Your age the last time a parent was with you for an exam

My mom always insisted on being present in exam room during my physicals until I was 16 yo. I tray to resist but she pleaded the Medical Office requirements who demand parent to be present at the examination until come of age. Doctor, female too breaks down my protest with the argument that it's an office policy. The nurse told me to undress to my underwear. My mom took my clothes and put them on a chair next to the table. The doctor came in and asked me how I was and talked to my mom about my health and physical development. She started by look through my eyes, ears and throat. He took his stethoscope and listened to heart and lungs and then asked me to stand up in front of the table. She checked my stomach and then she lock his fingers around the waist band of my underwear and just slide them down to my ankles. My boyish yet penis with newly budding pubic hair was on full view of my mother and nurse. Doctor starts with hernia check, testicle exam and then retracts the foreskin to ensure all is OK. I was examined this way in front Mom and I very embarrassed.

My mother did the same so I have been there and done that.... I always made sure I looked away from my children when I took them, I did not want them to be any more uncomfortable by me watching

I have similar experience. I was not so young. i was sixteen and was taken to a doctor for check up for stomach ache. The nurse gave me a blue hospital gown to wear . This hardly covered my back. the doctor cam in the room. My mum continued to be there and I did not want tell her to go out. I was afreaid of my mom. The doctor stated with the routine checkingmypulse, bp, toungue and eyes. He then strted palpitating my abodmen to determine where the pain was. My mother and the nurse wrere standing closeby, The docytor then started examining my lower abdomen and the nurse lowered my underpants down enough to expose my penis. I statted getting a semi hard on. I could see a faint smile on my mother's face. It was so embarrassing. I think that I was there like this for about five minutes and all the time trying very hard to think of other things so that i do not a full erection. Looking back I think Ienjoyed this

It's embarrassing and exciting at same time. I'm raised in a very puritan society, where the nudity wasn’t so common. As a result, in consequence of that live stile we all shape an enormous curiosity toward opposite sex and intimate body parts. Therefore I feel immense excitement and thrill when incidentally catch a glimpse of bare women’s privates, and embarrassed when be exposed in same way. Unchanged for centuries moral standards concedes powers to the mothers to supervise their male children in the most personal and intimate activity like to change, showering and routinely home-physical examinations until come of age. Oppose to that principles and norms charged as ill behavior and lead to fairly severe privation and punishment.

My mom never came in the exam room with me once I started puberty, but my dad did one time. He saw me with a full erection. I was so embarassed. He was cool about it though -- he never mentioned it.

Knowing my dad, he probably just thought it was normal.

In most of societies the mother oversees the health and physical development of both girls and boys, while for the father are inherent to ensure material comforts for the family. It’s normal for the mother to see partial or full nudity, when she execute hers duties or if she estimate that it’s important for their hygiene or health, independently of the level of physical development. Commonly most of the physicians and nurses are female and the boy feels ashamed to be exposed in front of all that females. Taken alone itself exam is humiliating for the teenage boy and he wouldn’t wish all that to run in front of his dad. Commonly the father is an authority and symbol of imitation for the growing boy, and will be degrading to be seen in that uncomfortably position. What is more there isn’t something that the mother never seen before, even thought a little bit grown.

I remember being examined by my pediatrician when I was around twelve. I was in just my underwear and my mom opened the door to see if the exam was over. Very embarrassing. Lucky for me she left shortly after.

My mom hasn't been in the exam room with me since I was about 13. Although a few years ago I ended up in the ER and the ER doc did a pelvic, I wouldn't let my mom leave the room with this strange doc touching me.

My mom always tried to come with me and I let her when I still went to a pediatrition. Now that I'm in my twenties, she tried to follow me for my GYN appoinment and had to be firmly told absolutely not.

My mom took me to the doctor until I was 16. As a kid I never thought much about it. She had seen me naked lots of times, in the bath and changing clothes, so it was no big deal.

When I reached adolescence, I became much more self-conscious about having her there. There was also an issue about the doctor, since he was a pediatrician, and I was growing too big for the cartoon paintings on the wall and the procedures, which required going down the hall in your underwear to be weighed and measured. At sixteen, it just wasn't cool to be standing there in briefs, with other parents and kids coming and going.

