Totally naked

Could anyone please enlighten me in detail with their experiences. Is there actually any time or specific gyno procedure or physical check up that the woman has to be naked? I am interested in your stories.

Naked?? as in totally naked where you aren't wearing or covered by anything in a REAL medical situation?

If that's what you mean, there aren't any with the possible exception of childbirth if the mother is extremely overheated.

If you get a paper gown instead of a regular one, there is no difference, they are all size XXXXXL and fall open and tear when you move. So I guess I have felt naked even though I wasn't.

There's a distinction to be drawn between being requested/told to take all one's clothes off and it being clinically necessary. The fact is, there are no situations in which it is clinically necessary in the sense that the whole of the naked body is fully exposed to the examiner at any one time, so no one has to be naked. There are plenty of stories on this and other forums of people being examined naked (in the sense I describe) and, as ever, one has to take a view on which are to be believed.

It certainly happens (it has to me - and I usually believe me) and will only have done so for two reasons that I can think of: at the behest of the examiner or the wish of the person being examined. An obvious example of the former that springs to my mind (as I know it will to many of my generation) is school medical examinations: in those days, the convenience of those carrying out the procedure took far greater priority over any consideration of modesty for the examinees.

As to the latter situation, there are some people who say they prefer to dispense with gowns and the like. If that is what they wish then that of course is up to them, though I think it should be said that some examiners probably would go along with that simply to be accommodating and may prefer the patient 'gowned'.

I must say, though I can understand why anyone would 'feel naked' under a gown, I do find it irritating to read something like "I was lying there naked and the doctor lifted up my gown......." (sorry about the cliffhanger) and if it's pointed out that they actually were not lying there naked, the riposte is something like "I was naked under the gown." Well by the same token, since we are all naked under any form of clothing, we could all say "I walked naked into the doctor's waiting room...." That would potentially save a bit of time.

Hmm. Must admit I,ve done that myself because at my first exam I was "nake"d with just a sheet covering my bottom half while he examined my top half and vice versa but perhaps you are right that that isn't really naked! I think I read somewhere french girls do actually have to get fully naked in front of the doctor though, without a gown or anything. Anyone french care to chip in?

Yes, I can certainly imagine that being naked under a sheet is perhaps likely to give some people an even more exposed feeling than the gown. To be fair to you, Chrissie, you did make it clear in your story that a sheet was used, and how it was used (as many others do) which made yours a perfectly valid account - but it wasn't that type of story I had in mind.

For the sake of brevity at the time, the example I gave was a bit simplistic and not the best way of making my point: which would be to say that some people have written stories making reference to being naked and it's only almost 'reading between the lines' that it can eventually dawn on you that they were covered in some way. I've also seen 'one line' answers to the "What do you wear for your check-ups?" type questions posted as: "I am always naked." The same people will then say elsewhere something like: "My doctor always has me naked under a gown." which obviously makes the first answer somewhat misleading.

I have read on this forum accounts of examinations done in France with the patients naked (as in minus gown/sheet), and the assertion that this is routine in that country. I can't recall any threads these accounts were on, but the one I can call to mind struck me as being, to say the least, far-fetched: this is not because of the alleged nudity of the patient, but one of those where I ended up thinking that if it was true someone should be struck off the medical register!

I suppose the definitive description is "naked in front of".

With regard to not wearing any clothing under a gown, keep in mind you are naked under your street clothes--which is obviously not what you are wearing while being examined. Only areas being examined are exposed.

So, again, there are no gynecological procedures where you are NAKED in front of the doctor.

A long time ago I saw a UK documentary about infertility and the female patient appeared to be lying totally naked under a crocheted blue blanket while waiting for her first examination by the doctor.Smith

Well it's my opinion that female patients should be examined at her first appointment with a new gynecologist totally naked at least at the beginning of the exam.

If the patient is young and it is her first exam the Doctor may want to check her state of development.

looking for physical signs of Polycistic Ovaries Syndrom like abnormal hair growth (specifically on the face, lower abdomen, back and chest), acne,and other signs like darkened thick skin on the neck, thighs, armpits or vulva is the second major reason for why I consider that a totally naked check should be included.

I do believe that this kind of approach was include in some older gynecology manuals but with the advent of too much protection of patients modesty it's not being done anymore or very rarely

Dd, it's one thing to advocate a thorough examination that may well involve the examiner having eventually seen the whole of a patient's body, piece at a time, in a bare state, but quite another to suggest that such an examination can only be accomplished with the patient having their entire body exposed to him or her all at once.

Each area can be exposed and re-covered as required: this happens all the time everywhere - but France we are not so sure about yet 😉 .

Seems to me it would be degrading for a woman to be examined naked by a man or woman doctor. Same goes for a male patient being examined naked, so I don't see any respectable doctor or nurse making that demand.

BTW, a few year ago I was told to take off my underwear and put on a gown. I knew I was going down the hall for an x-ray so I kept my underwear on. I could see the nurse was a smartass (and wanted to see my ass) so I told the doctor about it.

What goes on between two consenting adults behind closed doors is another thing.....

Nancy,

We are all happy to help new members but if you want information about actual first gynecological exams, I strongly recommend that you enter "pelvic exam" into an internet search engine and see what it brings up. This site is really more geared to fetish play and fantasy exams and is not an appropriate place to seek actual medical advice.

Better yet, when you go to the doctor, ask him or her to explain everything to you beforehand so that you know exactly what to expect and you can ask any questions you might have.

