Full Physical-No Gown

Yes I have. In the old days, it was always in underwear only. Then the medical industry decided that modesty was more important than health care and the gown was born.

A year or so ago, I went to a new doctor for a full annual physical. I don't wear underwear, ever, so I didn't on that day either. After the usual preliminaries, height, weight, vitals, urine sample, etc. the nurse left me in the exam room with a gown and instructions to strip to my shorts and put on the gown with the opening in the rear. I stripped and put the gown on as directed.

When the doctor came in, he started the typical exam from head down. As we progressed, the gown had to be moved for various parts of the exam. It got cumbersome. I suggested that we just take it off. The doctor didn't mind and I don't care. From the chest down, the exam was done completely nude.

As a skin cancer survivor, I prefer that as it affords the doctor a better ability to find the next cancer as early as possible. Modesty be damned, I want the best health care I can get.

I have never used a gown in my physicals. Although as an adult I haven't had many exams, all of them I've been in underwear. This was the standard as well when I was underaged and had physicals more often.

Most of the time I was stripped to my undies. My dermatologist used to give my a gown, but now she just uses paper sheets. My primary care physician uses paper sheet and a cape.

Years ago, gowns weren't used as much. When I was 16 (1981), I used to be in my underwear for my physicals.

I've had physicals where I was completely naked, as well as some that the nurse tossed me a gown. It frankly makes no difference to me, as long as I leave knowing all body parts are functioning as designed.

I've never had an exam wearing a gown. Mostly it's been in boxer briefs and then drop them for the genital/rectal exams. Occasionally it's been naked from the start.

I had a full physical this morning and i didnt wear a gown

Please don't leave us hanging. Give us the details of your exam.

I'm always totally dressed for exams, my doctor will put her hands under my shirt if needed and then asks me to drop my pants for the genital exam.

No gown. Stripped to the waist then naked for the genital exam.

My exams always include a paper gown and a paper sheet. I'm nude underneath.

Doctor and nurses always ask me take off clothes but they never give to me a gown. So I wear underwear till they said me to remove my briefs for the genital exam.

Hi,

These days, my exams are "strip as you go," but when I was a child, it was different. My pediatrician had two offices, one in a medical building and another at his small farm outside Chicago. The latter was closer to our house, so my mother always preferred to take me there for my annual physicals. But the office was small and the scale was in the waiting room. When a child had a physical, he or she would be stripped to underpants and socks and taken out to the scale. So, each child getting a physical was treated to being seen in underpants and socks by all the others, children, their parents, in the waiting room. I was mortified by this, for some reason. It was deeply embarrassing. What I often wonder about now is WHY it was so embarrassing to me. Was it to all children? Or was there something in my makeup or early past that made it so? I have no idea. And today, I am unfazed by such things. Anyone else have similar experiences?

My current doctor is old school. You wear underwear for the whole exam, starting with the scale. He pulls them down for the genital check and rectal exam.

I had a dermatologic check fully naked

My doctor usually gives me the option if a gown or not, but it comes off eventually...so I usually opt for just my underwear

It would be my preferred method.

Starts with "take everything off and I'll be back soon"

So that the next 20-30 minutes (on a good day) are spent completely in the nude.

Simple. Straightforward. Innocent... 😉

It was the late 1970s and I was eighteen having a pre-employment exam for a government agencies.After the usual health questions,eyes and hearing tests the doctor who I would say was in her late 50s early 60s asked me to undress down to my underpants.She handed me a plastic beaker for a urine tests which I provided in the small adjoining toilet before the main exam which include me having to drop my pants for my testicles to be felt and when lying down a hernia check.

I met my wife at work and she told me that her examination had been carried out by a male doctor in his 50s and she had to undress to her bra and pants and remove her bra for the breast exam.We didn't think much of it at the time but now I think there would be a lot less exposure at any one time.

Similar here Trebor. My pre employment exams were in the late 60's and early 70's for UK manufacturing companies in their own medical department, with the infamous 'Company Doctor'. Down to underpants routine then lower them for the Cough check. My Wife also worked for the same company and was down to her knickers in front of the male Doc with no Nurse present. It was the normal routine then. What a job!

Nope. Usually no gown, strip as you go. Besides most gowns now are paper and aren't worh a damn.

My old doctor, who has since retired, used to conduct the exam with me in just underwear. when it came time for the hernia check, she had me stand up in front of her and drop them. i would always loosen them and then let them fall to the floor around my ankles.

I see a beautiful Korean lady dermatologist for a yearly full body skin check. I am told to take off EVERYTHING, including wrist watch, rings, etc. They give me a larger paper towel to put over my front lap--that's it. She comes in (always with another female employee), has me roll on my right side, spreads my cheeks and begins her exam. She is most interested in my back and my scalp, but spreads fingers, toes as well. I usually have a couple skin tags on my scalp that she freezes.

If i am given a gown, then i take everything off and wear the gown if it is large enough or just drape it over my lap it is too small. if no gown is given, then i just stay in my shorts till i'm asked to remove them.

Yeah that is how I have it .Boxer briefs only. I am given the gown option but it makes no difference to me. It is easier for my doctor as well.

My company switched medical plans and I needed to find a new doctor, a friend recommended one and I made an appointment. The nurse called me back and took me into the doctor's office. He greeted me and asked me to sit down as he went over my health history and other forms. We also discussed my diet and lifestyle. He then stood up and said let's step across the hall to the exam room. After we walked in, he said, 'OK, if your strip down to your underwear and socks I'll be back in a minute". I stripped down as requested and within a few minutes the doctor returned. He took my pulse and BP and then said he was going to check my weight. As I stood up, he told me to remove my underwear and hop on the scale. I slipped off my boxers and stepped up on the scale, felt a little weird standing there naked except for my socks. I stepped off the scale and went to put my underwear back on but the doctor said just leave them off as he would need to check my genitals too. The rest of the exam was done completely naked (except for my socks)

I had a regular, periodic appointment with my dermatologist a few days ago. I always just get nude. It was interesting having a few biopsies done in the nude.

All of my physicals are in just underwear - my doctor prefers it that way .

I have a shoulder that we are hoping heals eventually with sever injury to the rotator cuff area and the fulcrom of the condyle. One of the dislocations was quite severe. Two friends of mine who know how to do shoulder reductions (putting the shoulder back in properly) as well as myself were not able to do the reduction. I went in to my orthopaedic surgeons office knowing he was there along with his PA. I have known these guys since 1986. The PA asked me if I wanted a gown or just help removing my sweatshirt. I opted for help removing my sweatshirt. He also helped me to remove my bra. I was actually very grateful for the help. The PA did a quick exam, grabbed a gown and wrapped it around me and took me to x-ray. The x-ray tech was considerate to keep me modestly draped as he did the x-rays. My MD and his PA kept me modestly draped as possible when they reduced and re-examined after the reduction and follow up x-rays. The PA helped me put my sweatshirt back on. As for the bra, I did not want to get home and have to try to get it off. I slipped it in my purse. No embarrassment, no humiliation. No thrill or excitement. I hurt to bad to even care. Though I have never felt embarrassed or humiliated etc around my physicians. Painful exams, painful procedures etc are never thrilling, arousing, exciting etc for me.

I do have a similar post to this in a similar thread. Both of these are seperate shoulder dislocations.

My exams required me to wear exam shorts - made of a meshy material which didn't really hide anything. Details in another post:
