How are you asked to undress?

Since I have been going to the same family practice doctor for several years, I know the process so a discussion of clothes removal does not come up. I am in my shorts until the genital and prostrate exams when I slip my shorts off. A few years back, I went to a dermatologist for the first time to have a suspicious mole checked. After the nurse did my initial consultation, she explained the doctor would be doing a complete skin check and I needed to get fully nude. One thing I appreciated was that the exam room was kept quite warm so patients did not get cold while naked. This exam was also the first where the nurse was present as well as the doctor as she helped the doctor use the camera to record a record of my skin conditions.

"Take every bit of clothing off including bra and panties and jewelry". I'm then ordered strictly to get on to the scale for a very accurate height and weight along with measurements with a tape measure.

I wasn't today. I'm sitting in the exam room waiting. Clit throbbing. Panties wet. It's a follow up for high blood pressure, and I'm squirming in my chair.

After taking my vitals and weight the nurse will open a cabinet grab a gown and hand it to me saying "Ok, go ahead and take everything off including your underwear and put this gown on open to the back and have a seat on the table and she'll be in shortly"

I went to the demotologist for a skin Exam and the nurse said " remove all your clothes, if your wearing underwear remove them, if your wearing socks, remove them, and if you want a sheet to cover your self they are down here" . So at this point I thought the draping was optional and being a skin exam the doctor will see it all anyway. At this point I'm sitting on the exam table completely naked when the doctor and nurse enter the room. The doctor introduces herself and extends her hand for a hand shake. I shake her hand and immediately she said "oh, didn't they give you a sheet"? Then her and the nurse moving quickly cover me in a paper sheet. That was a great exam.

I have had several variations on this since I was a kid. It started with "strip to the waist and the doctor will be in in a minute." The doctor himself then undid my belt and opened my pants for the lower abdomen exam, and then had me stand up to do the hernia check. My pants would just fall down and at first (with my mom in the room) he pulled the waistband of my underpants out and stuck his finger into my scrotum. He started pulling my underpants down himself when I was 12 to do the genital exam (big turn on for me, see other posts.)

I started seeing another male doctor as an adult, and the nurse said "you need to get undressed, and cover up with this" (a sheet.) Those couple of years were the only times I've been completely nude for the genital exam. I started seeing my current doctor a few years later and her nurse at first said "go ahead and get undressed, everything off, and here's a gown for you to put on." After a few years the doctor herself would see me first, and then say "I'll step out, go ahead and get undressed down to your undershorts" and give me a gown to wear as well. When it is time for the genital and rectal exams, she says, "just pull your undershorts down" and drapes a sheet over me, exposing me a bit at a time during the exams. Once, I began to get an erection during the genital exam and she very gently and deftly wrapped the sheet around my penis to cover it and continued with the scrotal exam.

My favorite verbiage for this, in real life and for play doctor purposes, is for the doctor or nurse to use the word "underpants", and say "let's have you get undressed, down to your underpants" or, "take off your clothes, down to your underpants."

Great story! Do you have more to tell us?

I can remember different ways I've been asked to undress at the doctor's, going back to school medical exams. There was mobile exam room which would visit our school every year, and we would go out to the parking lot, when called, for our physical. It was different each year, always a female doctor, the first year I remember she said, "You can take off everything, down to your underpants." (I wore briefs in those days.) I kept them on for the whole exam, until she checked the groin area while I was lying on the table and she pulled them down a little so she could feel underneath. Then the other time I remember, she said, "You can take off everything, except your socks." So, I was naked, except for socks, for the whole exam that time. I actually felt more exposed with the socks on than I did other times when I was totally naked.

I've also had medical exams in various countries around the world. In South Africa I was asked to undress gradually, first remove shirt, then remove trousers, then finally remove underwear. Each time just what was needed for that part of the exam. I suppose this was for modesty, but it was after I was totally naked that the nurse, and then the receptionist, came in a couple times with paperwork. So, timing didn't work out as probably intended.

