How are you dressed (or undressed) for the exam?

The doctor has always left the room when I was undressing. My GP uses those paper half cover things that you pull over your head. It doesn't even cover my entire breasts. And a paper sheet for the bottom. My gynecologist uses a fabric sheet. Undress from the waist down.

Doc leaves the room while I undress. If it's a full exam, like an annual exam, I take everything off and put on a cloth gown open in the front and I have a sheet to put over my legs. If it's for a gyn issue or a cervix check i undress from the waist down and cover with a sheet. If its a pregnancy checkup where he just measures my belly and listens to baby's heartbeat I don't undress, he just lifts my shirt and slides my bottoms down a few inches.

In a paper gown, nothing on under it.

Paper exam gown, naked under it.

In most german gyn offices:

-Naked? No, never

-Naked from waist down - yes, everytime i see my gyn

There are no gowns in Germany, or maybe only a few doctors who use gowns for their patients

Also, do you have to undress in the presence of the doctor - no, never

I believe that in most US gyn offices:

-Naked? - NEVER

-Naked from waist down - yes, with often a paper gown, sometimes cloth

-Gown from waist down - yes, usually a drape sheet, also of paper, sometimes cloth

-Full body gown - generally to the knee level in average height women

Also, do you have to undress in the presence of the doctor - NEVER

It's pretty much the same here in Canada, though my first gynecologist did full exams with just a cloth sheet to cover up with. He got a kick out of me, as I was young and extremely shy about my body, so I was sitting there with the thing wrapped tightly around me when he came back in to the room!

For my wife's annual physical, which includes a full pelvic and rectovaginal/rectal exam, she removes everything including bra and panties. Then she puts on a paper vest, opening in the front, and it is short, only coming down to her navel. Then she sits up on the end of the exam table and covers her lower half with a paper drape. The drape covers her down to about mid thigh.

I forgot to add that if she is wearing socks, nylon footies, knee highs or stockings on the day of her exam, she leaves them on. And if she is wearing pantyhose, she obviously takes them off.

We have conjoint physicals and we like to watch each other's exams.

My most recent exam completely naked but was given a small white blanket for my lap. Not sure what the blanket was supposed to cover she had to move it away several times. Her male nurse had a fine view. Usually though depending on which doctor. When I saw my main doctor who is a stern old man, I had pain from a UTI he unbuttoned and pulled down my jeans and underwear. He’s a no fuss guy. He’s pulled up my bra and shirt before. I wish his Np was as bold. His NP who I usually see will have me get naked but put a paper breast vest and a lap blanket or full gown that opens in the back. Depending on the visit. When I had a sonogram of my heart I was completely naked waist up. Originally the tech said I could keep my corset bustier bra on but he ended up helping me take it off when he couldn’t get the images he needed. So all of the above. Fully dressed and fully naked and anything in between.

It depends on the doctor. I've always been naked under a gown, except for socks. Once I was given a paper vest and drape. Every time since then, I've been given a full body gown and drape. They always leave the room so I can undress.

@Wet_and_ready I did not realize you had to get undressed at all for which doctors. (;

My gf wears jeans and a tshirt stuff easy to take off then undresses leaves her socks on puts the gown on with the opening in the front and sit on exam table with sheet covering her legs

When I go to the gynecologist, I only have to get free at the bottom. I keep my top and socks on.

After examining my genital organs, I am allowed to dress again and must clear the breasts.

In a normal doctor's examination is usually not so erotic.

For my fetish doctor, I always wear a long white T-shirt and socks for examination.

It was depend of weather. In my country, mainly weater are colder days. So, if it was hot days I'm wearing a dress with stockings. In other days I usually going to my doctor with jeans and blouse. We haven't something like 'gown' (it was used for sugery or in privet visit-but not too often). Gyno are waiting for me after inteview, so I was taken clothes behind curtain or in bathroom. When doctor comes to gyno chair, he seen my naked waist part of body and exposed abdomen area. I can have got socks (last doctor said it was much healher-haven't mycosis and cold)

@reddish I totally agree that gown is unnecessary waste of resources and in fact is seldom used in Europe. Short dress is the best outfit for pelvic exams; you don't need to take it off but just pull up and remove underwear. Socks/stockings are an option depending on season of the year and climate.

Undressed from waist down. They usually let you keep your shirt on.

I just recently went to see a gynecological oncologist, and for the first time ever I was not given any type of gown. I was asked to take everything off from the waist down ( I had socks in my purse that I put on) and I was given a large drape.

At GP, I am told to remove everything and put on gown. At Gyno, I am told to remove everything from waist down and given a paper drape to put across my lap.

My doctor always had me take everything off except my panties and put on a gown for an exam.

Most women are describing being asked to undress waist down at gyno.

Dosent a gyno typically also do a breast exam? Dosent the top come off at sometime?

I live in the US. I’ve always had to take everything off. I’ve always had a breast exam with my pelvic.

I gather in some countries they don’t do breast exams with a Pap smear?

No in Britain when you have a cervical smear on the NHS that is all. You do not have bimanual exams, breast exams or anything else. You do if you go private though but that is different.

Usually I'm given a paper gown to change into with everything off underneath. The doctor has me remove the top/pull up the bottom as needed for whatever part of the exam we're on.

Always nude with a paper dress and socks bleh not a great look .

I have had two differente settings on that,. Nude waist down of told to undress all and put on an gown. Depends on were i get the exam

For my regular exam it’s naked under a gown as she’s going to do a breast exam however I recently went for an appointment for what I thought was a persistent yeast infection and the nurse told me to undress from the waist down. As I had a sundress on it was pretty simple, panties off and good to go. Honestly it was so damned easy that’s now my go-to outfit for exam day.

Sadly it wasn’t a yeastie but me being old that was causing the issues. They SAY that an active and frequent sex life prevents genitourinary syndrome - they LIE! Bastids. On a topical steroid for it so we shall see what happens.

My wife is examined completely naked, without a medical dress. She has to undress in the office in front of the doctor and me!

I’m in the UK so it’s just a smear (I’m a trans guy who still has them).

With that being all it is it’s straight forward stripping below the waist. I leave my socks on though!

I think most women are naked under a gown. This facilitates the heart, breast, lung, and abdominal exams, to be followed by the pelvic exam.

It depends upon the office. Some of them it's naked under the old hospital gown. Sometimes they add a sheet to cover the rest of the legs. Some doctors have a paper gown and sometimes that is supplemented with the sheet. If all I have is a pelvic and not a breast then it's usually just a sheet over the bottom half.

My gf is naked under the paper gown with a paper sheet to cover her legs when she in the stirrups. My gf is a little overweight and she always complains how those paper gowns never fits right she wishes her dr would switch to cloth gowns instead but her dr told her its more economical this way using paper gowns
