Naked walking around during checkup

During my teen years my physical exams were always with me naked. Over the years several times doctor had me walk around to check my gait and spine. Sometimes I had to bend over as he ran his hand from my neck down my back checking the spine. Also, I had to stand on one foot and then the other. Since doctor was always complete in my exams and rever rushed, it didn't see strange.

All I can say is no, I have never heard of that in 63 years of getting exams.

I have never been asked to walk naked but the doc who did the annual employment physicals in my last company always had us doing various exercises (eg stretches /touch toes /stand on one foot then on the other) naked

Not walking around in the exam room naked. In underpants, yes. At least for jumping up and down to get my heart rate up. Not much walking even then. Even my team sports physicals in school didn't involve walking around naked, except to weigh-in for wrestling and that was just being nude in the line to the scales. I'm don't think that full nudity in an exam room is any different than full nudity in a locker room unless I'm missing the point. Ever stripped down in a locker room and go to the showers and back. What's the big deal?

When I was young I had a problem with my back, my parents thought I wasn't standing straight, so I had to go for a 'posture' exam.

It was a very strange exam. I have never had an exam like it, before or since. It was extremely embarrassing at the time, however, I am glad it happened now as it is one of my favourite fantasies.

When I entered the exam room there was a female doctor and a female nurse in the room. After asking me a few questions about my problem, the doctor told me to take off all my clothes, including my socks and underpants, and stand in the middle of the room.

It felt strange having to get completely undressed in front of two women, but I did as I was told, and soon I was stood naked in the middle of the room.

The doctor then looked at how I stood, from the front, both sides and the back. While doing this, she took out a camera and took pictures of me, completely naked, in each of the front, back and sides poses. She said this was necessary for my medical record. She then produced a measuring tape and took lots of measurements, of my arms, legs, torso and even my penis.

I then had to do various stretching and flexibility tests. I had to stretch my arms out in the air, stretch my arms out to the side, put my hands on my head, put my hands on my hips and turn my head from side to side. I had to bend over, squat down, stand on one leg and then the other, jog on the spot and jump up and down. I then had to walk back and forth across the room, in various different ways; normally, on tip toes, on heels, with arms in the air, with arms in front, and with hands on hips. I then had to get down on all fours and crawl across the floor.

I was completely naked the whole time. It was so embarrassing, having to walk around with my penis out in front of two women, especially as the nurse was kind of young, and she looked like she was kind of enjoying it. I was so worried that I would get an erection. Fortunately I didn't.

However, as I said, I am now glad that this happened, as it is one of my favourite fantasies, and one that I have re-enacted a few times.

Interesting recollection, thanks for telling it. Would you care to recount what the outcome was? Or did you ever have a repeat exam like that?

I know that when I was young, my mother especially also had this thing about 'sitting up straight', thinking my posture at the table atrocious, and would often warn me that if I didn't take more care of how I sat, I would end up in braces. Nothing came of it, it was just a parent's ploy, one of the many youngsters learn to ignore because of repetition without anything happening. But even so the idea of having to wear back braces or whatever orthopedic stuff they came up with was very unsettling. It would have been even more unsettling had I known what the preliminary doctor's visits would have been like.

Too bad we don't see much of this in the way of videos, only here and there is it touched on in some Japanese vids ... but not extensively.

I know that is sometimes done when evaluating the spine for a possible curvature which can be routine. It sounds exciting - I'd love it if my doctor asked me to do that.

Not really. Only the short distance from where I had to take off my shorts and then walk to the exam table for a rectal exam and then back to where my underwear and clothes were piled. I have walked around in my briefs for a posture check once or twice and have stood in lines of boys undressed to underpants, jockstraps or nothing at all for group physicals and weigh-ins, but not long periods of nudity in an exam room.

I had a mean female ped that made me be nude, I would have to bend over so she could check my spine and be weighed and height nude but it was all in a room with a closed door. Then walk to the table and sit on it.

Goodness NO. Here in the UK modesty is of an utmost priority. You would never be allowed to prance about naked. In fact the medical staff only uncover the parts they need to look at, re-cover you and move on. We are I guess lucky, not only with free healthcare, but also with the way we are treated and our privacy respected in all aspects.

After the exam, the doctor said I was basically normal, my spine was a little bit curved but that this was common in children of my age. I went for a couple of further visits after that, but they were nothing like the first one, very tame in comparison.

In a way I was a little disappointed as that first exam was so exciting and part of me wanted to go through it again. It is something that has stayed with me my whole life and has always been one of my favourite fantasies, which is why acting it out again was so great.

It sounds like you have an excellent doctor. In this day and age, everything is about money and profit and that includes medicine. It takes time (which is money) for patients to undress and dress again, which is why more and more practices are using the excuse of patient modesty to have patients completely dressed for most, if not all, of a physical examination. When a patient is completely naked the chances of a doctor noticing a skin issue or other issue worth consideration. In addition, you doctor checked for balance/neurological issues while you were naked, which I applaud. Nothing was there to hide any fine motor muscle movements which might indicate the early onset of an issue. My suggestion is hang on to your physician. He sounds like a very good one, indeed!

I've had insurance exams that required me to stand with my legs apart and bend over, twist my upper body...other odd things. All while completely naked. It wasn't a doctor either. It was a med tech and it happened in an office.