I was in britain on holiday with a pen pal and i started felling unwell so she took me to her doc. her doc was not able to get hold of my state side doc so she said she would have to give me a complete exam (ic breast, & gyno). as i undressed i asked for a gown and she said they did not bother and in the end she examined me naked. i had my friend with me for support and she did not know where to look.

Sounds like we got lucky wit our gp. I am in uk and not had to be fully naked. undressed to knickers but before they came off i put bra back on and i am in uk. guess it is down to each doctor how much modesty to extend to patient where as in usa i get impression its like written polciy always give gown protect modesty at all times?

Hello everyone, i am gonna get my gyno soon.bit embarased.can anyone explain what will happen, how i should get prepared for the exam.Is it mandatory to be nude for the exam.

is it mandatory to be naked for gyno exams ?

No, it is not mandatory to be naked for an exam, at least not in the US or UK, or Canada. Probably not in India either. When your top half is being examined, your lower torso will be draped, and vice versa.

My doc in real life is awesome. She provides awesome robes instead of paper gowns or the flimsy cotton ones. Top it off, the stirups are covered too. So no, not totally naked at all.

As the women posting here have said, only the areas being examined are exposed.

Asking about being fully exposed and "naked" in front of a REAL doctor for a REAL gynecological procedure is purely the fantasy of a couple of uninformed men who want to hear what we might say.

Lol this is so untrue its hilarious. Breast exams arent dont by GP's until you're over 50 or specific problem has arised. Gyn exams are only done if the problem is in that area. and you will NEVER be naked, as they aren't allowed to ask that of a . In the UK if you're wearing a skirt its done with that kept on, if not trousers off and a towel/blanket is put over your lap.

I would be careful not to use the word "NEVER"--especially in all caps! It is possible that the original poster was fantasizing, as you seem to believe, but it is also possible that she stumbled upon a very rare exception to the rule of your experience and knowledge. Sometimes people do have experiences with doctors in which the doctors stray pretty far from what is conventional in the place where they practice.

I feel totally reassured by the comments made about me knowing that i am surrounded by so many experts. the fact that a few people here are aware of the procedures of every dr and medical room in the world in totally remarkable. and as for the profiling wow - a room full of psychiatrists. funny that no one has contacted me though, just left messages here. like being at school again

Seriously, they ARE going to see your breasts and vagina. I mean, that IS why you go to a gynecologist.

They will keep whatever they aren't actively looking at covered.

It is customary in America to have a gown on during your exam. I think modesty also is a key factor in addition to a patient's comfort with her Doctor

While I try very hard not to generalize by using terms such as ALL, NEVER etc, especially concerning medical professionals, there are just some things that I know are "usually" true.

I am not shrink, but I play one on TV, I am however a nurse, and play one in real life everyday. Myself and the other medical professionals here will tell you pretty much strait up what is realistic and what is not. We, more so than most can sort out the bull crap from the truth and are not afraid to make that point clear.

Due to the "event" that happened last year, I have become quite knowledgeable on medical law, medical boundaries, and other such topics. I grew up in a house with a lawyer, and by law, in order for me to keep my license, I have to take continuing education classes dealing with medical law.

Does that make me an expert? Nope, absolutely not. But my medical opinion is that,....I'm guessing that any doctor that made patients get totally naked, crossed boundary lines, was medically/sexually inappropriate with patients etc., probably wouldn't be in practice very long. Just a guess there.

I can also tell you that before the "event" happened, my doctor then, who was also my boyfriend then and still is for that matter would give me my physicals, examine me for whatever I needed, and even though he was my boyfriend, meaning that yes, we were sleeping together, he NEVER, not one time, EVER, had me completely naked on his exam table.

So while I won't say a patient won't EVER be totally naked, I will say.......probably not real likely. Just sayin !

Anticipation and nerves are part of the arousal. I would prefer a true gown and having different parts exposed slowly as needed. Seems more erotic than going all out. I am going to my "real" gyno tomorrow to be fully prepared for play. I go to a teaching college and always feel like I can't say the right thing when they ask if students can observe! I think I am on sensory overload but wanting to keep it all safe. Feeling scared, don't want to be either bored or overly aroused.

I know at least 3 cases of 3 different female gynecologists that have their patients get totally naked. One did use to conducted complete exams including general exam with not even a drape. The other 2 had the patients totally naked and used a small sheet to cover legs during breast exams and chest during the gynecological part. These is based on true testimonies of real relations I had!

My friend M got taken to the drs by her mum for have unprotected sex and the doctor examined her nude as he said he did not have any fresh gowns. This was uk about 15 years ago.

Going back to the French as discussed above, I have done a bit more digging using my very rudimentary French. If you look at sites like aufeminin.com there are lots of French ladies discussing gyno exams. It does appear that while not universal it is certainly pretty common for them to be examined totally nude without a gown or drape or anything else. There was one interesting post where a young woman was complaining about the way the male gynaecologist had told her to undress "mettez vous toutes nue" which I think roughly means "get yourself totally nude". The interesting thing was that it was the way he asked her which annoyed her, not the fact he asked her at all!

A simple 's'il vous plait' would have gone a long way to addressing the politeness factor here. I don't think you should see more into this than that ...

Other than on certain medfet sites, I am not aware of any case wherein a patient is actually totally naked, at least not here in the US. I'm not familiar with international exam protocol, but I suppose it's possible.
