Medical examinations for school and university

Surprising how many stories I am reading of doctors actually doing intimate exams in US public schools until as recently as the 2000s. Nothing like that was ever happening at my high school or any other public schools in my state that I was aware of. It definitely depended on what state you grew up in.

I played sports in HS and would always get my sports physical at the school.

They would be in the evening and they would have everyone wait in the gym until they called your ack. Usually groups of 5 at a time. They had stations set up for height/weight, blood pressure, and eye test. Then you’d wait until your turn with the doctor. You’d go into the room and take your shirt off. He’d quickly check HEENT and feel your glands. Then heart and lungs with the stethoscope. No abdomen exam. You’d stand and touch your toes, squat down, and he’d check any existing or old injuries that you listed on your exam form. Finally he’d put on a glove (usually just one hand) and have you drop your pants and underwear. Quick feel of your testicles and “turn your head and cough” and you’re done. All in all, maybe 4-5 minutes with the doctor total.

At my schools if a physical was required to participate in certain activities you were given a form to take to your family doctor. The doctor would complete the form after doing the exam. You'd then return the form to the school. Never did a group physical.

By the time I was age 11 yearly physical exams became the norm. Upon entering high school I participated in some athletics so a sports physical was required. Typically I saw the doctor in early summer just to get it out of the way. My college only required a first year admissions physical, although university health services did offer yearly physicals for all students at no cost. Although I ceased athletics in college, I kept myself fit with running and weight training. I still had a yearly exam. (Still do).

Message 683 “Masterton ”

your relation of a physical in Sweden which was mandatory ( but you did not think that it was really mandatory and you skipped it the day you were summoned but were called again by the school nurse to come for a physica

It is funny because it seems that the doctor and the nurse wanted to punish you for your reluctance to be examined by requiring the nudity for your exam and instructing you to stand naked for a while in front of them.

For a patient or an examinee, it was impossible to know if it was normal and justified to respect a medical procedure which might be the same for each person ?

So you had no other solution than to comply and stand naked ! I have already read relations of exams where doctors or nurses requires nudity to a boy or teenager or young patient because they were angry about his attitude, it was very easy for medical persons to abuse of their authority and require nudity even if not necessary…

You have answered to most of my questions about your sport physicals at junior high and high school for boxing and wrestling teams where you were a great number but very soon split in groups of height or ten boys and conducted to different stations by a med student assistant who took the group in charge but you have not said what was the gender of the med student, if they were all males or of mixed gender ? I presume that it was more embarrasing to be accompanied at all stations by a female med student if there was some.

Normally you were never naked except for the time of the genitals exam but sometimes you had only a towel around your waist instead of being in underpants or wearing the “stupid” hospital type shorts

What did you feel the most embarrassing to wear ?

There were female staff as part of the team that came in to do our physicals, but the students who took us around in the smaller groups were all male. Maybe girls had female med students for their physicals. I'm not sure what was most embarrassing to wear. The hospital shorts were flimsy and rode kind of low on the waist, so maybe those.

I had One every year for sports. it was always your standard physical which involved a hernia exam. Nothing to write home about lol

One of my friends in college had contracted a yeast infection and she ended up going to the campus clinic hoping to just get some antibiotics. She came back like an hour later completely red faced, had me drive her to the pharmacy and didn’t really say a word about it, nor did I ask as while I do have this fetish, I won’t allow it within my friendship with someone unless it mutually comes in. One of my other female friends filled me in, they insisted they had to do an exam, male doctor, female nurse chaperone. Not sure exact details but she was 20 at the time, a virgin, was a hippie really natural looking so I’m thinking she had a nice brown bush, but all of this and she still had a real conservative vibe with sexuality. I think she was in the closet.

In elementary school we had medical examinations every year. 7-8 boys would be in the room, the doctor would tell us to take off our shirts, but our pants remained. The examination included an examination of weight and height, throat, spine and, for me, the worst - auscultation of the heart and measurement of blood pressure.

My heart would beat very fast during those examinations. The doctor would always ask me "Why is your heart beating so fast and so hard? You are a young boy, this is a very fast beating for your young heart". That was really embarrassing for me cus my friends were in and were listening everything.

I remember one examination when the doctor listened to the hearts of all boys before me for 10-15 seconds, and then it was my turn. I stood in front of her and felt my heart beat abnormally fast, I even looked down and saw my chest moving. The doctor had never done that to a any boy before me, but for no reason she put her hand on my left chest, right over my heart.

After a few seconds she said, "Your heart is going to jump out of your chest! I am going to listen your heart, but I think this is tachycardia!"

I was young and I didn't even know what it was. Then the doctor took a stethoscope and put it right under my left nipple and took her watch, took my heart rate for a minute. she didn't do that to boys before me either.

She finished the measurement and said: "Your heart is beating very fast, as if you've been running non-stop for half an hour, your heart rate is over 150 and that is very bad for your young heart". All boys in the room watched and listened to all this, which made the situation very uncomfortable for me. They asked me later what’s wrong with my heart, but I said them that my heart is healthy, as it is.

