No pants at the pediatrician

As a child, my pediatric examination ended (or in many cases also started) with my pants removed. What is your experience? Did you keep pants on during all the exam? Or you had to remove them at a certain point of the examination? Or you had to pull them down (to the knees or the ankles)? Or did you have, like me, the experience to be pantless from the beginning of the exam?

When I went to the doctor when I was ill they frequently wanted to do a fuller exam on me and they would ask my parents to strip me down to my underwear so the exam would take place with me only wearing my briefs, or boxers when I was older, but I never had to take them off. It was only when I had a physical at school that I had to take off my undies for the genital exam.

Growing up was always examined nude from the start. Today there is more regard for modesty. Gowns and drapes seem to be the norm.

I have posted at great length in other threads about this, so....a very brief summary for this particular post. The procedure was always the same for schoolboy medicals here in the UK during the 1950s / 1960s. Boys had to strip down to their vest / underpants (or just underpants if you were not wearing a vest to school that day).

You remained in your underwear for the routine checks (scalp, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, throat, BP, reflexes etc). Tben you had to remove your vest for chest/back ausculcation & abdominal palpation. Finally, you had to take off your underpants and the doctor would then perform anal / genital examinations and observations.

If we went for a physical we were always undressed down to our underpants from the start. They came down, but not off when required for the genital and visual anal parts of the exam. If were there for a sick visit we only removed what was necessary for that exam.

Like the previous poster, if I was there for a complete physical exam, I would always be in just underwear without pants or a shirt. The clothing was usually off before the doctor entered the room so really he never would see me fully dressed. Not sure what the experience would be like for kids today.

No, I was never pantsless at the pediatrician. But I did have my pants pulled down a lot. The worst was when I was in about sixth grade. He was giving me the hernia check and my mother stayed in the room. I remember standing there for what seemed like forever (it was probably a few minutes), with my pants and underpants pulled down to my ankles. The nurse was also in there. The thing I remember most is my mother locking her eyes right on my dick. It's something that affected me forever, I think. In my play exams, which I haven't had for a long time, the doctor strips me to a tee-shirt and I go through the exam and treatments with no pants on. Barefoot, bare-assed, bottomless.

Your memory of your mother "locking her eyes on my dick" is great. I was always pantsless at the pediatrician from the beginning (only underpants allowed). Mom always there and looking. While I was lying on the exam table and it was time for the penis, testicles, and pubic hair check the doc would strip me naked and mom would not only lock her eyes on my boy parts, her eyes would light up, and when the doc would handle my testicles and palpate my penis she would always have a profoundly satisfied smile on her face. I remember her smile was even broader during my physical at age 13 as I could see her especially staring at my newly sprouted pubic hair, and especially when my penis got erect during the exam.

From the youngest age I can remember, up until age 11, I was not undressed for physical examinations. My pediatrician was an elderly man who examined around my clothes. He would put the stethoscope under my shirt and would put his hand down my pants and underpants to feel my genitals. He passed away before I had my annual examination at age 11 and I changed doctors to the other pediatrician in the same office. My mother took me to his more suburban office on a Saturday morning in the late summer or early fall. I was called back to the exam room which had a small anteroom, where my mother waited, and the doctor and I went into the exam room. There was no door between the parent’s alcove and the exam room, but there was not a direct sight line between the exam table and the anteroom. I sensed that things would be different from my prior exams when the doctor told me to “strip down to your underwear.” It was intimidating being in my white briefs in the presence of a clothed doctor but the exam started in a fairly unexciting enough manner progressing from blood pressure, vision, spine,eyes, ears, throat, heart and lungs, and reflexes. Then came “lie back flat on your back” after which he auscultated and palpated the abdomen. Then, with no warning, he pulled down the front of my briefs, and my penis and scrotum were fully exposed. Fortunately, my mother could not see and he said nothing to let her know what was taking place. I had begun developing in that my penis had reached near adult dimension and my scrotum had enlarged and was hanging lower but no pubic hair had begun to grow. I remember the sick feeling in my stomach when the genitalia came into full view, which is the same sensation I feel to this day when my genitals are exposed for examination. From that day until I had my college physical at age 18, my pediatrician had me in my briefs until it was time for the genital exam. The only difference was that at age 13, he started having me stand and pull down the briefs myself. It never got easier. I masturbated to completion for the first time ever after the exam at age 11 and have masturbated after every exam I have had since then always thinking about the embarrassment I have just endured.

As a child, once the nurse was done take no care of then preliminaries, I was instructed to undress down to my underwear. This was my experience all the way through my college physical.