The doctor was somewhat sensitive to my situation. He would have me lay on the bench to check out my belly, pressing all around, and then shielding my privacy with his body do a quick "peek below the belt" by lifting up the waistband of my shorts and doing a quick examination of my penis and testicles. Then it was down on the floor as he seated himself on a stool and I had to lower my undershorts for the hernia check -- "Turn your head and cough." Mom had a clear view of my buns at that point, but that was all, Then the shorts came back up, and I would start to pray "No shots... no shots." If the doctor said, "You can go ahead and get dressed," I knew I was home free. If he said, "Jump back up on the bench for me," I knew I was in trouble. That meant a needle, or two or three.

The worst was if I was there for bronchitis or a sore throat. That called for penicillin, which was liberally dosed through a big needle stuck in your rear end. A shot in the arm was bad enough, but those butt shots hurt, and my mom would always get up from her chair and come over to the bench to help the doctor and the nurse hold me still for those painful injections. I hated them. But I'm sure that's where my med-fetish started, too.

Anyway, the straw that broke the camel's back when I was sixteen, having that regular physical examination, was that my mother chose the hernia part of the exam to broach a question to the doctor. My pants are down around my knees, he is handling my most private parts (no gloved in those days), and my mom pipes up behind me: "Um, Doctor, my husband and I were wondering if you had any literature to recommend on sexual development for him?" Apparently she had heard the discussions with other parents about having the "sex talk" with your kids, and wanted the doctor to help her out. I wanted to die on the spot. I was a late bloomer in the sexuality department, and the last thing I wanted was a frank discussion with my physician and my mom while he was holding my penis in one hand and digging his finger up into my groin. I decided on the spot that never again would I endure a humiliating exam with my mom in the room.

Some years ago I reminded her of that humiliating day, which she also remembered vividly. We had a good laugh about her ineptness at the "sex conversation" and all was forgiven. But I did find a new adult doctor -- that's a story for another day, the next year, and went to my next examination on my own.

My mom would come in when I was young, but my dad came in during high school exams. Now that I'm grown up it would be humiliating to have someone else watch.

Mom was always in the room when I saw the pediatrician. She would restrain me by holding my arms when the nurse came in to give me my regular innoculations. As a teen when I started going to a 'grown up' doctor, mom went with me to the first visit and was present during the intake and interview, but did not come into the exam room with me (the doc had his own exam room adjacent to his office).

When I was married, my wife was with our kids for their exams up to their early teen years. Mom was definitely not in the room when they had their first vaginal exam.

I imagine she was there when I was a child, but then when I became an adolescent, she stayed out. It's interesting that we have these intergenerational taboos sort of written in our minds, without even saying anything. I remember reading "Oedipus Rex" as a high-schooler, and thinking, YEEECCCHHH! I loved my Mom, but not that way.

On the other hand, Dad was working, and absent during those times, and as someone else has pointed out, that's a normal function for the father--he cares for the material, Mom cares for the personal.

Humans are fascinating.

My mom was in there till i was 15 years old

My mom was always in the exam room until i turned 16.

A lot of moms like to sit in when while their children are being seen by the doctor. Some doctor's offices require it so that the do not have to have a nurse it the room.

As mother of teenage boy I completely understand the anxiety of mothers for presents at their son’s physical exam. It’s nothing sexual in this wish. Just express concern about the stage of physical development and health of their offspring. I mind is pretty normal for the mother to be in exam room, if it’s normal for the female doctor or female nurse. What is more, the medical office policy in most societies required a parent to be present in exam room during the examination. It is not less embarassing if it is the father, who assist to the exam.

Yonna-

Well it sounds like you have your mind made up.

Your a mother how do you know it is less embarrassing for a Father to be present at his sons exam.

You really have no idea what it is like to be a male as I have no idea what it is like to be a female and I would never presume to say I know what a female is feeling.

If I could suggest, why not ask the the son how he feels with you being present. Most doctor assume you do talk to your kids and can and will provide a privacy screen for the chaperon to sit behind during the intimate part of the exam. You can also turn your head and let your son know you are giving him every ounce of respect and dignity.