Afterwards, she measured my blood pressure, which was also high.

At all examinations at school, and even today, my heart beats fast and hard, but at that examination it was really fast and hard.

My heart would beat very fast during those examinations.

I had that happen at least once during a school examination. Not because of any sexual excitation or such, but probably because I was scared the doctor would find anything wrong with me medically.

A note was sent to my parents about the high heart rate with advice to seek further medical assistance. At this my mother, always ready for a panic attack when any of her kids were ill, made a doctor's appointment for me and probably prayed a handful of novenas in the meantime.

At the family doctor I had to strip down to underwear and do a whole bunch of exercises for the doctor: running in place, bending up and down and that kind of stuff. I felt like an utter fool and not only because of my white briefs. All the while my mother sat watching me, much like someone at a wake or waiting to hear a death sentence passed on a loved one. She could get awfully distressed about medical situations and become so overbearingly motherish and upset and prepared for the worst. I hated that and so tried to make light of anything medically wrong with me.

In the end the doctor could not find anything wrong with my heart, just a one-off circumstance, no need for further examinations. I was relieved and pissed to have been put through my mother's worry (yet again for the umpteenth time).

The start of my medical fetish began when I accompanied my high school girlfriend to her college entrance physical exam. We both were going to colleges in the same area we went to high school so didn’t need to move and still lived near each other. We had been dating for a year at that point and she asked me to come with to her check up, assuming it would just be a normal quick look at the vitals and height/weight, etc. We sat in the waiting room at a local clinic the college used for the exams and she filled out some paperwork. When called back by the nurse she asked if I could sit in the room during the physical to which there was no objection. Things started off normal and the nurse took her vitals and weighed her. The nurse then asked her to undress to her bra and panties and said the doctor would be in soon. Even though we had dated for a year I had never seen her naked or had done anything so we both giggled but it wasn’t a big deal. The doctor, a middle aged woman, entered a few minutes later and asked some questions then looked in her eyes, ears and nose. Next she asked my girlfriend, sitting up on the exam table, to remove her bra for a breast exam. Her face turned red and I was a little in shock as well. Neither of us thought there would be any nudity. The bra came off and I got a nice view of my girlfriends boobs for the first time. They were probably a C cup in size and she had large puffy light pink areolas. The doctor started by looking, then gave her an exam with her hands. She jotted down a few notes on her pad then told her she could put the bra back on but needed to remove her panties for a genital exam. Now beet-red, my girlfriend hesitantly removed her underwear and was told to lay back on the crinkly exam paper with her legs open. I now was looking directly her vulva from my chair on the side of the room. I guess I didn’t know what I expected but my girlfriend was very hairy down there. A full bush of dark curly hairs with a plump ridge of fleshy folds that protruded outwards from her vulva. The doctor looked through her pubic hair and then pressed onto the sides of the labia majora to get a better look at the long inner lips. Next the inner lips were spread and she looked at the clitoris and vaginal entrance. No fingers or speculums were inserted but after the visual external check, a q-tip looking swab was inserted between the folds and slightly into the vaginal entrance. The doctor collected the sample then told her to lay on her side and bring her top knee up to her chest. The doctor opened her buttcheeks and clicked on a penlight to illuminate her anus. My girlfriends bottom was facing my direction and much like her vulva, her crack looked dark and hairy with tufts or black curlies surrounding her hole. The doctor looked closely then asked my girlfriend to bear down and pulse a few times. She jotted a few more notes onto her pad again. Afterwards she told her to put her panties back on, get dressed and go to the bathroom to provide a urine sample which I obviously did not get to view. Once back in the room with the sample, she was given two vaccines required for school and was then all finished. Afterwards in the car my girlfriend said that the exam was probably the most embarrassing moment of her life but that she didn’t mind I got a full view of all her private areas. This college entrance exam was the exact moment I developed a medical fetish and it’s been with me ever since then. I always wondered what the doctor had written down on her notepad and who would read it. Eye color: brown, hair color: brown, age: 18, weight: 115 lbs and height: 5’6’- but was there a description of her breasts and genitals too? Was there a section that read: Breasts: C cup, large nipples, Genitals: full Tanner stage 5 pubic hair growth, large dark labia minora? I fantasized about being her school health administrator, reading each incoming girls health packet. With a picture of the girl then a vivid description of her development and body parts. I’m still in shock all these years later that I got to witness what I did- what a rush.

Even though we had dated for a year I had never seen her naked

@Penuck , So what happened when she accompanied you at your exam? Was she embarrassed or were you?

@Penuck , So what happened when she accompanied you at your exam? Was she embarrassed or were you?

@roscoe She didn’t accompany me to mine. In fantasy I wished she did but at the time I’m glad she didn’t since it was also more in depth than previous exams I had in highschool.

I always had to get a physical exam every year up to my college physical at the end of my senior year. I had physical exams after that but they weren't required.

And I know that kids in my state still have to get a yearly physical exam, even if they don't play sports, because they have to be cleared for PE, which is required for every year they are in school.

