Undressing at exam

Turtlehouse, that always has been one of my pet peeves, if I have to be on time for a doctors visit why can't he? I hate having to sit and wait and wait and wait. Yes yeast infections happen. I have found that taking Acidophilus capsules helps prevent yest infections. I have always treated yeast infections with Monostat with good results.

My dodcotrs has me strip to nothing and then put on a paper gown

It happened three years ago. My GP sent me to EKG. I undressed there to my boxers, but the nurse insisted I had to redress my trousers. It was in winter and she stained my trouser-legs with the jelly. When the exam was over and I went out the building, the cold jelly on the trouser-legs was very unpleasant.

Since then, if I have to undergo an EKG or USG exam, I always undress to my boxers regardless of nurse’s protests :-)

I usually strip to undies and put a gown on

Ussauly down to my underwear, but there where a few times as a teen i had to get completely naked. it was a very akward experiance.

The level of undressing mostly depends on the doctor’s decision. Sometimes the patient may be ordered to undress insufficiently. Of course, that examination then cannot have any sense.

E.g. my wife was shocked when she visited a rheumatologist with her swollen ankle and the doctor examined her through the shoe!

For my colonoscopy I was instructed to take off everything and put on a gown. For my physicals I am naked from the waist down during the rectal and genital exams

For my last exam (50 year old male) I took everything off except socks and wore a gown with the opening in back. After the DRE, I was told to switch the gown so it opened in the front for the EKG.

For my colonoscopy I stripped from the waist down, except socks again. I left my shirt on. Gown opened in back (of course!).

A female friend nearly 40 years ago at 17 years old went to her GP with a back problem. She hadn't thought about him examining her. He asked her to slip her dress off so he could do a quick check which she did but she was very embarrassed as she was wearing french knickers and stockings and suspenders. She never made the mistake again ( unless she wanted to).

For annual exam, I was totally undressed and covered in a paper sheet. For the colonoscopy, I wore a surgical gown.

I have been asked to dress in the paper gown most of the time. I have also been asked to be fully clothed and they start the exam and have me peal off each piece of clothing. By the end of the exam i am usually bent over with a finger in my butt completely naked.

My last two doctors didn't make me remove any clothing at all. I have an exam scheduled next month with a new doctor, so I am wondering if anything will be different with this doctor.

Generally they tell me to take off everything and wear a gown which the doctor takes off pretty quickly

My wife had a exam once when she was having lower pelvic pain, we went straight to the gyn's office from her work, I went into the exam room with her, The nurse told my wife to just wait for the doc, when he came in to the room, he had her ciimbup on the exam table and birng her feet up onto the end. her dress bunched up around her upper legs, and he proceeded ot feel her lower abdomen and pelvis, I could see he was getting a nice vies and he told her to part her legs a litttle so he could feel lower into her plevis, finally he said for her to take off her nylons and panties, while he got out the stirrups. These stirrups where the high knind that where alomsot to his shoulders, so when she got back onthe table he had her lie back and he took each foot adn placed them inthe stirrups, and her knees where way back almost in line with here shoulders her dress was way up on her waist adn he proceede to shove his fingers in her for a lon time and hse would let out little nosise while he was moving his hand in and out

I only have physicals that are required for employment or insurance which means every physical is with a different doctor. Almost all have had me strip to underwear (tighty whities) for the entire experience until genital/hernia/rectal exams. For those, I have had to slip down the tighty whities to expose the necessary parts.

Usually down to briefs, but of late removing less and less.

I always undressed to my under wear, just pulled them down for digital exam.

For work screenings its normally strip to briefs with a dressing gown if you have to move round the building. at my GP you only remove whats needed for them to examine you

Yes I've been sitting in my underwear when the doctor left the door open for a few minutes. He was doing the full exam (feeling my chest/abdomen) when other people were walking by. Very odd feeling, but I was not nude. As soon as he removed my underwear, he went and closed the door. I'm almost wondering whether he did it on purpose! I've also had to walk to the scale outside of the room in nothing but my underwear. Too bad nobody else was out there!

In the US I'm typically given a paper or cloth gown and asked to remove all articles of clothing underneath. I spent a few years living in Europe and was always made to strip completely. Nothing more intimidating than sitting on the exam table in the nude waiting to meet your new doctor.

My pediatrician I went to till I was 20 (I'm 28 now) always had me and my sisters strip down to our underwear, no gown. he would pull our underwear down, examine our genitals, and have us roll over for a rectal exam. That was such a turn on. I hope to hear others talk about anal exams at young ages and what we do now to recreate them.

I have never had to strip completely naked although I have been many times afraid of it during my physicals. Perhaps afraid is not the right word. I have been more or less excited if I should undress everything off. During my physicals I have always been in my underpants although I have been asked to lower them down a little bit for a genital exam.

I always get the paper gown and when the doctor comes in Im alredy dressed with it

More often than not, I would be asked to be fully clothed, and then it would be shifted or removed when necessary.

I have always undressed to my boxers for an exam. I've never had to wear a gown. I have friends who had to undress completely during the entire exam, no gown or anything. One of my friends even had his mom in the exam room with him while he was totally naked for the entire exam. I would be mortified if my mom was staring at my junk for a half and hour.

I remember once when I went for a massage at the age of 19 a male massage guy at the spa was very strict about undressing saying "undress down to your underwear only. Leave your underwear ON!" Was very demanding...

as for the doctor... I have had exams where they have had me just remove my shirt and shoes, and undress the rest of the way as the exam went along...

another time I had a doctor who had me undress to my underwear.

The doctor I have now who is very detailed always says to undress completly and wear a gown.

My doctor would always undress me as she went along at my yearly physical. When it came time to look at my penis and sack she would just pull my pants/briefs down to my ankles. Sometimes it would be difficult while lying on the table.

To mr.pro04:

what was your age and that of your friend who had his mon present in the exam room while he was naked for all the time of the exam? I can understand that if it was you you would have been mortified if you were already already a teenager. and your friend was not mortified?

what was the gender of the doctor? he or she would have asked the mother to leave the room or at least not require the complete nudity since the start of the exam!

The only time I was completely naked at an exam was when I was a about 6. Thereafter, it was usually down to my briefs until the genital exam.

My last doctor in another city actually used a paper drape rather than a full paper gown. This was the only doctor in the USA I have ever had that did that. The doctor that I go to now utilizes the gowns.

I always strip completely nude though and do not leave on underwear for the exam at all.
