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

Beginning with the very first childhood exams I can recall, I was undressed completely upon entering the exam room, in preparation for the exam

I didn't get an exam gown until college. My pediatrician always examined me with just my panties on. When I changed to a family doctor it was panties and bra, but still no gown. In college I started getting a gown and wearing just my panties under it.

Jennifer. Thanks for sharing your experience. When was this?

It was always 'undress down to your underpants' for me, regardless of my age at the time.

Normally down to underwear. Top off for aucultation. Breifs down for anything genital related. My mother always took myself alongwith my two sisters. Same applied to them.

I'd always have to take my shirt off first thing. Then shed have me lay down on my back and pull down my pants and underwear to examine my testicles.

Every time at the pediatricians office was the same, the nurse would tell me to remove my shirt and have a seat on the table. The doctor would come in and start her exam like normal with eyes, ears, nose, throat, then listen to my chest and back with stethoscope. Then she'd have me lay down and would listen to my chest again and then belly with the stethoscope. She'd then feel around my belly. As she worked her way down she would then unfasten my belt and pants and just kind of pull them apart a bit. She'd use one hand to grab hold of my underwear waist band and lift it up slightly as she used the other hand to keep feeling her way down to just above my genitals. (I really loved / hated that part as a kid!!!) Never touched any of my goodies during a typical exam. After that the exam was over and she would have me sit up while she talked to my mom. I never knew whether to sit there with my pants unfastened and open or if I should zip up.

The only time I went to her for a sports physical the nurse told me to take off everything but my underwear and have a seat on the table. The doctor came in and everything proceeded as normal only this time she didn't stop just above my genitals, she kept feeling all the way down along each side of my junk. Shocked the hell out of me!!! Never actually touched my penis or testicles, just along the side where my scrotum meets my legs and directly above my penis. Once she was done feeling around (only a few seconds that lasted an eternity!), she pulled her hand out of my underwear and grabbed my waist band with both hands and lifted it away from me and then down. She stood there over me and just stared at all I had to offer for a few more seconds. You name the emotion and I was probably feeling it at that moment! She then lowered my underwear, told me to stand up, and then the exam was over. She turned and walked out of the room leaving me standing there with my head spinning!

" Ben Dover" : when you had your first sports physical examination performed by your usual lady pediatrician doctor, you have not said if your mother was still present in the examination room.

you have talked of her presence only for the previous exams

" ADPETXG77" : do you have the same old lady doctor for the three or four sports physicals that you had in high school

apparently you were naked for all the examination but I am surprised that you don't remember if the nurse was also present in the examination, it means that you were not really upset to be naked, which was logical because as a wrestler you might have also examinations or at least some inspections of your skin when you were attending to a wrestling competition with other high schools if you were in the school team.

you were shocked that she did not give you a gown but it seems to me that it was the most attitude of doctors, male or female, for the examination of a male teenager, it was not considered as manly to wear a gownwhen you were a boy. the gownw as you discovered it were only for girls.

I assume that it was nevertheless depending on doctors.

if you had a male doctor very "'old school" you were never given a gown , used to military methods he would have found that stupid for a boy.

on the other side it was certainly true also that some female doctors, especially one who was old did not mind a lot about the respect of the nudity shyness of a male teenager, thinking that it was not a concern.

it was obviously the case of your doctor

but fortunately for you she did not ask to your mother to acompany you in the exam room to speak with her about your health as some doctors did even for a high school student as long as he was under 18 age and if it were the case she could have come with your sister. I have read relations of examinations where the doctors mainly women did not object to the presence of the sister of a boy who was examined, more over when both of them needed an examination and the boy was the first so that he was examin,ed in front of his sister naked without a gown while he was told to leave when it was the turn of her sister who of course was given a gown.

so don't complain, it could have been worst and even if you did not agree with the double standard as regards gowns which were proposed only to girls, you can consider that you were lucky to be examined alone with the doctor and possibly the nurse.

were you examined the sam way by the same old lady doctor each year of high school ?

after the first sport physicals you were expecting what would happened the other years and be certainly less shocked and embarrassed if it was the same doctor?

A question to "profowan " message ° 46

you complain about the attitude of your doctor at a physical examination

"The first awkward moment, basically laying naked and having your sister watch the doctor examining your penis and gentials. As if that wasn't enough, he managed to keep a full conversation with my mom the entire time. The final awkward moment, naked and shooting pain from your doctor accidently pitching your testical. Yes, I changed doctors shortly after this exam"

in fact when there was a mother present in the examination room, it seems that it was rather frequent that the doctor talked with her as if you were not the patrient examined and able to speak .

I recognize that it was very unfair since he acted like if you were only a piece of meat without human feelings

anyway you were lucky that your mom agreed with your decision to change of doctors.

I don't remember if you have said when it occured but if it was not in recent times, it was rather seldom that a mother left a boy still young like you were to change of doctor .

Question to "hildabert" message n °36 :

It seems that you talked of school physicals, not physicals at a doctor's office

in that case I finf that you were rather lucky that your PE master was not more authoritarian with you

you said that he tryed to convince you that it was useless to keep your white cotton Pe shorts but without sucess , none of you agreed to remove t for the whole exam

I notice that some Pe teachers would have not been so tolerant and had given you instructions to strip completely even if you were reluctant, it happened in some schools.

