What does your doctor say?

Since for my annual physical, I am in a gown; the doctor simply asks me to stand up and face her. After she gloves, she asks, "Please raise the gown." Then, "just checking for anything unusual." She usually asks about pain or discomfort. Then she says, "Okay, You know the drill. Turn around, lean forward on your elbows."

I had my doctor say when I was 13 or 14 something along the lines of "I just need to check and make sure everything is in the right place"

Today was my yearly exam. Near the end the GP smiled and said "Stand up, drop 'em and bend over the table" all the while smiling. As I was doing it she was putting on her gloves and lubing up. Then she said "Sorry this is cold and a bit slimey, now relax". She slowly inserted her finger felt around a bit, said all seemed OK then handed me a few tissues and said "you can wipe and pull up your pants". It took no more than 2 minutes from dropping the pants until complete.

It was an 830 appointment , her first and I joked about what a way to start the day and she said it was that or a pap and performing the rectal was her preference.

I'm always told something like "I just need you to remove your pants for me please".

I am always honored with the manner, respect and approach of the physicians I know and the ones I see as a patient. Even though I am there to be examined, or by their side, they have always asked permission to examine rather than relying on implied consent. The patient has the right to withdraw their consent to be touched and examined at any time for whatever reason. I have also wittnessed them ask the family member for permission if there is one present. I am able to joke and BS with my physicians. Their bedside manner and the humor exchange further builds the mutual bond of trust. Priceless.

My doctor asks me to remove my underwear before he dons the rubber gloves.

At my least exam doctor told me: What are you waiting for? Take off your clothes!

My doctor no asks me to remove my underwear but he loweres it himself on my knees. Before he said "I'm going to pull your boxers down to check your genitals".

When I was kid, until 16, at medical shools, it was "Removed all your clothes and lie on bed" at the beginning of the exam.

It was especially erotic as a kid having my checkups at one pedia clinic where we lived. I was always stripped down to nothing but my underwear (briefs). After going through all the other exam parts by the doctor I would be laying flat on the exam table (no pillow) and the doc would be palpating my belly working her way down until her hands were eventually under the elastic band of my briefs. After a while of poking and probing under there she would spread her hands wide to my hips and then would come the dreaded words, "Bob up for me please" or "Lift your hips, please." She had my undies slipped to my knees before I had a chance to lift up-all with one quick motion. I figure the smooth table paper helped make it so easy to slide down.

I can't remember exactly what my doctor said at my last physical, but I do remember that it was relaxed and mildly humourous and it made the process a lot more relaxing. He seemed competent but not so businesslike that it was intimidating.

I dont really remember.. usually I see her get the gloves out and I start hopping off the table to lift up my gown... (trying not to be too eager..)

Lol never had it done

It's usually something like, "Let's perform a quick check down below."

"pop your trousers off young man ....and come and stand nice and tall near me." then he would say "lets just pull these pants down a little bit so i can take a good look at you ok"

At my last physical, my male doctor said, "I need to check the family jewels. Can you pull down your pants and underwear for me?"

At my pediatrician it varied quite a bit. When I was very young, the doctor would just pull down the front of my underwear or slip his hand inside without saying anything. As I got older, more dialog was included.

[laying down on the table]

Lift up for me? Good. [he tugs my underwear down] Cough for me? Harder. Harder. Again please. One more time and you're done. C'mon once more. Ok good.

[standing with the doctor behind me, he reaches into the front of my underwear]

So, how's school going?

[standing with the doctor seating in front of me]

Ok, go ahead and pull those down.

He then went into a detailed instruction on how to do a testicular self exam complete with a hand-out, then checked for a hernia.

[laying down on the table, he pulls the front of my underwear down as far as he can]

So, are you examining your testicles every month? Good. This is how you check them. Tighten up? Again? Ok.

When I was a kid, the doctor would say I am going to take a peak at your penis, just relax.

It depends on what the state of your dress is,...I have gone to one doctor, *a female* where i was nude under the gown, and the nurse laid the lube by the gloves. I gulped, but she simply asked me to stand,

Other providers have me normally in my briefs, and they will lead into that by saying something like i'm gonna do your male exam, or ok, can you drop the shorts? As i hear them snap the glove.

Since for most real exams I am only in my undershorts, usually all the doctor will say is, "Please drop your shorts for me." with no other words or explanations given.

I usually do the genital exam directly after the abdominal so, while the patient is still laying on the table or bed I say something like, 'please remove your underpants and then come and stand over here'

Always "drop your shorts" need he say anything else....

My doctor just ask's me to lower my underpants so she can check my testicles and penis in a nonsalant way

"Okay, take down your pants and I'll examine you. Front first."

1) My pediatrician : "ok, just quick look at the boys (penis/balls)" ) as he is pulling my briefs down.

2) School/ Sports physical : 1) combinations of " drop your shorts, boxers or pants all the way down then big coughs".

3) Now, my family doctors: As he is putting on the exam gloves it's like " ok, hop down and drop your boxers to the floor. Then during the testical exam he tells me about thevimportance of feeling my balls for lumps each month. Finally, ok two big coughs and again. Now you can get dressed.

As I was nude from the start, did not say much.

This time please try not to give me another concussion and a black eye.

When my gynecologist does my exams he usually says "you're going to feel me touching you, Amy, so try to relax"

When I hear my doctor say those words I try my best to not get wet LOL

Mine have always asked me to pull down my own shorts. That was my approach when I was doing exams.

The last exam as teenager, the doctor said: « I have to check if your testicles are descended. » He opened my braguette an lowered my briefs to see my penis and testicles. He didn't touch them.

One year ago, it was my first exam as adult, except for the army. The doctor got gloves and said only: « I want to check the inguinal area. » I lowered my briefs after this.

My pediatrician would always say, "okay, i need to take a look all the way down here" as he was undoing my pants with me lying on the exam table. He would then pull down the front of my briefs and insert his hands inside to examine my testicles. I was always fully erect during this, and he would make sure to manipulate my penis to look at all sides and then take a close look at the head while spreading the meatus as well.

At my last physical, the doctor said "okay go ahead and drop your shorts for me so I can have a look at your testicles."