I never had any examinations at school (except dentist) or at university. Only thing required was to show a certificate of my private doc I am vaccinated against measles and heparitis b. Its because I study medicine and have contacts with people at hospital.

Has anybody been examined recently for school or university?

I wish I were still that young ... 😢

Had a scoliosis check in junior high, but that's it.

Compared to all you guys' experiences, I feel cheated 😢 .

I think the scoliosis checks are hot though, too.

This was absolutely true in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th grades. And from kindergarten to 5th grade, annual tests for worm eggs. In addition, quite often in the middle of the year there were incomplete medical examinations, looking at posture, vision and hearing. Medical examinations in 8th grade and university took place in clinics.

I do not ever remember getting a physical for school. Every year had to get my immunizations up to date, but that was it.

I had annual medical examinations whilst I was at school. These were full top to toe examinations. I went to boarding school, and as I was away from the area I normally lived in whilst at school, I had medicals during the summer holidays at home given by the local health authority.

We had a school medical examination every year, it always took place in a building which was not attached to the school. It was a kind of medical center where only school examinations were done. With the whole class (then only boys) we went to the building, once inside everyone had to undress immediately until you only had your panties on, everything else had to come off. When the time came, you were called one by one to the nurses who then checked the various tests, such as eye and hearing tests, height and weight. When all the preliminary examinations were done you had to go to the doctor. We never knew in advance who the doctor would be, it was usually different doctors. There were doctors who kept your panties on until your genitals were examined, and some doctors required you to take off your panties as soon as you entered the doctor's office and you remained completely naked during the examination. That's how it went every year.

I never had to have a medical exam just to attend school. The only requirement was that certain vaccinations were given and up-to-date. Participating in sports was another story. For that we needed a physical from the school doctor (we usually referred to him as the “vet”), including the then-standard “turn your head and cough” hernia check.

In the late 1970s to the early 1980s, in junior high school and high school, all students had to report to the gym for their annual check-up. The gym was divided by a large wall, girls went to one side, boys to the other. Boys had to take off their shirts and wait in a long line of 20 or more students. We were checked in and moved from station to station. Only the basics were checked, eyes, ears, nose throat, lungs and heart, then a scoliosis check. In high school, I was always nervous about the possibility of having to drop my pants at the end of the exam, but there never was a hernia check in the basic exam, so I was always relieved at the end of it. Boys participating in sports had a separate exam where hernias checks were performed. I didn't play sports, so I never had the check done in my youth, but I overheard stories from my classmates on the embarrassment of pulling down their white briefs in front of their teammates.

In the past I've read numerous stories on some other discussion sites where some schools were very unconcerned about male privacy, so the girls undergoing sports physicals got to see everything that was happening over on the boys' side. The guys who claimed to have gone through that said that most of them and their buddies either liked being seen by the girls, or they simply didn't care.

I've read those too. The mothers usually sat in the gym bleachers holding their boy's clothes and the boys would have to walk naked over to the bleachers where all the other mothers were also, to get dressed. Since the girls usually finished first at the other end of the gym many of them would come over to watch the show. The mothers would also talk to each other commenting about the development of the older boys and pointing them out.

I'd love to start an informal poll- do you guys all think that ending the practice of shameless, open male nudity in medical and educational institutions was a good thing or a bad thing? And why?

I've talked about this on Reddit before. Most of the older folks managed to have fun with it. Reddit's younger and more progressive readers found it disturbing, deeply offensive, and even "gross" as they called it. A few younger folks even felt that those parents and school administrators all belonged in jail. It's usually the OLDER folks who go into pearl-clutching hysteria and self-righteous outrage when it comes to things like open nudity. Not on Reddit.

If I'm ever reincarnated into a future world where officially sanctioned open male nudity is once again the law of the land, I say bring it on. I'll be more than happy to stand full frontal nude in front of some of my female classmates and teachers while waiting my turn to see the doc. Afterwards, I'll walk right over to the bleachers and engage in all manner of mindless chatter to give them an extra good show until I'm the last man standing. I'd milk that situation for all it was worth, believe me!

I guess I must be one of the older guys you mention and I think it's a shame that it's going the way you describe. However I feel it should be equal as I believe the inequality of male vs female nudity is causing many of the "sex" related problems we have. When I was in the 6th grade I recall a bunch of girls giggling and oohing over a picture one of them found in a text book. It was a painting of a nude man. the teacher went over to see what they were looking at and said nothing. Now turn that around and make it a huddle of boys looking at a painting of a nude female. What do think the teacher would have done to them?

I feel boys and girls should grow up learning about the differences of each other and about what is going on in their own bodies and the bodies of the other sex as they grow. I think they would all be better off if they were comfortable being nude together.

I have experienced the new attitude with my own doctor. When I had something I wanted her to look at next to my testicles she seemed to be afraid to look sort of like a boy trying to get a peek up a girl's skirt and many of the nurses I have encountered too. What the hell? It's her/their job to look.