Did he attend to your examination ? how old were you at that time

as regards your exam for national service it was rather frequent to be completely naked in front of a military doctor

you could have been lucky not to have to strip in the nude in front of a large group for the whole examination and to wait stark naked in corridors.

and the loss of time while waiting even in the nude was very frequent in the army. If he was filling a form, it was logical that he did not care if you were standing in the nude and ready to be aroused

"wait" was very often the answer at the army...

@esaterman - No, luckily my mother was not in the room at the time of my sports physical. It was the first time my mother did not accompany me into the exam room at my pediatricians (I suspect she knew what was about to happen). When the nurse called my name in the waiting room I remember my mom asking me if I wanted her to come with me and I said no. It was also the last time I ever went to the pediatricians. After that exam I transferred to my parents family doctor.

When I was younger mom was with me in the exam room, the nurses always told her to undress me to my underwear. When I got older mom let me undress myself while she folded my clothes and placed them on the chair. Sometimes, I was slow, as I watched the nurse setup the room equipment. Mom would say "let's get this going little boy", and help me undress. The nurses would look over at me, smile, then write something on the clipboard. Height/weight, and blood pressure were taken first. Rectal temp was the always last procedure while I laid on my tummy with my arms at my side. I remember the nurse standing beside me holding the rectal thermometer in my bottomhole. I could feel her twirl, slightly withdraw, and reinsert it deeper into me. Sometimes I looked back and see her staring at the thermometer in my bottom. From here the nurse would say "lay still for me". Mom was sitting on the chair reading a magazine. Every now and then she would looking back at the rectal thermometer sticking out of my bottom, smile and say "lay still for the nurse". This procedure continued for the 5 minutes.

I seem to remember as a very young child stripping to underwear for about the first 5 minutes of exam.,, then the Dr pulling it off for the remainder of the exam

As a child, my pediatrician would remove the articles of clothing that needed to be removed as the exam progressed. I never remember being fully naked for an exam.

I never went to a ped. only the family GP. I don't remember having my temp taken in the office though it must have happened. What I do remember is the shots of Bicillin LA, a real hurty for a small child.

At the pediatrician I always started out stripping to just underpants and end up naked. The family doctor was pretty much the same. When I left home my doctors started having strip completely and wear a gown or drape.

I was never fully nude. During my physicals around 13 or 14, I wouldnt be given any instructions to disrobe immediately. My dad was always in the room for the duration of the exam. When the doc came in, he would ask me to take my shirt and socks off and hop up on the table. Most of the time I was wearing underwear and some shorts. After running through most of the exam, I would be told to lie back while he pushed on my abdomen. Eventually, my shorts would get in the way and he would undo my belt, button, and zipper. This allowed him to insert his hands under the waistband of my underwear to examine my lower abdomen. I got erect very easily, and I was always fully hard at this point with my dick pointing straight up towards my belly button. So when he lifted the waistband of my underwear up, my hardon was staring him in the face. He would work around it or move it away with the back of his hand while he finished up the abdomen. Then he made a comment that he needed to check everything "down below." With this, he grabbed by dick and moved it around, getting a good look at all sides. He spread open the meatus. Then he pushed his hands further down my pants and felt each testicle. When he decided he had seen enough, he would retract his hands, zip and button my pants. Then the exam was over.

I remember there was only two states of undress, panties only or naked

Full dressed till the genital exam, then we used to pull our pants down and be examined while lying down,

In all of my physicals as a kid in the 70's and 80's, I was completely nude. I don't recall being offered a gown. After that, I was always given a gown. At first, I thought it was because I wasn't as attractive as I used to be, but then some friends in the medical biz said it was because of liability reasons. Check my recent post at "what was your most embarrassing physical exam so far?" for one of my nude exams.

but then some friends in the medical biz said it was because of liability reasons.

I've been trying to figure out what kind of liability could be affected by getting a gown or not. I can't come up with anything other than reasons of offending someone's ideas of prudery or modesty. It certainly won't help from catching a cold in the doctor's office for instance by wearing a gown ...

You were a kid in the 70s and 80s? According to your profile, we're of similar age. I got married - as an adult - in the late 70s. Get your BS straight.

Growing up when i was at dr for physical or whatever, I was always clothed comepletely until it was time for the genital exam. That was the only time i was undressed unless it was for a shot. I do not even remember having a rectal temp done as i was growing up

I went to the pediatrician until 16.

I usually had to undress to m underwear. When she needed to examine my privates, then theycame off as well.

I had to be completely nude for some exams.

Pediatrician exams always made me strip down to my underwear. It seems that it didn't matter what I was coming in for. Even if I was in for a sore throat, they would make me strip down to my underwear. And, in those days, I wore the old-school tight whities briefs so it was rather embarrassing to strip down to them every time. It was particularly embarrassing as I became older in my early teen years.

I agree that tighty whities do enhance embarrassment because they look really stupid and unstylish and minimize coverage of your body. They also make it obvious whether you have a large or small penis and testes.

Almost always in just panties and socks during the first part of the exam, and nude for the second part.. After I turned 13 I started getting a gown, but nothing underneath.

At the paediatricians office, the nurse showed mom and me to a room and told her to undress me to underpants and then left. In a few minutes she returned and led me to a scale in the hall for getting height and weight. Then back to the room for vital signs. The doctor worked his way from head to toe and somewhere in between my underpants came off. They stayed off until shots were finished.

When i was in my teens i would just simply undress to my underwear and sit on tne exam table was never offered a gown or drape to put on and my doctor was a male at the time which i didnt like
