Pediatric Examinations

How many of you used to have genitals and bottom checked when you went to you annual physical as a kid? My pediatrician always asked me to strip nude at some point and climb on the exam table. When I was younger he checked me in the "frog" position and it didn't really last long but when I was 11 the nurse lift my legs up and pushed them to my chest and kept them there while the doctor was checking me and that time it took much longer as he checked also my bottom and everything. I was quite stunned the first time when that happened because nobody had warned me about what's going to happen and that position was quite embarrassing. Maybe the reason was that the doctor saw that I had developed some hair down there (that was the first time when I was in my puberty during my annual physical) and he wanted to check me more closely due to puberty but he could have warned me.. Anyone having similar experiences from childhood?

For me it was mostly lying down while wearing underwear and being asked to remove them. Then the doctor, female, would look and feel my developing testicles and genitalia.

Never, I was only told to take off my shirt and pants and I always had one of those paper gowns. The closest it ever got was when the doctor took my pulse or something, but she just slid her fingers under the band of my panties for a minute.

It happened to me as a teenager. Sports physical at the school. The Dr. would drop your shorts and check for hernia. We were lined up one right after the other so very little privacy.

Hm.

Every one of my exams from around 5-16 consisted of a genital exam. Since then they typically have not.

As far back as I can recall, I have always received genital exams at the doctor. I had a female pediatrician who was probably in her mid 40's and she had me strip down to my underwear for all my exams. She examined me laying down on an exam table, examining my penis and testicles. Later on when I turned about 9, I remember always being checked for hernia and the doctor examining my testicles and sometimes my penis.

They always let me keep my underwear on but then they would usually lower them just enough and say something about just taking a peak. Then they would look and usually part the lips just to make sure everything was ok and then it was done. Once I was about 16 they started to examine my breasts as well.

When I was about 10 I had to get a physical for summer camp. My mom took me to our family doctor, an older, no-nonsense kinda professional. My mother waited in an adjoining office while he took me to the small exam room next door bu left the door open.

After all the standard vital tests he sat on a short wheeled stool and had me stand directly in front of him. He told me to undo my pants which I did and let them drop to my ankles... I got very nervous as I had never experienced anything like this before and certainly didn't expect this. He then reached into the elastic of my briefs and lowered them. He began examining my testicles and must have noticed my apprehension as he told me to relax and that he wasn't going to hurt me. Then he told me to turn around and bend over. I was absolutely shocked and humiliated. I did as I was told and felt his hands, one on each cheek spread me wide open. He kept me in that position for what seemed an eternity and I can still vividly recall the embarrassment of the experience.

I believe this experience resulted in my fascination with medical fetish and exams.

My recollection is that my childhood pediatrician did not do testicular exams. It was only when I switched as to my parents' doc as a teen that I heard "please turn your head and cough" and a cold hand down in my Jockeys. The doc (male) allowed me to keep my brief on during the whole exam. No gowns were offered.

No, never had anything of the sort done to me. As a matter of fact, I hardly ever had to take much of anything off when I went to the doctor as a child.

I wonder what these doctors' justifications for performing genital exams on children is?

I've had the opportunity to read several different medical textbooks that go into minute detail of the physical exam process - and we're talking about 150 pages or more with descriptions and photographs - and each one of them has stressed that, unless there's been a specific complaint related to the genital area, there's no need to examine the genitalia of a child, or young teenager.

There's also no need to examine the breasts of a girl in her early to mid teens. I can see an exception if that girl comes from a family with a virulent history of breast cancer, but that's about the only case that comes to mind.

I'm just wondering if there's a lot of doctors out there that are using their profession to satisfy some kind of prurient interest, at the expenses of their young patients.

IMHO, I believe this can lead to some psychological issues for the child that may follow them for their entire lifetime.

I remember in elementary school they would have all the boys line up in the nurse's office for the physical. I remember the doctor was in the corner sitting at the desk when you would go sit next to him at the desk so he could perform the physical one by one. That was pretty embarrsing because he pulled down your pants and underwear in front of everyone in the room and checked your gentials, very embarrasing lol.

It happened to me once, and it was probably part of the beginning of my fetish. I was thirteen and had just hit puberty, and my family had just recently moved into the area, so I needed a new doctor for a checkup before starting school. She took me to one recommended by a friend.

The exam was typical enough until the (female) doctor had me lie down and pulled up my shirt to look at my breasts. She didn't touch them, but she kept me exposed as she listened to my chest with her stethoscope.

Then she pulled my shirt back down, but took off my shorts and panties without any warning. She listened to my abdomen and palpated it with my entire bottom half exposed, and told my mother that I was carrying around too much belly fat for someone my age - so embarrassing! 😳

Then she started pressing deeply into my lower belly and moved down to my vulva, which she felt lightly and looked at closely. Finally, she let me get dressed again! My mom never took me back to that doctor, and I wasn't sure after a while whether that made me happy or sad...

I remember it quite clearly. The pediatricians nurse was named Lydia. She was a very buxom german woman, probably in her mid 30's. She always directed the undressing and preparing for the exam. Always a rectal temp, and always a penis and testicle exam. She would squeeze my testicles until it hurt, then would pull sharply on my scrotum. When she examined my penis, she would do the usual rolling it between her fingers, then would give it 2 or 3 sharp tugs.

All medically necessary im sure.

We had exams at school from about 11. We had to undress and put on our cotton PE shorts. Most of the exam was in the shorts but at the end we had to drop our shorts to our ankles and the doctor - male - would take hold of each testis in turn and we would be asked to cough. Although uncircumcised other than looking my penis was not examined nor the foreskin rolled back.

