Nudity in the OB/GYN examination

@The_dude_doc said

My wife and I have always been completely naked for physicals...always a gown and or drape, but no underwear left on.

If you are wearing a gown, YOU ARE NOT NAKED.

Are you naked at work under your three piece suit and tie???????

No. I didn't think so. You aren't naked at your physician's office when you are wearing a gown either.

That's why you are wearing a gown---to NOT be naked.

Thanks for clearing up the definition of naked ^^

@The_dude_doc - you gotta be pretty specific around here for certain members sometimes. I think that most members understood without having to have it spelled it out to them that you were naked under your gown or drape, since you had specifically said "no underwear."

Chances are, you are what you call "naked" under your underwear also.

Naked means you are not wearing any clothes covering your body.

Thanks again for the definition of naked ^^ 😃

Wow...I intend to be more careful from now on.

Had no idea the grammar police would come after me.

I trust the producers of the tv series “Naked and Afraid” understand the rules.

@The dude doc:

He looks at, palpated and probes virtually every are of each of us, as clinically appropriate.

Unless I am not with my wife when she goes...because then the good doctor seems to find reasons to palpate/probe all areas of her that are appropriate and also possibly those that are beyond...taking liberties, so to speak, like a long rectal when she is not symptomatic...and other procedures that seldom occur when I am there.

Are you serious? The doctor performs the exam differently when you're not there than when you are?

Even if your wife doesn't mind that, doesn't it bother you, or her that he seems to be 'taking liberties' for his own gratification?

While I have asked my wife if she was ever required to be completely undressed for any of her exams, she reported that she has always been given “something” to cover the parts that are not being examined. I would prefer her to be completely without covering throughout the exam. I want her to have a complete exam and the male doc to see what a beautiful woman he is probing. She reports that she wears a paper vest open in the back which is lifted for inspection and palpating of the breasts. She is given a paper drape to pull over her knees and cover her pubic area. This is lowered for the abdominal exam and pushed back as she is asked to scoot her buttocks down and place her feet in the stirrups. She usually retains her socks as the stirrups are often cold and uncomfortable.

I have never been completly naked at a gyn exam. I was either wearing a gown or just removed my pants/undies for the gyn exam. I would definitily find it strange to be complely naked

Ever since we were married we have always tried to attend each others physical. At the GP she only had to take her knickers off i saw nothing, but at hospital when she had a few problems "down stairs" she was naked which came as a surprise and a pleasure. I never knew a doctor could do such things to a woman, but I am please they did.

Seems that whenever one speaks of "a gown", the most common these days is a "paper" one. Gone are the days of cloth gowns.. in the US at least.

Having said that, sometimes it’s better to take your time with a patient. Allowing them time to get accustomed with varying degrees of undress and exposure. Usually the patient will enjoy the experience much more if they feel comfortable. The more invasive parts of the examination may be much easier if the patient is relaxed

Different regions, different approaches...

In North America, it is standard to have the patient wearing a gown, and exposing the areas to be examined one at a time. This is for both modesty and comfort (some clinics are cold!)

Telling from other posts in this thread, it sounds like in certain countries in Europe the approach might be different.

For play exams, I like to start with gown, bra, and panties. A rectal temp is early in the exam, so I will have her turn on her side or on her stomach, and I or the patient will slip the panties down a bit to do the temp. Then, I will slide them back up. A bit later, for the breast exam, the patient will start off sitting. She then drops the gown to her waist, and I will unsnap and remove her bra. I start a breast exam with her sitting and hands behind her head. I then have her lay down, with her arms away from her sides and do another breast palpation. After a heart exam, I slip her gown up to cover her chest and bring the lower part of the gown up to expose the abdomen. After I listen to and palpate the abdomen, I will have her remove her panties for another temp check and to proceed with the gyn exam.

I stay undressed under a gown for all exams. The parts get exposed as the exam proceeds.

Here in Germany normally just take top and shirt off for the breast exam and change into bottomless

my Playdoc does urban bit different but hey, fun has to be

Before the gyno, my gf never had to undress at the doctor. During her first gyno exam, she had to remove all of her clothes, and he doesn't use a gown. That is the way all of her gyno exams have been.

