Medical examinations for school and university

When I was at a junior school in UK I had my short trousers and underpants taken down. I could only have been nine or ten and I could not understand why my headmaster was present as well as the doctor. They both looked at my privates and I still do not know if it was abusive

Reminds me of my pediatritian exams when i always wanted to have my tighty whities come off too so i'd be totally naked. My dr would have me slide my underwear down when I was still on my back. He never said how far but I'd pull them down past my knees knowing he would soon have me raise my legs and bend them while moving my feet up and this way the underwear would fall to my knees and then i could convenintly kick them off once he told me to roll over on my stomach. This always seemed to work.

It was in 2&4 grade ,we were made to get in t shirt and underwear get a check from head to toe front and back .I got my testies felt and a little anal insertion and was told to get dressed .In the 6th grade we were sent home with a note that we could be seen by a school dr on a saturday or go to our regular dr before we left for summer break .Any one that did not do this would be given a check at the first of the school year .So i went to my fam dr . 9 through 12 it was sports physicals and all that they wanted us to be checked for. i had one chest breast exam when i went into my 10 grade sports exam .

I had one medical exam in primary school, and later two others in high school. The last mandatory medical exam I had was when I started university.

For the first exam I was about 12 years old. Because I hadn't been in the public school system until age 10 I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I lived in a rural area so there were only 5 of us in my class. Three of us were girls. I remember first going through one room where I was weighed and my vision was tested, I only had to remove my shoes. Next I had to go for a hearing test. When that was done for all three girls we were instructed to go into " changing rooms" which had two entrances, one on the side of corridor which we could lock, and the other on the other side of the corridor giving us direct access to the doctor's office. We were handed some kind of "gowns" which were basically sort of cape which hardly covered anything, and were told to strip to our undies (luckily I was already wearing a bra then so I didn't feel too exposed, however one of my friends was still quite flat-chested so was already more exposed). Next we went one by one into the doctor's office. I remember coming in and seeing the male doctor and a nurse in the room. The first thing they did was instruct me to remove the "gown". This was unexpected and actually quite difficult for me to do since my classmate had helped me tie it properly. I stood there feeling very exposed in my undies and actually too tight bra at the time. I don't remember the exact details since it was a while ago, but I remember the doctor checking my lungs, palpating my belly, and looking into my ears and mouth. What I do remember is that at one point the doctor told me to " relax" and briefly massaged my shoulders. To this day I don't believe that was in any way medical and I don't quite know what to make of it. When that was done we were able to get dressed again and head back to school.

My second medical exam was in my second year of high school. I don't remember much, except that there was a difference in the way we had to dress. We basically had to strip down to our undies and t-shirt, but since we were separated from the boys at the time it wasn't too big of a deal, once we were with the doctor we had to remove our t-shirt. We just got the usual things checked over; weight, BP, lungs, hearing, urine test etc...and we also had the opportunity to ask the doc questions if we wanted to but I was always too shy to do that.

Two years later I had my third medical exam. By then I was getting more interested in MedFet even though I didn't know the exact name at the time and the only things I knew were from basic websites explaining pelvic exams etc in medical terms. I was sort of hoping/dreading that the medical exam would be slightly more invasive and exciting for me. However I was disappointed, nothing out of the ordinary happened, it was the same basic check.

When I started university I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I would have a mandatory medical exam. However this was the most disappointing one ever. I was examined by a very friendly medical student, who actually hardly did any actual examination. She just took my BP which was "elevated", most probably due to white coat syndrome, and lifted my t-shirt to examine my belly, which wasn't very successful since I am extremely ticklish. Other than that she felt my pulse at the top of my foot, which I found a bit weird and wrote me a prescription for some booster shots.

