Pediatric Examinations

The doctor just used to lift the band on my panties and peek down at my genitals, I guess to just check for development of pubic hair, etc. As I got into my teens the doctor would palpatate down closer to my pubic hair

In my teenaged time, I was very often ill and my mom took me to the paediatrician several times a year and I got always complete and full body exams by him from head to feet. I always had to undress everything and he always did genital exam by inspecting, palpating and checking my penis, foreskin and testicles and he also did a visual inspection of my anal area, I also know the frog position, but not from the exams by the paediatrician, I had that by a gastroenterologist at the childrens clinic, who I had to see from age 15 to 18 regularly, too; he did always a complete full body exam, too, with very thorough and long abdominal exams every time, and also a short genital exam and then anal and rectal exams, too, where I have to be place myself in that "frog position" on my elbows and knees on the table.

Our doctor always had us assume the frog position for a visual of our labia and anus. She spread me with her fingers and as I recall asked me to push as if I was having a bm while checking my anus. It was rather embarassing to say the least - all done with mom and a nurse looking on.

I always had my genitals examined at the Pediatricians until I stopped going at about 16. My dad was always in the room too. I would always still have my shorts and underwear on, and I'd be lying on the exam table. After the doc finished my upper abdomen, he was undo my pants and stick his hands under my underwear to complete the exam of my lower abdomen. I also had an erection, so i was just pointing at his face and he had to move it out of the way. Then he would say "I need to have a look down below." With that, he grasped my erect penis and opened the slit. He then moved it around looking at all sides. Then he stuck both his hands all the way into my underwear to feel my testicles. He would roll them around for a bit and then retract his hands. I was never examined while standing nor did i receive a hernia check. since I was still dressed, my dad couldn't have seen more than maybe my dick head. But still weird having a guy play with my erection while my dad is sitting there.

I'm following him / her, too. This is good for a little afternoon humor. 😁 😁 😁

As I said before: This place does cater to all types!!!!! You know there are people born with both parts!!!

Maybe we should start a category for her..... er..... him --- just to be nice to either of them..... whatever..... you get the idea.

Transgender! That's the category missing here!!! Wait a minute, isn't there another name for someone born with both parts? Somebody help me out here. Let me see if I can look it up, maybe we can recommend it to the Webmaster.

Got it! Maybe he's / she's a hermaphrodite. Wouldn't that explain it?

... isn't there another name for someone born with both parts?

Yes, the term is hermaphrodite - and while there may be a question about fertility working in both ways or in any way at all, external genitalia of both genders can be present in certain individuals.

In classical antiquity, especially in Greek mythology, hermaphrodites were much admired for the combination of both male and female parts and traits and the gods themselves were not above lusting after them.

Modern science, of course eschewing all manner of romantic notions, usually ends up classifying such individuals as pseudo-hermaphrodites on the basis on one or the other sexual characteristics of one gender being underdeveloped in relation to the other gender. Or else there is the modern standby of chromosome analysis - something the Greeks in BC knew nothing about, nor would have cared about either had they known anyway. Their notions of beauty were external.

When sexology was still a new science or not even really well defined, scientists studying sexual matters liked to coin their own terminology, usually combining Greek and Latin terms into a new English (or German) word. The upside was that it sounded horribly learned and erudite and moreover worked as a kind of code amongst scientists, not everyone could understand these newly conceived terms and so they could write or converse about them without being thought overly scandalous or dirty-minded.

Anyway - many new terms referring to hermaphrodites and their condition were coined in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some sound very erotic in a medical way, others somewhat contrived or sci-fi like even. I like to save these rarely used terms when I find them. Here are a few from my list.

These I had to look up myself ... ha ha...

androgens

anandryne

androgyne

puera - girl-boy

Bigendered / Dual Gendered

amphieroticism - person can conceive of self as both genders

gynandromorph - individual with charac. both sexes

gynadromorphous - hermaphrodite

gyandry - extreme hermaphroditism

gonadal bipotentiality - possibility of changing into either gender

My pediatrician was female and every school physical I had to undress to my tighty whities. I always anticipated her pulling the front of my underwear down and looking at my genitals. Even at such a young age, I always looked forward to her looking and touching my penis.

