Most embarrassing age

There were probably two exams that both occurred when I was not even into my teens yet. The first was that exam when I had just started developing breast buds and the doctor checked them with the simplest palpation. He was very gentle and talked to me the entire time, but it was embarrassing. As I recall I think I had just gotten a training bra. The second time was maybe a year or two later and I had started menstruating. There was no pubic exam, but he did ask me about my periods and such things about flow, frequency, and regularity. Answering him was really embarrassing.

For me it was 12 to 13. Just entering puberty and having the doctor examine me.

Always embarrassing especially if doctor was male. I do not think they were sexually attracted

I think I was most embarassed as a teen, mostly when my parents ALWAYS attended the appointment

Hello,

I am not really sure that it is a matter of age, i have always found exams embarassing, even as an adult.

It just unpleasant to undressed and be carefully checked by a doctor, especially if it is a mandatory exam.

Probably the most embarassing age to be examinated is puberty. I remember when I was 15 that my parents took me for a control to the pediatric surgeon that operated me some years before for an inguinal hernia. Differently from the first time I saw him (he used to perform his outpatients practice in a fantastic, old fashioned studio in a wonderful flat in center town), he recevied me in the hospital where he worked. After a short medical history review, he asked me to remove everything except for a White t-shirt. A couple of minutes after starting my abdominal exam he received a very long Phone call, during which a lot of people (nurses, other doctors...) entered in the examination room with me completely exposed on the examination table...terrible!!!!

For me, it was the whole teenaged time, starting from 12 to 20 yrs. In that time I had so many exams and several stays at hospital, too. I was always ashamed when my mom took me to the different doctors and when I had to undress then.

I think the most embarrassing age was my later teenage years. The last couple of years of high school when i was still going to the pediatrician. I was old enough to drive so i would drive myself to the exam, but then I was the only one there to answer any questions. I felt like i no longer belonged in a pediatrician's office with all the little kids. The doctor would still do the hernia check, but as i was pretty developed by this point i found it embarrassing. For some reason, it wasn't as embarrassing when I started going to a GP a few years later.

Mine was the year, around 11 or 12, i had to be told twice to drop my pants. The doc was all the way over near the counter, i was becoming too self conscious, and i thought he wasn't ready for me, so why stand exposed for a long time if i didn't have to, especially because i really didn't want to.

Years before that, he was an authoritative adult my parents wanted me to listen to, i did as told right away whether i wanted to or not. When i hit that year where self conscious/embarrassment feelings began to control me, it was either like 11 or 12, i found it hard to bring myself to obey. But it was only that one year.

After that, i still didn't like it & felt awkward, but i did it. And it was quick anyway so i learned to get over it

Definitely puberty, ages 12-15. In several other posts I reference the first time the doctor pulled my underpants all the way down to do the genital exam and hernia check (age 12) and the combination of embarrassment and sexuality was incredibly exhilarating. Even though I'm straight this early experience with a male doctor has impacted my entire sexual life and cemented my interest in med fet. By the time I was 15 I was regularly doing playdoc stuff (by myself) and continue to do so today. My physical at age 15 was also memorable. When the nurse left me alone to give a urine specimen in the exam room (the office I went to used metal pans in each exam room for these due to the small size of the office and the busy state of their bathroom) I pulled my erect penis out of my pants, filled the pan with urine, then masturbated to orgasm standing in the exam room looking at the bright yellow urine specimen. A friend had taught me how to have a retrograde ejaculation by crossing my legs tightly at the ankles while masturbating. I had just finished coming when the nurse opened the exam room door and saw me hurriedly stuff my penis back into my pants. My face was as red as a fire engine and just as hot. I nearly collapsed from excitement/embarrassment/exhilaration...

I didn't have routine physicals growing up, but when I was twelve my mother took me to a dermatologist after I developed a skin condition (eczema). I was naked during the exam and also during a series of treatments that ensued. It was very embarrassing as I was a bit chubby at that age and had not yet started to mature physically.

I would think early to mid teens. That is the time that most people are really starting to mature and some are changing from a pediatrician to a family doctor where the exams seem to be more thorough.

I definitely think that early to mid teens is embarrassing and awkward to have a physical exam. I remember being very anxious about being seen naked around those years.

Early teens. Body is changing. Very self conciis about the changes.

Pretty much any time as a kid that I had to go to the doctor. My exams were always done in front of my mother when I was completely on display to her as she discussed any issues she thought I had in front of me.

I would suspect it would be around the age of puberty to mid teens due to the physical changes associated with this time in your life. Most teens get a bit self conscious and having to exposed their body especially to a doctor of the opposite sex would definitely cause the most awkward and embarrassing situation.

In my teens, the embarrassment of the School Medical was unreal. Stripped to my underpants before a Male Doctor and Female Nurse with a skinny little body was beyond belief and when it came to the doctor pulling the from of my pants down without warning, I could have died. Certainly no chance of an erection.

When I started going through puberty at 12. My boobs and pubes were growing and I had to tell the dr about my periods.

The last few years which my mom attended. Then they were not embarrassing again, for the most part.

I would have to say any age when you have never been seen by the doctor before. I was applying for a job with the government. During the application process I had to spend a day doing pre-hire testing. Besides the usual lifting and caring items, we had to due and drug test and pass a physical.

It was 13/14 because I was in full puberty mode and my parent was still taking me

For me it was at 12, when pubes started growing.

For me, the most embarrassing age was 12 or 13 when I was entering puberty. I felt awkward enough with my body going through so many changes but then to have an adult examine me was really embarrassing.

Definitly the age between 12 and 15. Puberty was the most embaressing time because of the many changes of Body and life.

The pre puberty years when my mom still came into the room with me and stayed for the entire exam. When I started to get pubic hair she still came I but would go out into the hall if I needed to pull down my pants for anything.

I don't recall much embarrassment in physical exams in teenage years, but this is probably because I very seldom had to get a complete "physical" in the sense of nearly completely undressing. I actually wonder whether this happened.

I had my share of embarrassment during a physical meant to check whether I was fit for the military - I was 19, not much experienced sexually, the military doctor was female and the examination involved palpating my testicles.

Some childhood examinations were quite embarrassing. I got a digital rectal exam (well, two) for appendicitis, and the doctor did not say where she would stick her finger. I was a bit vexed - I mean, I was about 9-10 and fully capable of understanding "honey, I'm going to put my finger into your bottom". So the problem there was being treated like a little ignorant, possibly fussy child.

Also, my mom, afraid of phimosis, conducted checks in that respect until nearly puberty. This ended up being embarrassing.

I don't really remember a truly 'embarrassing' physical. I mean the genital exams during puberty were a bit; but still it wasn't to the level of 'crawl in a hole and die' embarrassment

Same here. I remember when my mom told me I was getting my well-child checkup, the first thing I'd think about was if I'd be getting any booster shots. That was always the part that worried me the most, but even shots never caused panic. Genital exams never really made me nervous or anxious even during puberty; I just found the whole exercise of standing in front of my doctor, pulling my pants down, and having him look at and touch my privates an awkward and slightly uncomfortable thing to do.

Even today the part that causes me the most anxiety is getting my blood drawn. I had a terrible technician once who needed several tries despite my prominent veins and I had pain in my arm for days after that.

I don't remember ever being embarrassed by an exam by a male or female examiner.

Definitely my middle and high school years--ages 12 to 18. I'd be hard from the start of the exam until the end, and when you're down to underwear, there's really no hiding it. (Especially when I was lying on the table when the bulge was embarrassingly obvious.) And of course the doc just did the exam without mentioning a thing about it.