In France, I was asked to undress completely at the beginning, and I remained like that until the end. No gown.

A very simple "please undress completely", the doctor leaves the room for a few minutes and then returns to begin the exam.

Is the exam done with you completely naked? Any gown?

"undress to undies"

pediatrician nurse told me that

Undress to underwear or naked as ever. Which ever works at the time

Is the exam done with you completely naked? Any gown?

He's never specifically offered me a gown, my guess is that it's for efficiency. I will say that it's a very thorough exam compared to the 10-15 minute physicals that I got from GPs when I was in my 30s.

Most of the time my nurse say "l need you to get completely undressed", the dr needs to see everything, put a gown on opening in the back.

Once a nurse said get undressed leave your underwear on, put gown on for the dr. I felt like they werent going to see all of me at that exam, so I took my underwear off too and put them down my pants leg. When the nurce and dr came in they asked why I took my underwear off, I said I wasn't wearing any, so they just continued.

Now a lot of times I do go commando

I suspect that it makes a difference if it's a practice nurse who knows what each doctor requires, at least in theory, versus your actual doctor giving you the instructions based on what he/she knows about you. The nurse pointed out the exam shorts, but my doctor knows that I keep underwear on instead because the shorts are an XL and I wear S. So the occupational doctor is fine with my ignoring the nurse's 'everything off and put a gown on.'

I was admitted to a hospital emergency room years ago. It wasn't a trauma situation where I arrived by ambulance or anything like that. I walked in and after some initial tests was admitted for observation. One of the staff in the emergency department took me to where the individual cubicles were and told me to "take everything off and put on this gown" that was lying on the hospital bed. So I did as I was told and took off everything including my underwear and socks and put on the hospital gown. Later I was transferred from the emergency room area to another department at the same hospital. I was surprised when a nurse came in later and said that she needed to do a swab of my nose and rectum for antibiotic resistant germs. She swabbed my nose first and then told me to "roll over on your side and pull down your underwear so I can swab your rectum". I rolled over and told her that I wasn't wearing any underwear. Looking back I wondered why she assumed that I would be wearing underwear since surely it was hospital policy that all patients be undressed completely and in a gown for admission.

You could be right about patients not following instructions to undress completely before putting on the gown. The real question is whether she would have insisted on the removal of my underwear if she discovered that I was wearing any or whether she would have simply done the swab of my rectum and let me keep the underwear on under the gown. I'm betting that she would have ignored the "no underwear" policy if I had been wearing any since she asked me to lower my shorts before the swab.

As I said before in another discussion I underwent a surgical procedure, when I arrived at the clinic I went along with a dressing room to a dressing room where she had me take off all the clothes, did some tests and madou I put on a dress and put a cap on Head and disposable shoes.

Last week at a new doctor for me, after the history conversation, he said, "Lets have a look" and took a sleeveless cloth gown out of a drawer and handed it to me. When he didn't offer any instructions I asked, "What should I remove" and he replied, "Everything off."

I have noticed a couple of differences, mainly with the presence of a gown. If I'm told to undress, it's normally when a gown is handy. In that case it's normally nude underneath.

If I'm told to STRIP, it's normally down to my shorts.

It's been ages since I was told to "slip your shirt off", and recently (at a FORMER doc) It was NOTHING came off.

I'm just handed a gown and told to put it on. No specific instructions re given. I usually just strip down to my shorts than put the gown on.

I read an article online years ago about young doctors not having their patients undress and trying to work around their clothes to do an exam when the patient has a problem that requires a complete view of the affected area. The examples that I remember from the article were not about physical exams but were about patients coming to the doctor with specific ailments like lower back pain or a knee issue or something that should have required the patient to be undressed or partially undressed.

Seems like one story was a construction worker who came in to see the doc about lower back pain and was still dressed in shirt, jeans and steel-toe work boots when a more experienced doctor who was supervising the younger doc arrived. The older doc saw the younger doc trying to a look at the patient's back by lifting the back of his shirt. The older doc asks the younger doc what he is doing and what is the patient's complaint.