Since then I have been very frustrated since I no longer have any " excuses" for medical examinations, because there are no more mandatory examinations in my country as far as I know, and I'm a weirdo who's too scared to take any kind of medical appointment on her own, the only person of the medical profession who I regularly visit is my dentist! And that's only for insurance reasons 😄

My first exam was when I was 5 years old not long after starting school. I remember we were mixed, all boys and girls here in the UK. We were only down to our underwear, but I do recall some of the boys having to pull down there underpants and the girls there knickers.....why some and not others ??? Funny how things stick in the memory.....

the only person of the medical profession who I regularly visit is my dentist! And that's only for insurance reasons 😄

From what I see of your flag, you give as Belgium. But I have never heard or read or experienced any kind of necessity to have regular dentist visits in order to qualify or keep up medical insurance ...

You either go when you have a dental problem, or you simply don't go if you have none. Reimbursement is paid out according to the treatment received and in some cases according to age (repayment of dental prostheses for instance starts only after a certain age - previously at 50 and now later at 60 - or something of the sort).

But there is no requirement of regular visits to qualify for medical insurance in Belgium. It is universal and mandatory - either paid for by employers or in the case of unemployment by the appropriate government agency. People do have to make a small minimal contribution of their own - mainly just to remind them that it's not free. You can also sign up for more comprehensive reimbursement during a hospital stay for instance, also at a minimal charge, but nothing else is required except payment - certainly no exam or regular doctor or dentist visit.

Maybe you're talking about an exceptional sort of extra insurance plan? But if so, from what I know of Belgium, I doubt it will be very popular.

Ok my bad agracier, I guess I've been getting the wrong information, which makes sense since I haven't found any official confirmation for the need to go to the dentist regularly in order to get refunded, so thanks for that, it's actually reassuring 😉 I'm not on any exceptional insurance plan, just misinformed.

Aha, so I guess you're not a Belgian national then? Then it does become difficult to find out how a medical insurance system works if you don't go to express lengths to find out yourself - and believe me, that is a boring exercise, as I found out at the university here when getting mandatory social law courses.

I'd say that in Belgium, the overriding impulse that is built into the medical insurance system is to prevent unnecessary and over-consumption of medical treatments. So that ends up being interpreted by people meaning that you don't go to a medical professional unless you need one, regular check-ups as part of a yearly routine are not the norm here at all. Any norm or requirement to have a regular check-up would most surely be ignored by the vast majority of the population.

It is for "Pavel" who is a russian and left a message on this discussion :

"Seems, Irina and me - we live in the same country. And for boys 15 y.o. and older school medical exams are obligatory every six months. Also, boys exam are very similar - boys have to undress to their underwear and walk from one doctor to other. Almost all doctors are female, but sometimes one or two male doctors may be at exam. We had not need to take off our underwear at all, but front of surgeon it's mandatory. Usually, we are walking from doctor to another doctor - 2 or 3 boys. And when surgeon examines, especially when she examines ass, commands to bend and move apart the buttocks with hands, it's very embarrassing".

In France when I was a student in the last 50's and 60's at school and university, we had mandatory annual physicals and it was impossible to skip them.

so it was not like in your country every six months which was rather frequent, especially for teenagers of 15 age or more, it was not usual in other countries even if I think that it was not a bad practice to have frequent checks of the healtth of teenagers, especially if they did some sports.

As regards the set up of the school examination, I notice that you were allowed to keep your underwear until you were in front of the surgeon since it was an examination from medical station to medical station which was never the case in France where we had only one doctor, most often a woman and one or two female nurses each time.

but it was pretty normal and frequent to be examined like you by women doctors.

I don't think that the gender of the doctor was an issue, it was less important than the behaviour and attitude. Some male doctors could be much more strict and unpleasant than women doctors, especially when they had military manners and were tough with us, but on the reverse a few women doctors and nurses had also tough manners like if they were military doctors.

In your message you don't talk of nurses, did you were also examined in front of nurses as assistants of the doctors at each station?

You don't say if you were supervised by school teachers like we were in France since there was always the male PE teacher in the locker room where we undressed until underwear and he stayed here all the time we were waiting for our turn to be examined ? .

