Men: Did you wear underpants at Pediatric exam?

I have posted in other sections. For various reasons I had to undergo an annual school medical every single year between 1960 and 1970 ( aged 7 -17). Every year it was the same. Initially strip down to vest / underpants. Towards the ebd of the exam, every time, every doctor would instruct me to remove my underpants. I was always naked by the end of every single school physical examination.

They were off all the way. This was primarily because when you are laying down them standing up, you cant really have the underwear around your legs. Also, it just made it eiaser to be naked for a period of time and not have to worry about the underwear.

I did wear them, but during the exam I had to be nude. Not even socks.

Interesting to hear of a gown at pediatrician's. I never even saw a gown until I was 17.

My earliest physicals I remember were school physicals, where it was different each time how undressed I was asked to be. Once was completely naked, once was everything off except socks, and another time was just briefs. When they had me leave my briefs on, the doctor just slid her hand into them while I was laying on the exam table. I never really removed them.

In later exams at our family doctor, if I was allowed to keep my briefs on, then the doctor would have me bring them down to mid-thigh. Many times, though, I was just told to take off everything at the beginning of the exam.

I had to take mine off too. Hated stepping out of them as then I knew I was nude. Worse if I stumbled.

Every exam I had from pre teen through my teens, I only had to pull my pants down when needed, never completely off.

I was always stripped down to underwear and then the doctor removed them for the genital exam.

Usually, I’m asked to strip down and remained in my underwear for the entire physical. All of my exams, at first my doctor would just pull the down my waistband use his other hand to palpate my penis and testicles. Beginning at 13, I also had my genitals checked while standing up. My pediatrician would tell me to stand and then pull them down an let them fall to the floor. Predominantly, my doctors would ask me to pull them down usually to my knees

I was always told to undress to my underwear and the doctor would have me stand and tell me to lower them and step out of my underwear for the genital, hernia and a quick look at my rear.

I had one doctor that took them down for me when I stood up. I wish all of them did that.

I would be naked the whole exam starting with the nurse so I no I didn't wear underpants

Just pulled them down for me

The doctor never saw my underwear, I was naked before he ever came in the exam room.

I saw three different pediatricians at the practice I went to, and I don't think I had the same "underwear down" experience twice (and I went for a checkup every year). The doctor would have me either laying flat on the table or standing. Usually he'd just pull my underwear down himself to about my knees. Sometimes he'd just pull the waistband "out" away from my body to look and feel inside without completely exposing me. And just once, with me standing, he asked me to pull them down myself -- I tugged them down to my knees, and then they fell all the way to the floor!

The variation makes me wonder why a doctor chooses each technique and why he'd decide to change it. There didn't seem to be a correlation to my age, and even each individual doctor didn't necessarily do it the same way every time I saw him. If I had a pediatrician friend, it would be interesting to ask his or her perspective on the subject.

When I went to the specialist at a very young age, I waited in my underwear, no gown then I had to take them completely off when doctor examined my legs, back, and hips. As a teen, my family doctor, I waited with shirt off. When the genital exam happened he pulled my pants and underwear down to my ankles. When done he just said "pull em up"

Until I was a teen, my pediatrician had me lying down and pulled my underwear down a bit herself. Then when I was a teen, my new pediatrician had me stand up and pull my underwear just below my genitals and then do the exam. That's when I really started to get erect during exams.

I never had to strip to my briefs until I changed pediatricians at age 11. The first two years he examined me, at 11 and 12, the doctor pulled down the front of the briefs to do inspection and examination of the penis and testicles. At age 13 and every year until I went away to college, he had me stand at the side of the table and instructed me to lower my briefs for the examination of the penis and balls and added the hernia. I never got erect, but, instead, shriveled up with anxiety.
