surgery after the age of twelve. Thinking back in hindsight, I would have loved the embarrassment of her coming in after that until my late teens and seeing me completely naked especially the times that I got an erection or cum came out of my penis. At home she saw me stripped down to my boxers loads of times, but never saw my penis after puberty.

The last time my mother was in the exam room with me would have been before I was the age of 10 (when I experienced my first hernia exam). She has never witnessed me receiving a genital or hernia exam that I can remember. Thank goodness!!! ... I would have been mortified!

My mother accompanied me to my exams when I was past 18. She was afraid that was the only way she could get me to go to the doctor. At least that was her rationale for being in the exam room undressed to my briefs and lowered for the genital exam. As @Littletwink posted earlier

Got to admit I felt that way about my mother being there with me as well. When the doctor asked certain embarrassing questions she didn't hesitate and answered him. LOL She knew about my masturbation habits as well as I did. And always asked him about my sexual development.

No, she attended all of my physicals at the pediatrician through age sixteen when my late blooming finally got to Tanner Stage 4, but we switched to a GP when I was seventeen with me going into the exam room alone. She still scheduled those exams for me, with my younger brother being examined at the same time, so rather than purposely avoiding my exam, she instead was down the hall in his exam to monitor his development. Honestly, the main part I didn't like about the pediatrician was being babied the whole time -- having to walk down the hall for height and weight in nothing but tighty whities, having the doctor talk to my mom instead of to me, and even once when I was thirteen having to lie completely naked on the exam table like a baby.

But I'd not have minded if she kept coming to my exams with the GP. He had the scale in the room, and I was not shy about my mom seeing me naked, nor was I shy about her knowing about my sexual activity (which only meant masturbation by myself from just before I turned 16 until the summer between undergrad and grad school at 21). Even when I came out to her as gay at 21, the most I had done with another guy was mutual masturbation. And when I did finally have anal sex for the first time at 23, my boyfriend at the time, who was 22, had bipolar disorder, so his mom still was very involved in all of his medical stuff including psychiatric stuff like his meds as well as his physical exams. At least in my little circle of the world, it wouldn't have seemed at all weird to me for my mom to have been in my physical exams right up until I moved a couple time zones away after grad school at 24.

No not for a while, since I was 16, and at 17 it was the first time without her which feels longer than it actually is. Eventually she just stopped accompanying me to the exams altogether, because whenever I had one the clinic was in close proximity to my school so it's like a 1 minute walk there. Having privacy with the female doctors helped me realize my interest in medfet.

But I will say, the first time she didn't go in the room with me sucked. The way I felt at the time definitely affected my focus on the doctor's advice. Then a mix-up at the pharmacy led to me not taking the antibiotics I should have been taking for a week. Would not have happened if I could focus correctly and I barely got well enough to consistently attend school by the end of that month. So my advice is have someone with you if you think not being able to follow what the doctor saying will be a huge problem. Though, I'm sure this is common knowledge.

For me, the last time my mom came with me into the exam room during a physical was at the age of 12. After that I always went alone and since the physicals took place in a room in my school building, she also did not any longer accompany me to the apointment itself.

Being naked in front of the doctor with my mom in the background of the exam room did make it more embarassing I would say, but being alone with the doctor from the age of 13 onward made me more aware that I a actually liked to show my body to him and was exited to get naked during the exam.

I was 15 the last time my mother came in with me for a regular check up.

Probably 11. Last time I ever went for a while.

No, my mom stopped going into the exam room with me at the pediatrician when I was 13-14 years old.

My mom came with me until I was 18. I was ok with it. I thought that was normal. Looking back on it now, she was probably in the room with me a tad too long. It definitely made the exam more awkward and embarrassing.

No parent accompanied into the exam and remained once I turned 13. It happened that dad would take me and he might remain when I was told to strip to my briefs. Once the nurse or doc entered, he would leave and wait just outside the exam room in the hallway. I always felt that he could hear everything.

The last time my mother was in the exam room with me would have been before I was the age of 10 (when I experienced my first hernia exam). She has never witnessed me receiving a genital or hernia exam that I can remember. Thank goodness!!! ... I would have been mortified!

