Feet during gynecologist examination

I ask all women here to be so kind and answer my questions.

My questions to women about their feet during the gynecologist examination:

1. Do you take off your socks first?

2. Would you be uncomfortable beeing barefoot during the exam?

3. Has your gynecologist ever examined or touched your feet?

4. Would you be uncomfortable if the soles of your feet were touched?

5. Would you be uncomfortable with having your toes checked?

1. Do you take off your socks first? I take off my shoes first, then my socks. Then I put on old socks. Then I remove the rest ie. scrub bottoms, tops, panties, and bra. After the exam, I do everything in reverse. The old socks depending on how worn they are may go in a zip-lock baggie or in the trash. But I will not walk across the exam room floors in my bare feet. If you ever work in a hospital you will know why.

2. Would you be uncomfortable being barefoot during the exam? Not at all. My doctor requires it.

3. Has your gynecologist ever examined or touched your feet? Yes she does every time. She does it for all patients. She is also my primary care.

4. Would you be uncomfortable if the soles of your feet were touched? Yes because I am ticklish

5. Would you be uncomfortable with having your toes checked? My doctor always presses on my toenails.

1. Socks stay on, never had a doctor request I remove them for a pelvic exam, and it's chilly enough when you're just wearing a gown that I'm usually happy to get to keep them. For the exams in the later parts of pregnancy I'm not sure I would have been able to take them off without help!

2. Not about being barefoot during the exam per se, but like Tabitha32 says, ew, I don't want to walk barefoot on the floor of an exam room.

3. Examined, no. I have had them grasp my feet to help me get positioned in the stirrups.

4. Would depend why, I guess.

5. Yes, unless there was a really good reason. What on earth would a gynecologist be checking my toes for?

1. Do you take off your socks first?

- No, but I take off my shoes to get my panties off.

2. Would you be uncomfortable beeing barefoot during the exam?

- I wouldn’t be too uncomfortable as long as I had a pedicure recently.

3. Has your gynecologist ever examined or touched your feet?

- No but he pressed on my lower legs to check for swelling.

- Probably

5. Would you be uncomfortable with having your toes checked