We read some books that said that draping is an American phenomena and most of the world doesn't waste time trying to protect modesty. And an exam is obviously better if the doctor can see everything. A book called the complete physical--i believe--says that the doctor needs to see the patient fully nude at some point to make sure nothing is overlooked.

And my wife is super environmental and hates the idea of throwing away a one-use paper gown, so she decided she would go without a gown or drape for her next exam. I called the local offices and found a doctor who had only been in town one year and he said it would be much easier for him without the drape so he didn't mind that at all. Most of the Doctor offices i talked to insisted that a drape be used.

So we made an appointment with this new doctor. Now the waste of resources and trading modesty for a really thorough exam were definitely issues for my wife, but she knew the real issue was that i wanted to see this exam.

When I met up with her at the doctors i was surprised to see that she had worn a really short skirt and thigh highs. The doctor introduced himself and talked for a while and then he took her blood pressure and got her height and weight.

Then he said, “I will step out while you take everything off and then we can get started. Open the door a crack when you are ready.”

when he left she just sat on the exam table and didn't move. i asked what was wrong and she said she was scared to be completely nude for the whole exam, and the doctor had not put a gown out because i already told him that we didn't want one.

I told her i could get a gown out of the exam table drawer, but she didn't think that was appropriate. I said i could go get the doctor and tell him you want a gown. she didnt like that idea because she said he would think she was being a baby after asking for this.

So slowly she took all her clothes off.

When she was done she sat on the end of the exam table and put her heels on the edge and pulled her legs and knees up against her chest with her arms wrapped around her legs. I have seen her do this when she is scared. Once at a Rolfer she had to get topless and did the same thing until the Rolfer came in.

I'm sure she thinks this covers her private areas, but from the front it puts her beautiful vaginal lips on perfect display. I opened the door for the doc and sat down to enjoy the amazing view.

The doctor was clearly delighted with the view that greeted him as he came into the room. Even if he looks at naked women all day, my wife at 20 completely naked was an amazing delight.

he started doing a skin cancer exam. he held each arm out and lifted her legs with his hand as he bent close and looked her all over. it was amazing.

He pushed her breasts up to look under them, although her 32B's stood out like tiny Cadillac bumper bullets, so touching them was totally unnecessary, but super sexy.

He spread her toes and looked between them while holding her leg straight out. He rolled her legs to the side to check her inner thighs, and then he asked her to stand to examine the backs of her legs and her bottom. she stood in front of him and he ran his hand down the backs of her legs. He touched everywhere he was examining. That was really hot.

Then he asked her to bend over and he spread her bottom cheeks and looked close. He said he needed to spread them again to see a mole better and he replaced his hands and pushed her bottom cheeks apart again.

Finally he was satisfied and told her she could sit back down.

The whole exam was so amazing! Her breasts heaved as he was behind her listening to her lungs asking her to take deep breaths.

It was honestly amazing. Her skin was all red and blotchy from embarrassment. and her face and chest were glowing beet red. I loved it

It was better than any fake video i have ever seen.

But she would never go back to him.

When I went to my OBGYN I only had to take off my thong and skirt. Couldn't imagine the humiliation if fully naked..

I've never been completely naked for any exam. I still enjoy reading about those who have been.

I had an appointment the other day. I take off my shoes, pants, and underwear, and have a drape over my lap. The drape only keeps me from really processing the fact I am without pants. I couldn't see anything but my torso if I wanted to, since the crotch points away. The drape does not hinder the doctor, she lifts it up so again it's just over my lap, and she has a nice bright light to use.

I'm not sure what a gynecologist would need to see my entire body for. What could they miss? No one ever says what would be overlooked if every doctor doesn't see every inch of you at every single moment. Everything they need is below my waist. They're not going to check my spine or stomach. And almost no one but a dermatologist would gain anything from seeing every inch of skin.

I think the old timers keep forgetting that specialists have taken over, and more specifically, specialists that you go to specifically with your issues. I could be poked and prodded in every inch of me and a general practitioner could miss a ton of issues that aren't visible at a glance, and they certainly wouldn't know it hurts to do x y or z if I don't tell them!