I had the same experience. My mother was never in the exam from from age 11 onward. The doctor I saw during the years she was still in the room did not have me undress and would just reach inside my briefs and feel the penis and testes. He stood over me in such a way that my mother could not have seen what he was doing. When I was 11, I had to change pediatricians due to the death of the previous doctor. My mother went with me for my exams at ages 11 and 12, but this pediatrician’s office had parent waiting areas that were outside the exam room. This alcove was inside the door from the hallway but was not inside the exam room itself. There was no door, so she could have heard anything that was going on but there was no line of sight. The genital exams he did at ages 11 and 12 involved no spoken words by the doctor so my mother would not have known that he was pulling down my briefs for a look and feel of my penis and testes. I was so glad nothing was said to let her know what I had gone through. Starting at 13, I was alone in the exam room and the doctor started giving verbal instructions for dropping my briefs and turning and coughing for the hernia exam.

My pediatrician’s office required a parent, or someone over 21, chaperone the patient throughout high school. My dad went with me most of the time, but when he was unavailable, my mom had to come. I felt embarrassed when my underpants had to come off, with my mom in the room, but that was the policy.

My parents stopped coming with me to my exams when I was 10. It was uncomfortable for me being examined without clothing and having them in the same examination room.

I had my mom come to everyone of my doctor visit until I turned 18. Do you think that is wierd?message me and let me know.

Not weird, just policy. Under 18 you are consider a minor and the doctor requires that you have a chaperone.

The last time my Mom witnessed one Examination was when I was 10 yo, she took me to the Hospital (because of sore throat and cough that caused a little of pain in my back) and the Female Pediatrician who was in charge that day, made me strip to my Briefs and examined me like that in front of a bunch of Mothers accompanied by their Children waiting in line to be examined too. I hated her for doing that and although I protested I had to do it anyways. Fortunately the Undies never came off (I would have refused if she even suggested that, besides my Mom had never seen me naked again after I turned 7 yo and started bathing by myself)

...Ages seventeen until nineteen, which was the last time visiting the same pediatrician for nineteen consecutive years, I drove my own vehicle there alone for those appointments...

That's very nice @Plumber70 !! I wish I have had a Pediatrician that knew me intimately that well (as yours knew you) from being a Baby Born until I became a young Boy, witnessing my Development and Body Changes throughout the years. But all of my Male Pediatrician were different persons as the years passed by, because I visited them only when I was ill (like mostly everyone here does) and I switched to a General Practitioner when I turned 13.

My mother stopped going in with me when I started budding and they gave me a gown. I think a lot of doctors do that. They believe that if the girl is having sex or thinking about it or has questions they are more likely to open up without a mother in the room.

No, I wouldn't want my mom in there.

I did have a girlfriend whose mother always went with her. She had even been in the service and her mother still went. She didn't want me to go but wanted her mother. It sort of made me feel as if she was hiding something. Our relationship didn't last long.

My mom is super protective of me and she still comes with me to my exams and any medical appointments

She doesn't anymore but if she offered/asked I probably wouldn't say no. I'd probably enjoy the added embarrassment and to be honest having a second person with actual knowledge of my history beyond notes on a chart would probably be a useful.

A funny thought not necisarily related to this exact topic….

I remember my first physical as an adult. I was 19 or 20. Mom scheduled it with the family doctor. I was home from college. She came with me but didn’t go into the exam room.

Why did she come with me?

Because she had scheduled her physical the same day also. She said we could get breakfast later and she may even treat me to a mimosa. I am not one to turn down free booze.

Mom got called back first. I read some month old copy of People magazine trying to distract myself from the impending examination. After about 20 minutes it was my turn to go back.

Much like normal I peed in a cup, got weighed then had to undress. The doctor was nice enough to not mention anything about the mother-daughter day we were having.

Then toward the end the doctor checked my more intimate parts. And then I realized that she had probably also touched my Mother in a similar way 20 minutes before that. It made me cringe. And I wanted to puke.

To make matters worse we went out for brunch afterwords. After we were seated, my mother excused herself to the restroom because “the doctor used too much lube”. What in the fuck. This was not the bonding I signed up for. There is not enough champagne in this drink.

One thing lead to another. Champagne turned in to margaritas… And that’s the story of the first time my parents saw me drunk.

Thanks for being my therapist zity.

@Amanda_O “Too much information” 😃

The last time my mom came with me I was 12 years old. I was embarrassed because I was starting puberty. I've had the same doctor since I was 7, so my parents trusted him and I trusted him, so I was able to go in alone.

As far as I remember she only came into the exam room in elementary school age. After 5th grade I walked in the room by myself unless you count the time my brother brought me in.
