Physicals with siblings

Have 2 brothers, never saw their exams and they never saw mine.

Me and my sister were examined together from a young age,so we were not that much shy getting exposed at he doctor.both of us used to get very long stethoscope exams.

My sister and I often went to the doctors office together but were never examined together. One of us waited outside while the other was examined.

When I was 13, I was in the room when my 12 year old brother got a physical. Our doctor pulled down his boxers, attempted to retract him, then simply stared at his genitals before announcing to my mom (and me) that he has yet to show any signs of starting puberty. This shocked me because I was already well into puberty by the time I was 12.

Up until I was about 5 years old and my sister was 11 our physicals with our pediatrician were scheduled for the same time and we were both in the exam room with our mother. She and I would take our turns hopping up on the exam table for the doctor's inspection. Nurses would come in and out of the room, the duration of their stay depending on procedures, mostly shots, being administered.

I remember watching my sister's exams including the removal of her top during her auscultation. More so I remember seeing her wide eyes looking on toward my examination. The doctor's examination of our genitals was usually no more than his hooking his finger into the underpants waistband and pulling it out so he could peek in. On occasions mother might have a concern with either of our genitals or rectal areas and we would get a more thorough exam. I remember both of us having our underpants at our knees at one time or another.

I recall noticing that my sister's breasts were just beginning to bud during an exam before our appointments started to be scheduled separately. I don't know whether she requested the change or if my mother or the doctor's office instigated it. I just know it wasn't me. I was curious about her body changing, but to an even larger extent I missed her companionship in the room, especially during injections.

My sister and I got examined together when we were young all the time. She is two years older.

Watching and being watched happened while growing up at least until I started to really develop then exams were done separately. I am not sure which made me more nervous, that is, sitting there seeing my sister get her exam and realizing I would be next or having to wait outside and imagine what was taking place and when I would be called into the room. Being twin girls, we received identical exams, no pun intended, and showing all. The car rides over were always quiet. My sister would often ask if we had to get a shot to which my mother always replied, "it's up to the doctor." That never seemed to ease my mind! Usually time would tell either I would see her get one or know that it happened as she left the exam room with a very sad face. Either way, it was then my turn and the nurse turning to my mom instructing her to make sure I got fully undressed!

Not allowed to keep underpants on or got gown Julie?

My twin sister and I were examined at the same time up through 6th grade (age 11). After that our physicals were done separately. I do have a brother, but there is enough of an age gap between us that we were never examined together.

Yes,MY older sister has seen me examined by my pediatrician and at my gyno appointments.It is nothing to me.My sister is 8 years older than me,and she has changed my diapers and diapered me numerous times,since I was put back into diapers by our mommy when I was almost 9 years old.So it is nothing to me,to be seen naked by her.

How did your physicals compare to your sister's?

Not a sibling and not an examination, but I once went together with my younger female cousin for a shot. I thought it was for her and looked forward hopefully to seeing her get it in her bottom but the shot was for me and she was present watching as I had to pull everything down and bend over the receptionist's lap to get it. She was considerate enough to look away when my pants came down but probably watched my bare bottom injected when I was bent over and could no longer see where she was looking. Absolutely humiliating!

When i was younger i went to the doctor with my brother. the doctor examined me first the my brother, and i remember seeing the doctor pull down my brothers underwear while he waa laying flat in the exam table. he spent a lot of time with him.

@exam doc:

They were fairly identical as far as I can remember. At 11, both of us were just barely aware that puberty was starting. And we hadn't quite had any changes begin at that point, or at least nothing noticeable that I remember.

I had an older sister and we were never examined together. However, right before starting 8th grade at age 13, my mom asked my sister, then 19 and home from college for the summer, to take me to my annual physical as mom had an appointment to list a house that day (she was a realtor). My sister and I were very close and she had seen me get spanked before on the bare bottom, so it did not bother me too much that she would see me naked that day.

However, my hormones were just starting to get active and I got smitten with a young nurse that had just started working at our doctor's office. I still had my shorts on at that point, but I clearly had an erection. I died when my sister and the nurse exchanged "acknowledgement" smiles. Fortunately, by the time the doctor actually had my shorts down for the genital exam, my erection subsided.