We joined the Cadet Force at 16 and went to Summer camp. The first one I went to the whole platoon had to strip to the waist and the genital exam was much as for school. The second one I went to the whole platoon had to strip naked together and line up to see the doctor. Much the same exam as dropping my trousers but much more embarrassing as I got a hard on!

When i was 9 with my class we were examined in groups, taken from the class to the medical room. The doctor (female) ordered us to strip our underpants, then sat in a row on the bench while the nurse called us forward one at a time. She check the spine when we were facing the doctor and with our backs to the dotor. We were then ordered to drop our underpants to the floor and put our arms in the air. The she check slowly my penis, she lifted around and then the examin my testicles, then we were told to turn around keeping our arms in the air, and she open my ass to see it was all good..

I thing they were called developmental checks. The nurse or doctor later always checked under the fore skin once it was loose, as well as to check both testicles were there or had dropped. So girls you wern't the only ones, what a lovely experience all be it embarrasing at the time.

My first time was when I was about 10 years old. I went to see a specialist because I had a slightly enlarged thyroid and while examining me, the doctor (a very handsome man now that I think back on it) pulled up my dress to my waist and asked if he could just "take a peek" under the waistline of my panties. I said okay and he looked, and then he pulled up my dress and looked at my little breast buds. The next time I saw that doctor was when I was 12 and that time he had me strip naked, put me in a gown and he examined my vagina pretty thoroughly and then palpated my breasts. When he listened to my chest, he used the stethoscope on my heart where the mitral valve is, just under the left nipple. I loved it!

Yes having my legs pull up or being in frog leg to be look at

While growing up my dr seemed to be more thoro when i reached pubirty ussauly wore my underwear during exams and while laying down the dr would pul them down examine hair growth, testicals and penis.

My pediatrician would just look - turn your head and cough, bend over - that sort of thing.

Once, when I was 10, I had an intestinal illness and was taken to a doc. I was wearing pajamas. Without warning, he turned me over, yanked the bottoms down and gave me a none-too-gentle digital rectal exam. I yelled and squirmed, being quite shocked. Afterwards my mom scolded me for being rude to the doctor!

When I was young my pediatrician visited me accurately and completely naked. Usually in the "frog position" with the aid of a nurse he checked my penis and anus. Like many Italian doctors he was against circumcision but to avoid possible complications he always performed a forced retraction of the foreskin during the genital examination.

This procedure (that must be done only by a doctor) first times was very painful for me :'( :'( ! However I think this has been useful because I never had problems like many of my uncut friends. 😃

As far as I remember, the doc would check my genitals very thoroughly...I've started out in underwear...then my tighty whities were removed and I was check in the "frog" style and laying on my back.

I always got an erection and I would either have a dry orgasm because the doc would examine my overlay sensitive penis and when I turned 12-13, I would ejaculate. Mom would be in the exam room the whole time.

I think this is why I became a male nurse working in a pediatrician's office.

As far back as i can remember, my ped (male) would perform the head to tie routine, at the end he would have me lie down and feel my belly, he would then start humming a tune and lift the waistband of my underwear forward and pullback my foreskin and feel each testicle. that was it. I also got a kick out of the whole humming thing. Has this happened to anyone else?

I always remember having genital exams as a kid. I started with a male pediatrician, and switched to a female pediatrician around age 8, whom I had until I went to college, and in both situations I remember them reaching into my underwear and feeling around, then lowering my underwear to do a visual inspection. As I got older, my female pediatrician added a standing hernia check to my exam.

I was always aexamined with may shorts on, doctor just pulled them down slighty to chec if everything is ok. But friends told me that they had to lay down nude, and the were chcecked more closely.

I recall in primary school in the fifties. The school nurse would just pull your waistband out and look down at your genitals, no handling. I think they were more concerned with lice in those days. She used to check your head hair too.

When I joined the navy in 61 I had the full naked medical, complete with the head turn, cup the testicles and cough, routine. They had an interesting variation for the visual check of your anus. They made you hang onto a bar and swing your legs up and hold that position for a few seconds.

I was pretty uninhibited at 15, so it never bothered me but I know some of the kids found it embarrassing

It happened twice to me, once in school (6yo probably, AFAIR it wasonly a brief exam of the testicles) and once in hospital, when I had some urinary system infection

I was 12 when i got introduced to rectal exam and stirrups! what made it worse was mom and dad had a full view of everything, and i just wanted to die of embarassment when the nurse took my panties off and handed them to mom!

The earliest exam that I remember where my penis was looked at was when I was about six. The exam began with the doctor first taking off my shirt and doing the usual listening with the stethoscope. Somewhere along the line, he had me stand beside the table and he pulled my pants off and had me lie down on the table in just my little briefs. Even then, I was wondering if the doctor was next going to take my shorts off and the idea was exciting. While lying on the table, at one point, he pulled the front of my briefs down and looked at what my mother used to call my "mister" back in those days. After about five seconds, he put my shorts back into place and continued the exam.

The next exam I had with him was my first "standing" hernia exam. He pulled down my shorts to about my thighs, maybe my knees and did the old "turn your head and cough" routine. This is the same doctor that I had my exam at 15 that I wrote about elsewhere in this forum.

I think that first exam is probably what turned me on to medical fetish and preferring male doctors for it, although I find female nurses for med-play fun, too!

I didn’t have other regular exams as a kid than those which were performed at school. A school doctor took a quick look inside my underpants when I was 11 or 12. The genital exam took place at 8th grade when I was 15. I had to lower my pants in front of her and then she examined my testicles and penis.

My bottom was never examined when I was a kid or a teenager.