I can understand that it was embarrassing to be instructed to take off your underwear in front of the surgeon, if she was also a woman doctor, above all if you were three boys at that station and then exposed in the nude to each other during the examination by the surgeon and especially when she examined your ass, commanding you to bend over and to move apart the buttocks with hands. ( it was you who did on on instruction or her directly?), did you renove your underwear completely or only pulled it down ?

Was the doctor assisted by a nurse who looked at you during this examination ? and did have your two classmates been spectators of your examination when you bended over and moved apart your buttocks and could they see something?

at that time, what was your opinion, did you talked with classmates of your school about this kind of examination ?

You don't talk of the female doctor performing an inspection of your genitals with palpation of your testicles and retractation of your foreskin to see your glan and an hernia test like it was done generally when we had school physicals ?

Since you are russian, I presume that you have been summoned for the draft physicals by the draft office of your district and if it was like on some photos which are edited on different internet forums, it might have been more embarrassing and demeaning than your school physicals.

it might have been a real group exams in front of a lot of persons without much privacy

can you relate it?

Hadn't even heard of such a thing until I found it on the Internet. Is it not normal to not have such exams ?

That would depend on which years you are talking about. There is a big difference in what is now considered normal and what was considered normal in the years I went to school (late 50's-60's). More than half a century has passed since and customs and what is thought to be normal and advisable evolve and change.

Present day thought considers individuals to have near sacrosanct rights regarding their sense of prudery and notions of what they consider to be violations of their personal sphere. Many people also consider it their right to be opposed to practically all measures and regulations that come from any level of government or higher authority, no matter how sensible and advantageous these may be to individuals or society.

When growing up in my younger days, such things were not really questioned and were indeed thought to be the normal and advisable and the reasonable course of things. Regular medical exams in school were the norm. That is just the way it was. We were the inheritors of customs and usages that had become institutionalized from the times of the many Twentieth Century Wars - Great War, WWII, Korea, Vietnam. In some countries, this manner of thought lasted longer than in others for any number of reasons. It was thought beneficial to the general health of society, or perhaps there was an inertia inherent in virtually any social system, perhaps somewhat more prevalent in this country or that, or it might have been the result of the general prevailing social ideology. Not every country places a high premium in allowing the exercise of personal beliefs and the resulting idiosyncrasies and quirks that come with this manner of approaching life.

Well, I just updated the flag (found that feature just now), so now you know where I'm from.

In my experience/ from what I've heard, the closest to this in school are shots, which are entirely optional, and most probably taken on your arms.

It does sound embarrasing you having to waddle around with your briefs halfway down. It's for this reason that if I'm asked to lower my boxers I'll just take them off completely and put them back on when I'm told I can.

I had something like that happen years ago when I went to a doctor for a physical when I was in my 20s. Stripped to my briefs at the beginning of the exam. The doc had me drop my briefs to my feet while he checked me for a hernia while standing and then had me bend over the exam table while he did a rectal. After he pulled his finger out, he told me that before I pulled my shorts up, there was tissue for wiping up. He pointed to a box of tissues on a table across the room. I wasn't sure how that was supposed to work but I tried walking to the tissues with my shorts around my ankles. Within three steps I realized that I was about to trip. I reached down and took my briefs off and finished walking to the table completely bare. The doctor had his back turned and was making notes in my file so I don't think that he saw how ridiculous I felt trying to walk across the exam room with my briefs around my ankles. By the time he turned around and continued talking to me, I was standing nude and wiping my butt while my underwear was on the floor in the middle of the room. He acted like that was completely normal.

That's a pretty funny experience. I would've done the same thing. Today, I think I would've asked. Or ... the daring side of me would've just taken off my pants and gone to the table naked, and then pleaded ignorance! That would be fun!