The tech was a male.

No, never. Completely unprofessional and never medically necessary.

I've been naked, such as for a dermatologist exam, and walked around, such as for a neurology exam, but NEVER at the same time. Even as a kid, the walking and moving was done in underwear.

Someone may wish to correct me, but I can't think of a single professional non-emergency medical examination or procedure where full, undraped nudity would be required. Regardless of the procedure, there should be some form of draping or clothing on to protect the modesty of the patient.

It seems like he should've had you pull up your underwear.

Required? Never. Preferred? Sometimes. I personally find gowns and drapes to be more embarrassing than nudity in the very few exams where the entire body will be examined. The particular exam I'm thinking of is the full body skin exam. I'd much rather be nude than have drapes manipulated and areas possibly missed.

It's not sexual, it's survival.

It sounds to me like he forgot that the exam (perhaps it was mandatory/ structured) required that this be included, and just rushed to do it. I also agree with the post from last year that the examiner is a thorough one, and one well worth keeping

When it comes to skin exams, I don't want anything missed! Yes, it IS survival!!!

I absolutely agree in that I don't want a single inch of skin missed in a full-body skin cancer screening. But I do believe it necessary for the doctor to be mindful of unnecessary exposure. It's not practical to navigate around a fully dressed individual, but there should be no issues navigating around a loose, open gown and underwear.

Maybe my philosophy toward nudity in the doctor's office is a bit unusual, but although it's been many years since I've had a good long exam, if that time ever does come, I think I would find it more embarrassing for the doctor to try to preserve every iota of my modesty than to just have me slip my underwear off and be done with it. For example, in the future, if a doctor wants to do an abdominal exam with my groin uncovered (some do, some don't), it would be less embarrassing to me anyway to just take the underwear off and be naked for a few extra minutes rather than try to preserve what little "modesty" there is by only uncovering the groin. Same thing, say, if I ever get, say a full-body orthopedic exam--when he's examining the hips, if he needs my underwear out of the way, let's just take them off completely, otherwise, just leave the underwear be. But don't play peek-a-boo.

Of course, I'm talking about real exams. In play exams, it's a different ballgame, no pun intended.

That sounds quite funny actually, playing peek-a-boo ... ha ha.

But I bet a doctor would be offended if you ever said that to their face.

If there are any others in this forum old enough to remember the draft board physical exams you probably recall the part of the exams where everyone did naked exercises. They were referred to as either the orthopedic exams or the "range of motion exams" and from what many posted in previous groups were included as part of the pre-induction exams at most if not all of the AFEES centers.

Unlike the WWII and Korean War draft era where the nudity was the "uniform of the day" during the Vietnam War draft, undershorts were he typical fashion de jour. For the exercise portion of the exam the tighty whities, or even jockstraps if worn came off.

What I remember is that we formed in a big circle of about 20 examinees and per demonstration of the medics and doctors in the center did some arm movements, did a few push-ups on a floor which was not exactly hospital ward clean, , ran in place for a short while, then the highlight was duck walking. Not just duck walking forward toward the medics, but also a generally ill fated try to duck walk backward where I remember always falling onto my ass.

I have no idea why that portion of the exams required nudity. In previous blogs some mentioned that it was necessary for nudity in order to observe articulation of the hips, but that should not have required dropping briefs or jocks.

I have never experienced a rectal exam, but I have had to walk the length of the exam room and back nude as well as stand on one foot and then the other nude. As others have said, it's to check gait and balance. I have also been checked for scoliosis naked in addition to the genital and hernia exams. I knew that I was going to be embarrassed somehow whenever the doctor asked me to hop down from the exam table after removing my underwear.

Every doctor has a different perspective when it comes to exams. I would feel very uncomfortable if I had to endure being naked, for no justifiable reason. I’ve had doctors who required me to strip to my underwear, just to listen to my chest. I’ve also had doctors who had me lay on my back, while they pressed down on my abdomen. I felt very uncomfortable going to those doctors, and switched over to a doctor who does none of that.

When I was 15 my younger brother and I (he was 7 at the time) had to strip completely to bare skin for our checkups. I remember while I was walking across the exam room I was thinking 'My brother and I are stark naked while some man I just met had us both undress completely,in a strange room with my mother watching both of us in the altogether' It was weird knowing that we came in with nice clothes which were now in a pile on a chair and now were naked.

Yes just to check my spine and skeletal position

This used to be a routine part of the exam, sometimes nude, sometimes in briefs. It makes sense that you were nude, so the doctor can see your posture & gait accurately.

My current physician starts the annual physical with me fully clothed for interview questions. The shirt comes off for EENT, heart and lungs. He steps out while I remove pants for the abdominal palpating and pulse points. This is done on the table in my underwear. Finally, “step down and remove your underwear.” He has me stand with arms out, lift one foot, then the other. He stands and has me bend over the check spinal issues. He sits again and I stand in front of him for genital/hernia check. Then it’s over the table for rectal and prostate exam. I’m naked for about 5 minutes. He maintains a conversation the whole time. He tosses a box of tissues on the exam table as he exits saying, “when you are dressed come into my office.”

Have any of the ladies experienced this during an exam? It seems to be a routine part of the exam for guys.