When I was 13, I was in the room when my 12 year old brother got a physical. Our doctor pulled down his boxers, attempted to retract him, then simply stared at his genitals before announcing to my mom (and me) that he has yet to show any signs of starting puberty. This shocked me because I was already well into puberty by the time I was 12.

Retracted? As in foreskin, I suppose? I believe I just started getting a growth spurt at 12, maybe even pubic hair. Don't remember.

Anyway, I have a younger brother and we were sometimes examined together. He had an undescended testicle which was a concern until he had that problem fixed, but otherwise our exams were basically the same.

Any guys ever see their brother get a physical exam? How old were you? How old was he? How much did he have to get undressed? What all of him did the doctor examine?

Yes, until I was maybe 14 or 15, my brother and I would get examined together. Since I was older, I always had to go first (no clue why).

I have taken my younger brother to his physicals several times. There's a decent age gap between us. He's now 15. He has to get underused to his boxers, and they're taken off at the end for the genital exam.

I don't have brothers but I have a cousin Three years older than me: I remember once I was at my aunt's for some holiday and she asked for a doctor home visit for my cousin with a flu, so I assisted to the visit (I was more or less 5 and my cousin 😎: the doctor asked him to remove the pijama, wearing only briefs; the doctor started with ENT examination, then Back percussion and auscultation with my cousin sitted on the bed, then heart auscultation lying down and finally abdominal palpation without moving the briefs and without genital exam. I found it quite different with my usual home exams, that started with lower part of the pijama and briefs removed, long abdominal and genital exam and ended with me mostly completely nude for heart and lung auscultation and ENT exam.

If you come from a large family or even just having one brother or sister then it was likely you also had doctor visits the same time to make it easier on a parent. I am curious how the expectation of having to go for exams were handled. Was it discussed among you or just approached stoically?

I always had exams with my brother. Nothing was ever discussed and it didn't bother me. I'm sure it didn't bother him, either.

I have a sister and we have had several exams together. We shared a room growing up and usually talked about it the night before. We both knew what was going to happen so out chats were usually just to find out what the other's feelings about going were. Sometimes we talked about what we were going to wear, mostly underwear choices because that was what the doctor would see us in. Most of our exams together were at the pediatrician although we did have one family doctor visit together in high school.

My brother is a few years older than me and I do not ever remember having an exam together with him. Maybe when very little, but before I have any recollection of my exams and checkups.

Perhaps if I had a sister it would have been different. I think having an exam with a sibling lends itself when the siblings are of the same gender. It will be interesting to see the responses here and if that is the case.

It wasn't my intention to ask about a shared exam with a sibling. My curiosity is more with how the matter of one's exam was dealt with by parents, and wondered how it was if siblings also had to go for it? For me and my twin sister, it was dealt with rather concretely. Mom would usually announce that we had to go for a physical, often a day before, and would arrange for it to be after school or towards the end of a day. She didn't want us missing school. The notion of having to see the doctor was largely greeted with a sneer by us and alone we would say how we wished to avoid it, while wondering if it meant a shot! Once we hit puberty, our exams were done individually so it meant one of us would need to wait in the hall for the other to finish. Waiting was often anxiety inducing as was being called in first. There was no way to win!

I don't know if I ever was in the same room as my brothers were or not. If I was, it was when I was a baby or a toddler. My parents broke up when I was 2, and my brothers wanted to live with my dad, and I stayed with my mom. I don't know if they were examined together or not. My guess is they were, since they are only 11 months apart from each other. They are 11 and 12 years older than me.

Like you, Julie, my main concern when going to the doctor in my youth was whether I would get a shot and, if so, where. Almost invariably I left with an injection-sore bottom!

Going to the doctor for a regular exam was not generally discussed in advance. In the morning she would tell us we were going to the doctor. She usually laid out new underwear for the visit. When I got older and I received a special form for a sports physical or summer camp physical I might know in advance.

It wasn't really discussed for normal exams. It usually happened in the summer. Mom would tell us not to make plans for a certain date because we had a doctors appointment. As we got older and were separated in the exam rooms my sister and I would discuss what went on. Generally it was the same until she went for the pill. That was without mom.

Starting around age 8 we would know in advance when they were coming. Mostly we would be worrying if we were getting a shot, more than the exam itself.

Once we got a bit older, preteen years, we would talk about if this was the year we'd start to get checked down below.
