Pediatric Examinations

My ped (saw until 19) always did a gential exam (even if I just went in for a cough). All visits ended with me naked, it was a ?f how long i was. For physicals it was pretty much start to end; if sick I started with shirt off and then later took off the rest. He only ever looked at my ass during physicals and I just lay on my belly while he spread cheeks. No DRE until 20s.

I saw my pediatrician until I was 19. Every visit for a physical included a genital exam. Usually, this was done with me lying on my back, just after the abdominal exam. The doctor would either ask me to pull my underwear down to my knees or simply pull the waistband forward (this seemed to vary, not sure why), then would begin by gently lifting my scrotum. After doing that, he'd feel each testicle, palpate for hernias, then he'd move my penis to both sides and gently squeezed it. Nothing from the backdoor (with the exception of a hospital visit, but that wasn't a physical).

MY family doctor never did genital exams. The only one I had was by the high school doctor - and it was not a sports exam, just got called down to the nurses office one day.

When I was in 3rd or 4 grade I had my first exam. My ped. did all the usual stuff and then came to checking my breast she called them boobies, anyway I would be naked down to my underwear. She would start with my breasts and then go down to my vagina. The first visit was really awkward because after she did the breast exam she examined my vagina kinda. All she did was took a peek at my pubic hair to c how much I had and then all of a sudden she touched around it. I was hoping she would have put her finger or fingers up there. After my exam she wanted me to go c another person about my development and they did the same thing she did. Since then that is all she has done to me and now I don't go to a ped. I still need to find a real doctor to go to. I am too old for my ped, because I am 18 going on 19 in 17 days

I remember having testicular/hernia exams at the pediatricians as I had developed a hydrocele. I was usually not too concerned about it, nevertheless I felt embarrassed when I had to undress unexpectedly. I was also kind of shy to talk to the girls in my class about doctor visits as I assumed that they might know that my genitals were checked..

The doctor would always have me stand up and he would pull down my shorts. He would exam my penis and balls with my mom in the room and then talk to her about it.

As a kid (5 - 10 years old), I always received a hernia check.

When I was 10 I went to the doctor for my school physical. After the doctor examined my abdomen he would pull my underwear down to my ankles to examine my testicles.

Genital exams always should be part of every pediatric complete physical exam

They did similar things for girls. My pediatrician would have me like on my back, then pull my panties all the way down to my ankles...then he would ask me to put the soles of my feet together and let my knees fall open on either side. It was very embarrassing and exposing...the fact the I was so helpless and vulnerable with my panties all the way down at my ankles while my small pussy was spread open

My pediatric exams always included a complete genital exam.

Not sure if my experience is typical of all Australians, but I never had a genital exam while at school.

I had to strip naked for my exams as a kid as well. My mom would go with me and the doctor would ask me at sime point to strip so he could check my genitals and he would then have me bend over so he could a visual check of my rectum.

Since puberty changes are directly related to visualization of and genital growth, Healtcare Providers need to assess and document changes in the maturation process to determine if there could be a problem which may be able to be corrected earlier on in development of the child.

Growth of pubic hair on the mons in girls are an example and are divided into 5 stages and growth charts are reviewed to assure adequate development. Labial growth and visualization of internal vaginal development are also associated assessments important to a good pediatric examination. Breast development is another way to monitor same maturation process.

During annual pediatric exams my doctor would pull on the waistband of my panties and take a "peak" at my genital development. When I was 13 she showed me how to do a breast exam. When her fingers ran over my sensitive nipples I got very aroused and have been excited by exams ever since.

Usually I was sitting or lying on the table and the doctor would slide his hands into my underwear then just pull my underwear down or out a bit.

When I went as a child, the doctor usually would usually have me slip my pants/undershorts down to check my penis/pubic hair for development. When I was older---teenager years---I usually ended up undressing to my briefs and he would examine my penis, but never my rectal area. I was 40 before I had my first rectal exam.

As a kid it was just a quick look.. lower panties and spread legs froggy

I can recall my Ped looking at my genitals at every check-up, as a kid I was much more worried about getting an injection.

I only had my bottom parts checked once when I was 12, it was really weird being looked at and spread open, i wanted to close my legs the whole time. I'm 19 and still haven't had my parts checked since.

As a male child in Brazil, pediatricians had me in my underwear, then did a genital exam while I was lying down. The doctor would just pull down the front of my briefs and check testicles and penis. Even being only 5 and way before puberty, I remember feeling a rush of excitement that now I interpret as being born gay. From that point, I'd always look at the other boys in the waiting room and imagine that they went through the same thing. And I'd try to picture them naked being checked.