@ agracier --- Did you study Greek mythology or something along those lines?

@ agracier --- Did you study Greek mythology or something along those lines?

Ha ha ... no, of course not ... not much use for that when trying to make a living. But it is something that is intriguing, colorful, interesting and falls within the general subject matter of history - and this is something I did tangentially. And it was more fun reading about Greek mythology than learning the boring catechism in grade school, that's for sure. If you have to study religion, pagan mythology is much the more fascinating subject, really and truly.

Anyway, this is just stuff that I come across when reading and either remember because it's interesting or exciting or exotic or whatever. The special words I just save in a file for future reference. All those erudite sounding words having to do with sexual matters, call me whacky, but they give me a little thrill, a medfet-like thrill.

Agracier,

I was not sure about Greek mythology in your case, but I will have to consider the fact that you seem to be very well-read.

I have enjoyed reading your posts for the past several years. They often provide a completely different perspective to an issue.

I remember going to the pediatrician for annual exams. I always just had to take my bottoms down while I was draped with a papery cloth. My doctor had me put my knees up with my feet close to my bottom and then open my knees wide. She always just 'took a peek' and maybe palpated my external labia a little.

I was always embarrassed about having her check my genitals. It generally took place at the very end after palpating my tummy. It always brought a flood of nervousness, embarrassment, and curiosity.

I remember being on the exam table in just my panties. the nurse would unceremoniously pull them down and help me into the frog leg position and the doctor would take a look which sometimes included at least a finger in my poor rectum!

My experiences about that topic are similar, my genitals and bottom always get checked by many exams during my teenaged time, because I had an undescended and lately operated testicle in my pre-school-time, a phimosis and a late puberty-start later. I mostly had to get undressed completely nude at the beginning of an exam, because I had serious abdominal problems more often, so I had those complete full body exams by the paediatrician and also by some other doctors (like the gastro-doc at the clinic and the dermatologist!) more times a year! I had to admit, that at this time I hated all these exams and felt mostly very embarrassed, too.

We had our kids exams at school. A paediatrician would come to school and together with the school nurse they would do our annual check up. We would undress to underpants and line up to be checked by the nurse first and then by the doctor. The nurse took our height and weight and then check our eyesight and blood pressure. The doctor would follow a usual exam procedure checking the skin, mouth, nose, chest, heart, nerves, spine and finally she would pull down my underpants and check my genitals. The younger we were the lower would our undies go. When we were 14 and 15 several doctors of various specialities came for our check up. One of the doctors was a paediatric surgeon. He required us to be completely naked during the exam and what was the most embarrassing he checked our bottoms which was just as shock for most of us.

Shed always palpate my testicles and then kinda start squeezing the base of my penis and work her way up.

"Salbert" was it a group exam of all the boys lining for their turn in the nude without privacy or an exam one by one which was performed by this paediatric surgeon

'esaterman',

It was a group exam. We all were in the same very big room where all the doctors examined us. There was a queue of a few boys to get your surgical exam. We all wore underpants, most the same style black satin shorts, which in russian is called 'trusy'. When it was your turn, you would get off your underpants and would stay for the whole exam naked. All boys around you an all other doctors could see your naked body as it was considered absolutely fine.

Yearly checkups meant starting out on the exam table in my white fruit-of-the-loom underpants. When I was little the nurse would direct me to lie down on my belly and she would pull them down to take my rectal temp before pulling them back up again.

The doctor (male) would then examine me like that 'north of the equator'. When it was time to check the 'south of the equator', he would grab the waistband of my briefs and ask me to lift my butt of the table and then slide underpants off. He have me then spread my legs and would do the penis, testicle check, then have me get on my hands and knees to check my back door.

During those early years, it was very important to me what he did with my underpants when he took them off. If he put them on the exam table beside me I could relax because it meant that I could put them on as soon as the exam was over. If he handed them to my parent, it meant the nurse would soon be in to give me some shot in my butt.

