Other countries- a full database

For some reason, there isn’t a lot of info on the differences from country to country on exams. There are a lot of anecdotes but can we have a thread where we can learn actually the differences?

Are there actually any countries where you are fully nude in 2023 for physical exams?

Are there countries where you are just in bra and panties for physical exams?

Thailand here: general physicals has been uneventful, at least since early 2000s. No nudity, just removing a shirt for auscultation or some doctors would try to reach inside the shirt themselves - yes even with children. Respect for modesty in civilians is remarkable here.

Genital exams are reserved for someone with special conditions e.g. problem with pubertal development - someone like me.

However, the military exams, especially for the conscripted, are almost parallel universe. There is literally every thing possible - group physicals, full nudity, complete shaving, checking for sizes, foreskin retractions, hernia exam, check for undescended testicle, rectal exam --- rumors say even semen sample (most likely for mini entertainment of immature trainers).

I know I know - that escalated quickly!

Have you experienced that or just heard about it?

I think that if you want to go beyond anecdotes you'd need a doctorate thesis or some other scientific study about differences between medical practices…