Mine were pretty standard. Down to boxers until the very end. My ped would life them up and slide her hand under to check for a hernia without exposing me. Then I would stand up and remove them for the genital exam. She would retract my foreskin, then check the rest of my penis, then my testicles for lumps and mark my pubic hair growth for the tanner stage assessment.

None of my more embarrassing moments at the pediatrician happened during regular check-ups. At least, none I can remember. Generally, my mother would bring my younger sister and me into the room together. We would strip down to our underwear, and the doctor would briefly pull them down to inspect our genitalia, though not our bottoms. But there were no temp takings, orally or rectally, and no shots in the bottom. I did get a penicillin shot in the bottom once at the pediatrician when I was 8, but, for that, my mother left my sister in the waiting room with the receptionist.

I'd go in and the nurse would give me a paper gown and tell me to take off everything except my panties. The doctor would come in and do the exam, then have me lie down. My panties were always pulled down to my ankles. He told me to let my knees fall open, so I was in the frog position. He spread my pussy, all with my panties down around my ankles. Then he would remove my panties completely, and inspect me in a diaper position with my labia and butt cheeks spread and exposed. It was so humiliating, but I wish my doctor would do it to me again!

Almi325,

My doctor would have me strip to my underwear and never provided me with a gown. I was so nervous when she would ask me to lay back because I knew what was about to happen. She would bend and stretch my legs to test my flexibility and then palpate my abdomen. She always slightly pulled my underwear down and palpated close to my groin. Then came the most dreaded part, when she would reach into the waistband of my underwear and ask me to lift up. They were always pulled down to my ankles and my genitals were on full display. She would have me touch my feet and open my knees. She gave me a very thorough exam of my testicles and penis. I always had to jump off the table to pull up my underwear making me feel more exposed. However, just like you, I would do it all over if I could.

Sounds like my ped trained with almi325. Always undressed to panties to start and would always finsh, panties off frog leg position to examine external genitals and spread labia followed by tucking knees up to chest when she looked at my bottom

Terrible at the time but on reflection fond memory lol. My families current pediatricain does use the frog legs position but does not do the whole knees up to chest afterwards.

When I was about 10 or so I started having pain in my inguinal area. My mother was concerned it was a hernia so she brought me to the doctor. He believed it was a partially undescended testicle that was moving around and possibly interfering with blood flow to the area. I remember having to stand on – as I recall it the exam table with no pants or underwear on while he described the situation to my mother – manipulating my testicles as he did. I remember him squeezing one rather firmly and asking if this was the same pain. It wasn’t but I was scared so I said ‘yes’. Ultimately I saw a urologist who did surgery to correct an undescended testicle – and for a kid who even then had a fascination with ‘playing doctor’ didn’t THAT create a whole set of interesting feelings. At this point I’m rather convinced the surgery wasn’t necessary. I don’t recall my balls ever being undescended. Moot at the age of 48 though. I’ve had children with no issues and have had a vasectomy since. I guess it’s all’s well that ends well with my end. So to speak.

This doctor was more than likely as much responsible for my med fetish as anything. He was ancient, well respected and his office was quite old fashioned – he had a glass cabinet – like a china cabinet with some seriously old school and to my young mind fascinating/terrifying instruments. He could get my MOTHER to take her clothes off and she thought he was the greatest thing in the world (he was a relative by marriage – her aunt’s brother). Hell I liked him. He always called me ‘young fellow’ and encouraged my interest in science and medicine. One of those old-fashioned tousle your hair and call you ‘sport’ kind of guys.

I really don't remember any physicals as a youth. The main thing I vividly remember is my pediatrician sewed my foot up with no anestesia. I cut it open in my yard on a broken fruit jar. I would think this doctor must have been sadistic. I still can't believe my mother let him do this to me. I know if this was going to happen to one of my kids, I would have told the doctor to either use anestesia or we are out of here.

I do vagely remember a physical at Boy Scout camp. I remember hoping I didn't get an erection.

My exams were very similar to those that molliewhite and almi325 had as well - always first exam in the 'frog-leg' with panties pulled down around my ankles (not completely off though which made me even more embarrassed) and then the dreaded 'knees to chest' part. Funny that when reading some of the earlier threads I've been realizing that the knee chest part seems to be very rare, but now all by sudden there are at least two more with the same experience.

Very standard. Just usually a quick peek down below.