When I went to the pediatrician I always undressed to just my underpants before the exam started.

Up to age 12 my exams started with my underpants off. I switched doctors at 12, and he waited until the genital exam and then he slid them off.

After being weighed and led into the exam room, I would be instructed to “hop up on this table” by the attending nurse.” There she would unfasten my pant’s snap and zipper. I would then be instructed to “roll over onto your tummy.” That was usually followed by a “let’s get a temp on you.” She would then work my pants and briefs down to my knees. Then would come the permeating smell of alcohol and the snapping of her wrist as she shook down the mercury. After the deed was done, I was wiped and helped to a sitting position. She would then instruct me to “remain bottomless until the doctor gets a chance to examine you.” Those instructions were mostly directed to my mother who was also sitting in the room. I recall sitting on that crinkling paper starring down at my underwear between my knees for what always seemed like an eternity. I clearly remember being exposed from the waist down for most of my time spent at all doctor office visits, regardless of the reason. I believe it was just part of being a kid in the 60’s.

Every physical started out the with the nurse instructing me to “strip, everything off but your underwear”. My pediatrician varied how he conducted the physicals in relationship to your age.

Until I was 12ish, I mostly remained in my “tighty whites” the entire time. Those times he would just slide his hands in my underwear to feel my penis and scrotum. When standing he’d pulling down my underwear himself and let them drop to the floor around my ankles for the genital and hernia exam portion.

Probably around 13 years old, I kept my underwear on until he instructed me to lay back. Usually, he say something like “ok, lift up your butt” then he’d take off my underwear completely. A very few times he would just pull my underwear down below my knees . Occasionally, he’d ask me remove my underwear at the very beginning of the physical. All the exams ended with me standing naked in front of him while he was in his chair for the genital and hernia portion.

I had a pediatrician for my exams until I was about 12 then we switched to a doctor who was more for adolescents. My pedi doc was an older man, very nice manner, and tended to apologize when giving me a shot. His exams were very basic but always included a rectal temp that he took at the start with my briefs down to my knees then raised back up when done. He would check my genitals but ever so briefly.

The adolescent doc was Mr. Thorough and had me remove my briefs once he was done with the basics and I remained naked. He examined my penis, testicles, and felt behind my sack while I would lay back and take a RT with me lying on my side. Often that would make my penis react to some degree so that when standing for hernia exam, I would have a semi or become erect as he felt me. At 17 and then 18, he did a DRE for which shocked me. Until then, it had only been a thermometer or the tip of a finger to lube me. Now, I had a finger fully inserted in my most private of places. It made me throb and shake. I think a doctor who might have explained things would have been better. He just spread me, took aim and inserted.

Until I was 13 I was completely nude, after I could keep my underwear until the genital exam

All of my exams started with no pants, and ended completely naked!

During physicals at the pediatrician always down to my underwear

I usually was shown to the exam room by the nurse who would (while standing in the hall Berwyn all the exam rooms and just off the waiting room) tell me to go into the bathroom and leave a urine sample on the counter then go back to the exam room she just showed me to and take off all my clothes except my underwear.

All my exams started by undressing to my undies right from the start. Then at some later part of the exam the doctor would pull down my undies temporarily to my knies or ankles while I was standing and again when laying on my back on the exam table. In a few cases the doctor asked me to step out of my undies and I stayed completely naked during the remainder of the exam.

Always in my underwear. I just figured he was a simpler way for the doctor to see my body. Then came underwear removal. Just part of life to me either way.

Sick visits depended on what was wrong. For a physical, I would by down to my underwear at the beginning. Those would stay on until it was time for everything down below to get checked. At that time, those were either down to my ankles, or came off entirely until the end of the exam.

My exams are always nude from Start.

At my pediatrician, for a sick visit, the nurse would always have me remove my shirt and shoes before she took my weight and height. She would then have me sit on the table to take my pulse and oral temperature. The doctor would come in and eventually start the exam with HEENT, lungs, heart, reflexes, then have me lie down for the abdominal exam. As she worked her way lower she would unbuckle my belt then unfasten and unzip my pants herself. She would stick her hand(s) just barely inside my tighty whities, sometimes lifting up the waistband slightly for better access, and feel around my lower abdomen and upper groin. She never looked at or touched my genitals that I remember. She did this every visit, no matter what I was there for.

The one and only time I went there for a sports physical for school, the nurse had me remove my shoes only for height and weight then had me sit on a chair to take my pulse and temperature. Afterwards she instructed me to get undressed, have a seat, and wait for the doctor. After she left, I remember standing up and was half way through pulling off my shirt when suddenly she opened the door, stuck her head in the room, and told me I could leave my underwear on. For whatever reason I remember being extremely embarrassed by that. Partially because she "caught" me in the middle of undressing, and partially because she told me to undress to my underwear. It was the first time anyone instructed me to do that and for some reason I found that awkward.

