State of undress when you were younger at your pediatrician examinations.

When I was a boy my mother would take me each August to the Pediatrician for a physical exam. His nurse would take my mother and I into the doctors exam room, he only had one, and tell me to take off everything but my underwear. So I would be sitting on the exam table in my underwear until the doc came in and did the exam. As I remember it was all in my underwear. The only time I remember taking my underwear down for the Pediatrician was when I was sick and he was giving me a penicillin shot in the butt, and I got a lot of those. I may have to take my underwear down for gentile exam, but I don't remember it. I remember the nurse was always present but I don't remember what she did. The doctor always gave me the shots himself.

No matter why i went to the pediatrician -- if i was sick or for just for an "annual check up".. i always had to strip to my underwear. The nurse would take us back (my mom and I till i was about 12 or 13) and would always tell me to take eveyrthing off, except my underwear.. When i was younger, i would strip first then she would come back in and take my temperature rectally. As older, she would get my vitals then tell me to strip to my underwear and "the doctor will be in shortly"

when i was younger... probably up till 10 or 11 i think -- shots were always in the butt too. the pediatrician did it himself. Roll onto tummy -- just like getting temp taken -- he would tug my breifs down to give me the shot

At my pediatrician I always had to strip down to my tighty whities no matter what I was there for. Sinus infection, sprained ankle, flu, always strip down to my tighty whities.

If I was there for a physical exam I would start in my tighty whities and then end up naked.

Everything off to my panties. Then when older was handed a gown.

Always nude from the start until going away to college.

Until I was in my 20’s, I was always given an examination in just my tight-whities. When I first went to my current doctor, I was just in my briefs as well, but they now make me wear a gown ?.

I may have replied about this subject on a similar thread, but since it came up again I thought I’d post. Growing up thru my teen years at my pediatrician, if I went for a physical, Id be called in and the first thing the nurse would do, is hand me a cup, point towards the bathroom, and have me give a urine sample. Once that was done, she’d take me to a room, and she’d tell me to undress to my underpants. There was never any variation, if you were getting a physical your clothes came off. No exceptions it seemed. As to Nicks original post that started this thread, he wondered what it was like for girls as well. I had two younger sisters, and yes they too had to undress to their underpants as well. As we got older I remember them complaining about that fact.

I don't know if it was just the rapport my old GP had with my parents or what, but I spent a lot of time with him just moving aside whatever clothing got in the way. He would move the stethoscope about as needed, and I'd lift up my shirt for that a lot of the time. I guess I was more focused on inevitably "getting down to business" at the end, and that entailed me lying on my tummy, with my pants and panties slid down for whatever shot was coming.

Was always instructed by the nurse to remove everything but my briefs/underpants, before any part of the exam began. Always was nude by the end.

My pediatrician, who I went to until left for college, would always have me stripped to my underwear (tighty whities) for every exam. The nurse would tell me to strip and stay in the exam room while I undressed after taking my vitals would leave the room. Normally, the instructions went like strip & socks too, everything off but your underpants. No matter the visit - flu, injury or physical I always had to undress. My underwear stayed on for the a least half of exam. Sometimes while still laying on my back or stand up he’d pulled down my briefs for the genital and hernia exams.

For me it was undies only until 12-13 years old, then bra and undies through my mid-teens when breast exams came into play.

I don't remember my earliest pediatric exams obviously. From the time that I was old enough to remember them until I went off to college, I was always in my underpants only even if I was sick. It didn't matter at the military base clinics where our parents took my brothers and me why we were there. The routine was the same. The nurse would tell whichever parent took us that we needed to be undressed to our underpants before the doctor got there. I have told the story before of the large medical bay at one of these clinics that had several exam tables in it where we went if we needed a physical or whatever. All boys of every age were together in the same large room getting examined or treated. There were individual exam rooms that had along the sides of this medical bay but I might have been in one of those only once or twice when I was a kid. We didn't go to the base clinic very often. We had to be really sick or needed a physical. Once I started junior high, I had maybe one or two physical exams at a base clinic since I had a sports physical every year at school. If we had the measles or chickenpox or flu, we didn't go to the doctor because those were contagious and the clinics didn't want everyone else catching what one patient had. My older brother got the flu and our Mom took him to the clinic only to be told that he had the flu and that he needed to be at home and in bed and not at the clinic. Since we shared a bedroom with him, my younger brother and I got the flu too so all three of us were in bed for several days.