ASK THE PERSON WHO IS NUDE IN THAT ROOM HOW IS FEELS BECAUSE IT IS REALLY ALL ABOUT HIM AT THAT MOMENT AND NOT ABOUT THE MOTHERS.

Dear GEPDAR. In most societies and in the nature the mother is responsible for the mental and physical development of his offspring (MOTHERHOD) and ought to have knowledge of their health and stage of physical development on first hand. Your mom thousands times saw you nude. You were breastfeed, bathed, wiped after your pooping. The father in same societies usually personifies power, manliness and is symbol for imitation for young male. I don’t mind growing up boy will be pride (nude in exam room with female doctor and nurse) in front of his father.

My mom used to come in with me all the time at the pediatricians office and then one day the Dr. (male) asked my mom to leave the room so that I could have privacy (and then he asked me about drinking and such). To this day my mom will accompany to my appointments but she sits in the waiting room. The only reason she comes is because she knows how to get to the office and I don't! I am hoping that someday I will have a boyfriend/husband to come in with me!

What Stoneage era are you speaking of?

Just admit you LOVE copping a look at your nude son in a very embarrassing situation. Just stop with saying what ought to be for a mother, Just for the record teenagers and even children do not remember being a newborn so again that is just an excuse for you.

Both roles of parents change with every generation, divorce rates are at the highest they have ever been, my neighbor a male was just awarded sole custody of his children last year.

I usually went by myself when I turned 10, unless I was getting a shot, I'd always refuse and my mom had to come in and hold me so i could get the injection

My mother always let us choose whether or not we wanted her there once we were teenagers. The doctor would, of course, let her know if there was anything wrong or if anything needed to be done. I think it's important to protect our children's privacy. They will choose later in life how much of themselves they wish to expose.

My mom always accompanied me to the doctor, and was in the exam room with me until my late teens. My mom just stopped coming in on her own. I assumed that she figured I was old enough to be examined on my own, and she would give me my privacy.

My friend and her mother both attended the physical exam of her younger brother who was an Asian refugee in France and who spoke no French. Neither did his mother but my friend did and that is why she attended. The boy had been discovered to have a hernia when being processed as a refugee and the purpose of the visit was to set up an operation.

The boy was nervous in front of his mother and sister. The doctor was also female and she asked the boy to strip to his underpants which he did with his sister translating. When the doctor learned that the boy spoke no French she sent the nurse out of the room and began the physical starting with taking a medical history. While this was going on the nurse reappeared with a young Asian woman who introduced as an interpreter who would assist in this case. At that point my friend stopped translating and the young girl took over.

The boy was embarrassed to have all the women in the room with him. His embarrassment increased when the middle aged doctor abruptly pulled his underpants down saying it was time to check the hernia. With his mother and sister watching, the doctor pointed out to everyone the hernia which has descended into the boys scrotum. The young interpreter also seemed embarrassed to be translating the doctor's comments. It got worse for the boy when he developed an erection and the doctor laughed and said it was to be expected. She then examined the boy's penis and had difficulty retracting the foreskin of the erect organ. She asked him if he always had trouble getting the foreskin back when masturbating. The interpreter didn't know the word masturbation so the sister provided the translation. The boy denied know what masturbation was so the doctor gave everyone a demonstration while gently manipulating the boys penis. Everyone watched intently, including mom. They boys eyes were shut tight until he gave a groan and ejaculated into the doctor's hand on his penis.

That brought the exam to an end as the doctor asked her nurse to clean up the quivering boy and she declared that the boy would have his operation the next day. She also suggested that he be circumcised as the same time as his foreskin was too tight. This was translated by the young girl.

It is so embarrassing to have your mother present when being examined by your doctor. When I was 10 yrs. old I was operated on for a hernia, and had a number of pants down examinations with my mother present and watching - how humiliating!

Well i would think mom there is better than dad there right ?

Well imagine the scenario, Doctor: Male, Nurse:Male(fer some weird out reason), Dad. That's terrible!

On the other hand... Doctor: Female, Nurse: female, pretty adult older sister 😁

My mom hasn't been in the exam room with me since I was about 12, so after that I usually went to the exam by myself.