It occurred to me later that my experience was probably very normal in that doctor's experience. He knew his own examination routine and that the tissues were across the room from where the exam table was. I suppose that some guys would pull their shorts back up to go over and get the tissues but that means that the lube gets in your shorts before you get a change to wipe. I suppose that some guys would take their shorts off at the table and walk nude across the room like I eventually did to get to the tissues. I felt dumb later for thinking that I could walk across the room with my briefs around my ankles. I don't have any idea what I even tried that. The next time that I saw that doctor for a physical, I just took my shorts off at the exam table and walk over to wipe up and then walked back and pull my shorts back on and sat on the table until he told me to get dressed. This was an older doc so the number of guys that he had seen nude during physicals was probably in the thousands. But I was younger and not thinking.

We had medical school exams in the 80s once a year until we were 17 yrs. old. It was always done at the beginning of the school year by a school doctor, who had the office in the public health office. Our class was normally examined on one day. The doctors were different, male and female, they were changing year by year.

Our parents got a questionnaire about our health problems and history to fill out completely the days before, which we had to bring to the exam. My mom always had to write alot because of my health and abdominal problems.

The exams were not as thoroughy as I had by other doctors, which I had to see regularly and often in my youth time because of my (abdominal) problems.

We had to wait in a big waiting area of the public health office, we were called in small groups of 3 to 4 into the preparing room, in which we had to undress to our panties and a nurse did weighting and measuring then and took our questionnaires. After that, we were taken to a separate room for eye and hearing tests, then after a waiting time again, we were called into the doctors room separately. Only the doctor and another nurse were inside the room. The doctor read the questionnaire, asked always additional questions to my problems, then he came to me and started the exams, which I can´t remember all in detail. He did a short check of my skin (many moles), my body and bone structure, while I was standing, then I had to sit down and he checked my mouth and palpated my neck and lymph nodes, then I had to lay down and he did the routine exams by auscultating my heart, lungs and stomach. The palpation of my stomach and small hernaited (outie) navel was the longest part because he (or she) were mostly complaint about that. After that I had to lift my bottom and the doctor pulled my pants down and did the inguinal hernia check and a short genital exam by retracting my foreskin (the doctor was always complaint about my phimosis) and checking my testes, too. It was not a big deal, the most embarassing for me was the nurse observing all, and that I always got a letter for my mom, within the doctor ordered my mom that I had to see other doctors (pediatrician and dermatologist) for additional exams. My class members asked about that then all the time, wanted to know, what the doctor did to me, why my exam last longer than by the others and what was written in the letter.

Further more intensive were my exams for my educations after my school time, when I started my bureau education at a big firm 1995 (which I had to broke uo 1996) and later for my nursing education in 2006. There I had to see the company doctors more often, they were both female, and these exams were obviously more intensive than at the school doctors!

We have mandatory exams each year during schooltime, it includes standard, height/weight, visuals, ausculcation, blood pressure and such 😃

In 2006 I was an exchange student in the usa.

In order to play football I had to undergo a physical examination. This physical was very unusal and very different from germany.

I went to a doctor in the town where i lived for this year. After I checked in I had to wait a little while and then the doctor called me in.

The doctor was about 28-30 years old. At first he asked me some questions about my helath, if i drink alcohol and if I had sex already. Then he told me to get undressed. I undressed myself to my boxers. But he said I have to take them off, too. I was very shocked, because I don't know this from germany. I stripped down naked and then I got measured and weighed. I had to sit down then and he took my blood pressure. He listened to my heart and my lungs and checked my reflexes. He had me stand up and I walked through the room. The doc said he had to check how I walk. I had then to bend over and my spine was checked. Then I had to lay down and he palpated my stomach. Then he told me that I he has to check my temperature. I had to lay on my back and had to put my legs up in the air. He then put some vaseline on butt and inserted a thermometer. He then palpated me penis, took my foreskin back. He also palpated my testicles. After this I had to put my legs up in the air and he inserted a finger in my butt. He checked my prostate. At this moment I got an erection. But the doctor toldme that this is very normal for boys of my age. I was 16 there. At last he told that it is standard in the us to get a semen sample. I had to produce a semen sample. Then I could get dressed.

I would be very interested if this is a standard procedure in the us. Or was this doc a pervert?