When the doctor came in the exam room, I was sitting in my underwear on the plastic chair because that's where the nurse had left me (always the obedient child I was). She told me to have a seat up on the table. I remember literally standing and running across the room and jumping up on the table because I was embarrassed to have her see me standing and walking in only my underwear. No idea why I was fine having her see me sitting in my underwear, but heaven forbid she see me standing almost naked. The exam proceeded as normal with her doing the exact same things in the exact same order. The only difference was at the end of the physical. With me lying on my back after she examined my abdomen, she used her right hand to lift my waistband up a few inches and stuck her left hand in and felt around like usual. Only, where she usually stopped, she just kept going. She still didn't actually touch my genitals, but she did feel along the top of my legs and groin. Her fingers were brushing up against the sides of my scrotum. She then felt along the top of my genitals and base of my penis and repeated this on the other side of my scrotum. She next pulled her hand out of my underwear, grabbed hold of my waistband with both hands and pulled my underwear out and down, completely exposing my genitals. She just stood and looked. She was pulling my underwear down so far that I remember actually lifting my hips up off the table thinking she wanted to pull them all the way down or off. When she didn't remove them I eventually lowered my hips back down to the table and she eventually lowered my waistband covering me back up. I was mortified. All of that probably took less than a minute, but it felt like an eternity. Not only was I embarrassed by that experience, but the thought of going back to her for a sick visit and looking her in the eyes after she had seen my penis was more than I could take.

No pants? More like no underpants !

Always stripped down to my briefs or later, boxer shorts, but they quickly came off.

Nude physical exams were not unusual when I was a kid. Some of my friends doctors did that too.

I remember two incidents as a child (pre puberty) where my pants had to be removed at the doc's. They were unlike later planned physicals where you can prep by getting naked under a gown before the exam. Both times I ended up on the examination table, after my parents and my aunt prompted the doc to take an intimate look at my anus. The adults might have planned the anal intrusions, but they came as a surprise to me. Both times, the nurse pulled my pants and panties down to access my bottom. In one incident, I was put face down on the table, had my underwear pulled down, and then I felt the doctor and nurse spread my buttocks and put some lube or cream to my anus at which I started bawling. At the other end, my parents held my hands and tried to distract me. I'm not sure if they inserted anything, as it may have just been ointment for a sore anus, which I remember once having for some reason. In the second incident, I was on my back on the exam table, and the nurse pulled down my shorts and panties and then lifted my legs so that the doc could insert a suppository.

Phoenix 7 I had a similar experience when I was about 9. Had a a small growth that was getting a bit larger just under my skin about 1”+ from my anus. My mom went into the exam room with me and the nurse, I remember aan older women (at the ti,me) about 50, told me to fully undress and lay flat on the table. Within a few minutes the Dr came in,, also an older female and talked to my mom on what was going to,occur. She then cam to the front of the exam table where my head was and said that this may hurt for a bit and that I can cry if I need to but that it needs to be removed. She then said that she will be spreading my butt checks and then I will feel several needles which is the medicine that will sting. At the same time the nurse will holding my legs and my mom was to stay near and comfort me. Within 30 seconds the first shot was injected and I felt it so bad I started to scream. Then I can’t remember but my mom said there were 3 other injections. When it was all done, I had a piece of gause with tape that needed to be changed daily. Then about a week later, I had to go back and get 3 stitches removed. So agin I was asked to lay flat on the exam and this time the nurse spread e y but cheeks and the Dr removed 3 stitches.

Lucky you, the few recollection…I have of going to the pediatrician as a child. i was made to strip from the start of the visit till about five minutes when it was all over. Then was I able to get dress.

As a child I was always undressed by the nurse. Even my underpants she smiles when I was naked saying something like now your ready for our examination?

Once the nurse called you back and got ur weigh And height. She took you to a exam room. Instructed you to remove ur pants but u could leave ur shirt, underwear and socks on. then she would get ur blood pressure ask your mother or who ever took you the routine health questions about you and your visit that day. Then came the temperature. She would ask mom if I was running a temperature at any point and if she had taking it ? She would say let’s get your temperature. She would walk over to the counter and get a thermometer then tell you to lay on ur stomach. If u was lucky she would get done before the door opened and the Doctor and the other nurse would come in the room leave the door open with u laying there with a thermometer in ur butt
