Has anyone been examined by a parent?

I have this evening by my Dad. My sister has been making another of her short films which I have been in and one of the scenes involved me going for a Doctor's appointment. Her friend was supposed to be playing the Doctor but she had to pull out so my Dad stepped in to play the Doctor. We used the spare bedroom as the Doctors office. Ive had my height and weight taken, my temperature measured, my heart and chest listened to and my stomach palpated. Felt weird

Never examined by a parent, thank goodness, but that could be some very hot roleplay!

My mother used to check me until I was probably 10 or 11. I guess she wanted to be sure that I was cleaned myself properly. She wasn't a medical specialist or smth.

My adopted mom is a RN. I was ready to take a swim in the pool one day when she came out onto the patio and asked if I had taken my meds yet. I didn't mind taking the meds as they were helping. I was jus a little forgetful. My mind had been elsewhere because my biological mother died of a drug overdose not too long ago. I knew it was going to happen eventually and I told myself I was strong enough. I was not . I spiraled into an awful depression and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for 3 weeks for treatment.

Mom handed me my pill and some water. Down the hatch. She then put her hand on my shoulder and said I looked like I lost a little weight and told me to have a seat and she would be back in a moment.

She returned about a minute later with some of her tools of the trade. A thermometer, a stethoscope and a BP monitor. She wanted to just check my vitals BP, pulse respiration, temperature- she did just that and said “Your blood pressure is little low but nothing to be alarmed about. I am going to just have a listen to your heart and lungs, ok?” She took a few minutes, listened to my heart and lungs and did percussion on my chest and back and felt the glands in my neck then checked my thyroid gland and concluded I really need to start eating well again. I was getting better but she understood it was going to take some time for me to recover to some degree.

My appetite had gone to the dogs. It was all part of the depression. The drugs and the therapy eventually got me through the ordeal. Mom examined me because she really cared.

@BoyfriendB Examined where?

Yes, several times.

The first time I remember was when my parents thought I might have pinworms. I think I was 8 years old. My mother came into my bedroom one night, had me roll over, pulled down my pajama pants, and applied the adhesive tape to my anus, to look for worms. (Test was negative - no worms).

Another time, maybe a year later, my parents were suspicious that I had a hernia, because I was reaching for my crotch a lot. The two of them had me go into their bedroom and, while I was standing, had me pull down my pants and underwear. They then both examined my genitals and inguinal region. No hernia, just underwear that I had outgrown.

BTW, my father was a physician who had a general medical practice, but limited to adult medicine. When I was 15, and so already had gone through puberty, my parents decided it was time for me to have a general medical exam, the kind that adults have, not pediatric. At my father's office, I had to strip to my underpants. He conducted a thorough exam. Then he had me take down my underpants and did both a genital and rectal exam. I felt very embarrassed.

Sounds like your parents seemed to assume the worst, instead of thinking about the mundane. Especially the too small sized underwear … ha ha

@Bobbee my parents surprised me several days in a row to use tape to check for pinworms. In my case my doctor asked them to do this at sunrise They did this at my doctor’s request. It was the doctor who examine the tape. I was only 4 or 5 so at the time.

I wonder why all that fuss to check for pinworms.. it's a single pill to clear them with no side effects. Or maybe it is that decades ago the de-worming remedy was complicated and/or had side effects, so it was used only if sure that pinworms were present?

When it comes to pinworms or tapeworms, it seems everybody is a comic … even my otherwise so staid and serious mother thought the things a hoot and a half. She would joke about them and how they were diagnosed (what she remembered from the 1920's-30s' when she was young). Apparently it was all a bit humiliating and embarrassing back then.

I haven’t been examined by a parent other than them looking down my throat. However, my uncle is a physician and I remember him coming to town one Christmas and I had a terrible cold or some sort of bug. I remember him borrowing my Mom’s stethoscope and listening to my lungs. I still remember him kneeling down next to me and putting one hand under my shirt with the stethoscope and the other in my chest outside of the shirt. 25+ years later, I still often wonder and think about what a complete physical from him would entail or be like! I often wonder if he conducts genital and hernia exams during annual physicals, or if he just discusses self-examination. I wonder if he‘d demonstrate a TSE on me, or even mention it? Skip it all together? Or have a colleague do that portion? I have to admit, I honestly wouldn’t mind a complete exam from him—I trust him not only as my uncle but also as a clinician. Plus, I wouldn’t mind being naked in front of him if I could see how thorough he is!

@Patient414 Maybe you should just schedule an appointment with your uncle. It seems to me that it would be a very fair and legitimate request.

@Bobbee It would definitely answer my questions but he lives out of state and besides, I’m not sure that it’s entirely allowed for a family member to treat another family member in a formal setting like that if it’s not an emergency. I guess I’ll leave it to my imagination! I’m sure it would be a little awkward while explaining that it’s time for the genital exam and I’m sure his hernia check would involve his finger being pretty deep in each inguinal canal. I’d love to know how the testicular exam would be! Or a rectal!

@BoyfriendB Examined where?

@Pecan nutjob my private parts.

I've never been examined by a parent.

My mother examined my uncut penis after every bath. She also put coconut oil on my penis and rubbed it in.

What was the reason? To facilitate retracting the foreskin? Or something else?

Yes. After my mother became a nurse practitioner (I was about 13) and I was sick, she would listen to my lungs and look down my throat. I remember wanting to go to the doctor instead.

I was never examined by a parent, but my friend’s dad was a doctor. He wasn’t a pediatrician. I believe he took patients 12 years old and up through adult. One night, when I was 16 I think, I was at my friend’s house and wasn’t feeling well after dinner. My friend went downstairs to his dad’s office and asked him to examine me. I was the last patient of the evening, and the nurse already went home. My friend came into the room with me and I had to undress to my underwear. The doctor felt the glands on my neck and took my blood pressure. He told me I felt warm. I saw him get a thermometer. Since he dealt with lots of adults I was sure he would take my temperature orally. I was shocked when he told me to turn over on the table. I always had it taken rectally at the pediatricians, so I guess, my luck, it didn’t matter which doctor I saw, it was being taken rectally. I knew him very well, as I was at the house many times, but felt a bit embarrassed when he took my underwear down. He told my friend he would be back in a minute, and that he should hold the thermometer in place. My friend told me he gets his temperature taken the same way. The exam was pretty complete, and eventually I found myself totally naked. While still naked I again had to get onto the exam table and I got a penicillin shot which burned a lot. He also gave me a prescription, and in about 3 days I was much better.

Has anyone else seen or heard about this?

Beyond making cuts, scapes and checking for ticks time to time no.

Yes. My mom was my pediatrician and my dad was a general surgeon.