From what I've read over many years on forums, in stories and from chatting I would almost certainly say this is not the usual procedure for a sports exam in the US or in any other country. In fact, it sounds quite like how a fantasy exam would go ... unless you were planning on fathering a child, I wouldn't not think a semen sample be necessary for a sports physical, nor are temps taken rectally at that age ...

So possibly this doctor was enacting out one of the typical medfet fantasies and taking advantage of your presumable lack of knowledge of how medical sports examinations are normally conducted. Now was this because of an attraction on his part, a wish to enact a fantasy? Or perhaps inflict some form of medical embarrassment? That's hard to tell. Only you yourself would be able to tell from his demeanor and comportment ... maybe he was truly and well attracted to you on a personal level. That is also a possibility.

I've also heard from other exchange students coming from Europe to the US, that very often their uncircumcised condition often makes some males in the US curious or even hostile in a certain manner. Doctors may be especially prone to view uncircumcised males as an affront to accepted American medical and cultural wisdom, that sees circumcision as a necessary condition to sound physical health (the Clean-Cut American boy stereotype). And even though the incidence of circumcision is falling compared to half a century ago, in many regions and cultural groups, it can be very prevalent and the accepted norm. So anyone who is not circumcised will almost automatically by dint of human nature, become an object of curiosity. And a doctor, by nature of his profession, is someone who can in some circumstances satisfy that curiosity ...

I just can say that it was a real physical, and it really happened to me.

Maybe he was attarcted to, but I am not gay. When I think back to this exam I think he did something what you would tell in germany and probably also in the us child abuse.

Well i asked them about their exams.

All went to the same doctor and they had the same experience

well i asked them about their exams.

All went to the same doctor and they had the same experience

This does not sound like standard normal practice at all ... maybe one of these days someone will read about this doctor getting into trouble for mixing up his fantasies with his professional medical comportment ... what he is doing doesn't sound wise. From enacting a fantasy point of view, he might be having a grand time, but the real world is sure to intrude at some point ... I wouldn't want to be in his shoes when he's called upon to explain his procedures.

Lady M would love to hear about your exam at your doctor for school! jst my humble opinion! Linda

Seems to be a lot of variation in peoples experiences !! Still very interested to hear from others.

Oh how i wish we had school exams 😃

I never had any real exams at school, but here is my story:

I needed only one major check in school, and that was in 7th grade. During our gym class they called down groups of 5 or 6 boys or 5 or 6 girls at a time to the nurses office. We got into pairs for our exams and I was with my best friend.

We had a scoliosis check along with vision and hearing. For the scoliosis check we went behind the curtain and took off our shirts, the nurse would look at our shoulders(we had tank tops on) and then run a finger along our spine. I sat in the corner while my friend was examined and she did the same for me. Next we were told to sit in a small waiting room with the other girls that had been called down with us. We sat in the chairs and waited.

After all the kids were ready the nurse put in a tape.

"As adolescents your body's are changing, it is important to take note of these changes to insure you are developing correctly."

I thought it was just a health film like we had seen in past years.

"Your nurses and doctor will conduct an examination to make sure that your body has changed correctly"

This was different than other years.

"Your exam will begin with you filling out a questionnaire about your life, questions about your menstural cycles, sex life and life style will be asked."

"The nurse will go over any questions before the exam begins.

Next you will take off all of your clothes and put on a paper gown."

The nurse will come in to take your temp and begin. She will check your breasts for deformities and problems. Next she will look at your vagina and make sure you are developing correctly. If you wish, you may be alone, or have a friend for support."

Of course me and my friend grabbed onto each other, thinking it was a joke.

"Get with a support partner now." The head nurse commanded.

Our home room teacher, ms.beacon, was there to help with the children.

"Hi girls how was p.e.?" She asked us.

"Good" we mumbled.

"I know this stuff is kind of scary now, but you will get used to it." She explained.

"You" the nurse pointed at us. "In the exam room" ms.beacon followed us. "Girls, change into the gowns." She calmly told us.