When I was 12 or 13, I was examined in private (no mom or dad) and I would stand on the floor for the southern hemisphere check. Underpants were lowered and he did his front check and then it was turn around and put your head or elbows on the exam table to check the back door. At age 15 I got my first DRE, wow!

I always got my penis and testicles checked. At the age of 16 i got my first rectal exam.

When I was young all the doctor did was pull my panties down, spread me a little and that was it.

My pediatrician never did a genital exam or a breast exam despite the fact that I went to him until I was 19. I wish he had because then maybe I would have had a better idea about what was going to happen at my first gyn exam.

I remember the exams that created the medical fetish that I now secretly love. I always had my penis examined, but never rectal until after 25. I remember at every exam since I must have been 6 or 7 years old, I would be in the exam room with my mother and the doctor. The doctor was an older guy, big, husky, always with a smile on his face. I remember being excited for these exams because of the way he touched me.

After the traditional waiting room precursor, the female nurse called my name and I followed her back with my mother. She would always tell me to "strip down to your undies and the doctor will be in shortly."

When the doctor arrived he did the interview portion. After the history part, in which my mother did most of the talking, I received a thorough head to toe exam. He finished with a feel and inspection of my penis and balls both while standing and on my back. Once I came to puberty and was alone, he had asked (when I was hard, which happened frequently) if my penis was always like that. I said no, because I thought he was trying to see if I was gay-- silly, I know. I wonder what he would have done/ said if I told him it was always throbbing hard.

As far as I can remember, the doctor checked my genitals every year. Before 11 or 12, all he did was pull up the waistband of my briefs and have a look. When I was a little older, he'd pull my underwear down and examine my penis and testicles on my back. When he'd pull up my underwear, he'd always position my penis pointing to the side rather than straight down which is how I was did it. I felt awkward having to adjust as soon as he stepped away, particularly because one of my parents, usually mom was in the room, as was my brother. The next year, he did that same exam, and then had me stand up for the hernia exam. From there on, it was always stand up, pull down underwear for check of penis, balls, and hernia. Thankfully once that started I was in the room by myself.

Doctor always checked my penis and testis and ask for any pain. it was short and quick but not regular

Under 12 age at a doctor's office, it was more like for "threluctantpatient", the doctor pulled up the waistband of my brief to have a quick look or less frequently pulled it down himself or herself if she was a woman.

As a teenager, it was different, I was told to pull it down and enough low to let the doctor look at my genitals

I don't remember an examination of my anus area at a dpoctor's office between 12 and 18 age,

the doctors were more interested by my spine and told me sometimes to remove my brief to have a better look.

Mine would just check my for hernia / lumps, putting his hand under my pants

When young had my genitals checked, but never my bottom.

Almost never. Perhaps a very quick labia check, but always very quick and brief.

When I was around 10 I was referred to a paediatrician for frequent left sided abdo pain. It was a woman who made me undress to my vest and pants. After doing a normal physical exam she sent my mum out of the room , sat on the edge of the bed and told me she needed to examine me between my legs .She told me exactly what she needed to do but she needed me to lie still .She also said she needed a doctor or nurse to help her.I was terrified.A nurse came in whilst the doctor got a tray ready with gloves and what I now know are swabs and a very small speculum.Doctor told me just to lie down. The nurse come one side of the bed and with the doctor the other I remember them both putting gloves on and I started crying. The doctor proceeded to pull my pants down and off .I started to fight them and I remember the nurse leaning right over my tummy area to prevent me from trying to sit up. The doctor called for another nurse and she came in and held my legs at my knees to stop me closing them. The big light hanging over was then moved down and turned on . The doctor then put a finger inside me and told me just to lie still and it would be over quickly whilst she pressed all over my tummy.. I remember her poking 3 or 4 swab sticks in as I screamed louder each time .I don't recall if she used the speculum .After that I was pushed over onto my side and the nurse held my right leg up whilst a finger went up my bum.I screamed even louder as she felt around.She also took swabs from their too.I was then allowed to get dressed and she sat and spoke to mum.I got a sticker on the way out for being brave .