Once the older doc hears that, he pulls the younger doc aside and tells him that he needs to start over by having the patient undress completely and put on a gown so that the doc can do a real exam of the spine, lower back and hips instead of playing peek-a-boo with the patient through his clothes. The idea was that sometimes patients need to be undressed even for some exams that aren't complete physicals.

I went for an STI check once and was told by the doctor that she would do a urethral swab. The doctor was a young woman and while she was talking to me I had still been dressed. When she left the room I wondered what she would say when she returned as I would obviously have to get undressed in some manner in order for her to do the swab.

I wondered how she would tell me to undress since she had not told me to remove anything when she left the room. That meant I was probably going to have to undress in front of her. She came back into the room with the culture tube AND her nurse. The nurse got busy with the forms and the doctor filled out something on the computer while I just stood there waiting to see what would happen next and how she would tell me to undress.

Finally she turned around and sat on a stool in front of me and her nurse stood just behind her holding the culture tube.

Then she looked at me and said, "take off you pants."

Not, 'pull down you pants or lower your pants, but 'take off your pants'. It was a bit of a surprise and I took them off and then there was an awkward moment when I wasn't sure what to do with my pants, which I eventually put on a nearby chair. I wasn't wearing any underwear so there I stood naked from the waist down in front of the two of them.

She proceeded to take my penis in her hand and slide the culture stick into me and then put it back into the tube that the nurse held for her.

All in all it was a rather interesting experience and I still think about her saying those four words.

I had a breast exam for my chest surgery last week and was asked to go behind the curtain and take "my top things" off. Actually really appreciated how that was said. The consultant is used to doing exams in trans guys and was obviously avoiding trying to make any assumptions about what I was wearing under my shirt.

Have any of your doctors or nurses who tell you to get undressed appear embarrassed to ask or fumble on how they ask it? Do we think that doctors or nurses practice giving instructions like that to patients so they don't appear embarrassed when they have to say it for real? My experience has been that most of my doctors and nurses in the past seemed to be very practiced and smooth about telling me to undress and how. But a few younger nurses have tripped over themselves trying to give instructions like that as though embarrassed to be telling me to strip completely and put on a gown or undress to my underwear only. Their look of embarrassment and the looking away while saying it has been more common than actually stuttering the words out. There was one young nurse when I was in my 20s who had a harder time telling me to undress. She and I were about the same age probably or maybe I was a little younger. Anyway, she was noticeably embarrassed to tell me to "strip to your underpants". Red face and all.

My most embarassing was an examination where a nurse started the process, especially asking to undress. She made me get to underwears, and did high weight, blood tests, blood pressure. Shortly after the doctor came him, she was an unfriendly, tall and fat lady, looked at us briefly, and rather than saying anything to me, said to the nure "make him remove his underwears as well". I felt the whole situation so humiliating.

Yes, I can think of any specific instances that I can relate (right now), but I have had this occur. You're right that an experienced nurse usually doesn't hesitate or stumble over their words. They've likely told thousands of patients to either partially or completely undress and by now they know the right words to say. I'd guess that they have maybe 5 or 6 different sets of instructions that they routinely use, depending on the type of patient and the reason for the appointment.

But I have seen younger, more inexperienced nurses stumble over their words, or sometimes just hint at what they want instead of just coming right out and saying it.

Thinking about it more, probably just hearing,"Please disrobe," "Please get undressed," or "You can go behind the screen and get undressed," are the simple phrases I love the most. And, "Take off everything," or "Everything down too your..... shorts, socks, whatever," sends tingles through me.

Had a physical today.

Nurse said "Here is a gown...put this on. Keep on undergarments. Opening goes in back."

I would personally be very appreciate of such clear directions. That way, you're preparing yourself exactly how the doctor prefers and you avoid any potential embarrassment from either disrobing too far or not enough. Just tell me how you want me draped and I'll comply happily!