We nervously did what she said. We tossed our clothes into the corner and sat on the chairs.

The nurse walked in"Anderson, you first." My last name was horrible seeing that I am always first for everything. Emily smiled at me to show support and sat down while I hopped on the table.

"Fill this out." She said handing us both a question sheet. We filled them out quickly and handed them back.

"Ok Hun, lie down." Ms. Beacon told me. I did as she said.

She sat next to my hand and held it "just remember we are not going to Judge your, just support you." She explained.

The nurse came to my other side and unbuttoned my gown. As she started to feel my boobs Emily stared in horror. "Hey your next." I teased. The nurse pressed the stethoscope against my chest as I calmly breathed. She moved it around and told me to roll over. She listened to my back and lungs, then I turned onto my back.

"Ok honey you can sit up." She instructed me. She pulled out stirrups and expined the procedure. "Now don't be scared. I am going to look at your privates, then feel them with my gloves on. Lastly I am going to put my finger in your bum.

Ms. Beacon helped me lay down and put my feet in. "I know it's tough but it's over soon." She sympathized. I stayed very much covered until the nurse came over and pulled up my gown saying "lets see what we have here." She touched my patch of hair with out a glove on, then snapped on a pair. Emily sat in the corner trying not to look at me. Ms.beacon sat at my head distracting me. I jumped as the nurse touched me.

"You need to calm down" she said, touching my vagina to get me used to her touch. "I am going to spread your lips now, you are going to feel some cold air." She took her cold gloved hand and spread me open, shining her bright light at me. "Good, now relax for a moment." She spread my butt cheeks and felt around my anus. "Now push out like you are pooping" she instructed. As I did so she slid her finger in. I had a shocked face and ms.beacon chuckled. "Ok Hun all done with that." She told me. "Now I need to check your pain tolerance so bear with me." She explained.

She took out straps from the sides of the table. She secured them around my chest, and stomach. Next she tied down my legs and strapped in my feet. I looked panicked as ms. Beacon stroked my hair. The nurse secured my arms then prepared a needle.

Now I was very exposed and immobile, so as you can guess I was terrifyed. She found my clit and sterilized it. "Now honey count to three with me" ms. Beacon said. 1...2...3... And it was inside me. I shrieked and struggled but the restraints held me still. My legs were shaking so ms.beacon held them while the nurse took care of the needle. "Now when she calms down I can remove the needle" she told ms. Beacon. The pain was excruciating, I wiggled and squirmed but they had me still. When the pain was so bad that I was numbed, she removed the needle. I couldn't move my legs so the Emily and the nurse dressed me.

I sat in the corner during Emily's exam, very unfocused until I heard her screams of pain. At the end the wrote us passes for gym class and we decided to skip the rest of the school day.

University medical exam... For the chest xray, there was a waiting area and a changing room facing the waiting area. Girls who came with printed tops woulds have to change into paper gowns while guys would just remove their printed shirts in the xray room. On the day I went there most of us were guys with only one or two girls. There was one girl who came with a printed top and she had to wear the paper gown. So she went into the changing room that was facing the waiting area with us guys all sitting around, and when she came out she was wearing just the see-through paper gown, her skirt, and using her top to cover her boobs. When she came out she was like smiling, shy and embarrassed. From the back could see that she wasn't wearing her bra under the gown. Guess it must have made her day (and mine too) being the only girl who's "naked" in front of so many pairs of hungry eyes.

I didn't have to have a medical to get into school but did have a couple whilst I was there. They were done when it was time for PE and it would involve a nurse coming in to check your height, weight, blood pressure, listen to your chest and then a spinal examination. We were allowed to keep our shorts on but had to bend over and do various strectching exercises in front of her.

At my university it was required that a physical exam be given at the health center each academic year. The humiliating part was they examined you in groups of ten males at a time. You stood there fully naked with the other males and it was very embarrassing for me because I have a tiny penis. No sensitivity by medical folks.