Always down to underwear no matter what I was there for. Naked for physicals.

At my ped, i had always to Strip nude at Start.

It seems that mine was very much like many of yours for a physical or just a well visit. No matter the occasion, the nurse would take me to the room and have me "undress to your underpants," and wait to make sure I complied. Once that was achieved, she would weigh me and take my bp and temperature. For sure, I felt nervous waiting for the doctor to make his entrance. The exam proceeded quickly with a few questions and general conversation before he started with to examine me. Once it came time to lay back, it was then that he would lift the waist band of my briefs and remove them. The slow pull down past my thighs and knees and off while then handing my briefs to his nurse. From there, he felt my belly and examined my genitals and also had me turn over to visually inspect my anus. Once that was done, I stood up facing him, hands on hips, and got a hernia exam blushing for sure. All of this seemed like forever but more so due to my nervousness and fear of what would follow, namely, a shot.

I had to pull my trousers and boxers all the way down in front of the male Doctor. He examined my penis, peeling my foreskin back. I wish he’d been more thorough with me

I was always naked

When I got into the exam room, the nurse would tell me to take off all of my clothes except for my underwear. When it came to the genital exam, the doctor would tell me to raise my hips and he would slide my underwear down and off. He would hand it back to me once the genital exam was done and I would put it back on then.

Every time I was asked to strip as a kid it was usually on admission and they searched me so yeah he was bare-assed and they even took my underwear. How to get into scrubs and white T-shirt underwear and socks.

I was always naked

@Beim_Arzt_2001 were you embarrassed to be naked for the whole time? Also what did the doctor say to prompt you to take off your clothes?

From age 11 onwards I was told to undress down to my panties and socks and given a gown to put on.

I don’t think I ever went to pediatrician. Grew up in rural area and went to a family dr. I was never completely naked at the appt. I remember the it was two rooms connected where he did exam. He would check all the normal stuff eyes, ears and so on in the front room. Then he would take me in second room away from mom and he would have me drop my pants and check for a hernia. Any shots that were given were done in the first room by his nurse.

Down to underwear, but no one complained when I started wearing undershirts and bras.

I was undressed totally with out a gown. The nurse would take me into the exam room close both doors and tell me that she will get me ready for the doctor. Every thing came off and I was standing in front of her naked ! Especially when the doctor surprised us and walked in to the exam room !! He would pick me up and place my nude body flat on the exam table, of couse with legs spread !!

Just underwear. No gown.

For me, It varied, because when I was really young, I remember being stripped to my underwear and socks. Then, when I was around 15-16 years old, I was still stripped to my underwear, but I also had to take my socks off as well, and that’s what it was like up until I left the practice at 19. I remember the nurse saying “take everything off except your underwear. Socks off too. Would you like a gown?” I was very rarely given a gown or offered one, but I always wore it if offered. Initially, I declined the gown, but the nurse persuaded me by saying, “Are you sure you don’t want the gown? Otherwise, you’ll be in your underwear.” As my mom was still in the room with me, I took the gown. I asked my mom to leave when my exam started.

“take everything off except your underwear. Socks off too.

Just out of curiosity: did the doctor ever examine your feet? One would think that to be the rationale for insisting on removal of socks. Unless it was just to make you feel cold ,,,

@agracier, yes my feet were examined, pulses were checked, and my gait was observed. That all started when I was 15/16 years old, and lasted up until I left the practice.

...seeing a pediatrician. I remember going for my appointment and had me strip down to my tighty-whities. Then be taken out into the hallway to get the height and weight measurements..then the doctor would do his thing.

From the time I was 6 onward this is what I recall and would have been mid 70s to 80s. No gown during exam, no gloves when he took my white briefs to my knees after telling me to "lie back and relax", One beefy hand around my penis, one around my scrotum and squeeze twice then switch hands and repeat. Lift my legs, bend knees slightly, spread my bottom and look, lightly slap / spank the bottom and pull up my briefs. Always the same except at the exam when I was 16 and he just lightly tapped each testicle.

I think nurse realized I had gotten erect at one point and told him so...don't know if thats why he did things different. Kind of doubt it I always viewed him as a perv.

Undressing started at age 15 or so when the nurse would say let’s get you prepped for the doctor, everything needs to come off but your underwear and you can have a seat on the exam table for me. I wore briefs when I was younger but eventually switched to boxers as they’re more comfortable. Was always awkward waiting there in just my underwear
