Checkups

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to discuss the topic of the yearly checkup. The regular non-gyno checkup with the family doctor. Do all you girls still get them? If so, what all is involved? How far do you undress? Do you get a gown? I had mine a few months back and would love to exchange stories with anyone who is interested.

Im 19 and i go to the GP for checkups. I stopped going about 2 years ago to my pediatrician. I wear a gown and the doctor does everything my pediatrician used to do.

I go to my GP for my checkup and pap and pelvic. In fact, I just went last week, but I was on my period so I have to go back for the pap and pelvic in about 10 days.

I'm starting to think the length of the physical exam is inversely proportional to the length of time we spend talking. If we talk more, I think the exam tends to be shorter, and if we talk less, I think the exam tends to be longer. I have no idea why he does some things some years and not others. Maybe it goes back to being a function of how much time is filled with exam vs. talk.

I wear a gown. I take of everything except my underpants and then put on the gown and when we do the pelvic exam, then I take off the underpants.

I see a gyn for my annual pelvic exam, and PAP smear. I get completely undressed, and put on a gown. The gyn will have me drop the top of my gown for the breast exam, and the gown is open when I am in the stirrups for the pelvic exam.

When I go to my family physician for my yearly check up, I am dressed. I get a chest xray, lab work, and urine sample before I see the doctor. The doctor goes over my chest xray and lab work with me, and then he does my physical. My doctor asks me if I have had any problems or any questions since my last visit. My doctor checks my eyes, ears, nose, and throat, and had me take off my bra and he listens to my heart and lungs with the stethoscope. Since I have an annual gyn examination, my family physician does not do a complete gyn exam on me. He will usually have me pull up my skirt, and pull off my panties if he wants to check me.

My experience is pretty much identical to Kimberly's. I go the gyn and to the regular doctor (every other year or so for the regular doc)...

I take of everything except my underpants and then put on the gown and when we do the pelvic exam, then I take off the underpants.

Just curious—why keep the panties under the gown? Not that I don't love the idea of you pulling down your underpants on the examining table—wow! But I am curious why—are you trying to keep your vagina covered as long as possible?

He will usually have me pull up my skirt, and pull off my panties if he wants to check me.

When he has done that, why did he do it and what did he do to you?

Thanks,

Dr. Brian

My partner gets them every 2 months and she doesn't even have a medical fetish

My PCP doesn't take more than weight/HR/bp. We talk in depth and he takes in depth notes on the computer as we talk, and then he sends me to relevant others - allergist, GYN, etc.

I'm just following instructions and it's not nearly as exciting as you are imagining. I guess I'm told to keep the panties on because that part only needs to be bare for the pelvic exam and at the time of the pelvic exam the nurse is also present. So it probably goes to trying to reduce the chance of an accusation of impropriety. When it's time for the pelvic exam, my doctor leaves the room to go get the nurse and instructs me to take off my panties presumably while he is gone.

Oh yes, it is!! It may be totally routine for all involved, but it hits all the right buttons for me. I'll think about just before my next orgasm, and it will put me right over the top, without embellishing the story at all. Just the way you wrote it has me erect and ready.

When the doctor does the breast and pelvic exams, does he make you remove the shirt and skirt or just lift them up?

When I was refered to an ob/gyn when I was sixteen for a specific problem I stayed with him for the next thirty years.

My GP, whom I basically never saw, was responsible to check everything other than my breasts and pelvic organs. When he retired i was told that gynecological exams were typically performed by the FP/GP as part of a complete physical.

My ob/gyn rarely did much examination of areas outside his specialty.

Now I undress competely and put on a gown for my female FP.
