Interviewed by the doctor while undressed to underwear or in a gown?

Yes,that is what has MOSTLY happened in my exams.I think one reason,is because I needed diapers(Pampers) again when I was 9 years old,and very rarely was in for an exam in regular panties.Yes I had a gown on most of the time with my diaper on underneath,and yes MY mommy was also in on all my pediatriac exams and even some of my GYNO exams when started seeing that specialist.

To do that when I only see this doc for the first time means to me "he has no time to talk with a patient"!

Then I would leave the cabinet at once - this doc is no choise for me!

I started with a new (to me) female doctor about 20 months ago. First physical I was shown to the exam room and told to put a gown on. The doctor palpated my abdomen then listened to my heart and lungs. She had me roll over on my side to check my prostate. I'm guessing that is the only reason for the gown.

I recently had my 2nd annual physical with her. This time I remained fully clothed. I lifted my shirt so she could listen to my heart and lungs. She palpated my abdomen, and that was it. These are the two briefest physicals I have ever had. I'm considering changing doctors.

The only time I ever am told to wear a gown is during colonoscopies. I get a cystoscopy every 12 weeks and am examined by a vascular surgeon every 6 months to check on my aortic repair and I NEVER wear a gown; just take my pants and underwear off and leave my shirt on.

My Fam. Doc. never has me undress at all. I have total trust in him. He listens to my chest through my shirts, unbuckles my trousers and palpates my abdomen. He also runs many blood tests, including PSA and CEA. Whenever we talk about my health, I am always completely dressed.

If I may reiterate. The physical is guided by the history. In the absence of symptoms the yield is low for a physical.

Usually by the time the doctor comes in and interviews me I am either in a gown, or in my panties and bra sitting on the exam table waiting to be examined

Anytime I've been interviewed by the doctor I have been fully clothed. I've only been required to undress only if she is focusing on a specific area of my body.

I'm usually wearing the gown when the doctor comes in the room to do the interview.

Usually, the nurse instructed me to undress to my "shorts" and put on a paper gown already waiting for me on the exam table. Then the doctor knocks on the door after like 3-5 minutes, and interviews me while sitting on the exam table, often without wearing that gown cuz i didn't think the modesty was necessary & would just be a nuissance while being examined. It's not like i'd try to sue for assault, abuse or anything.

I had one doctor who had his desk & the exam table in one room, with a small bathroom off to the side. he would ask me to go in the bathroom, strip down, & one time he put it "come dancin' out in (my) undies"

My discussions with the doc happen once i am undressed, gowned and sitting on the exam table. I believe they do that to be most efficient. In past times, i think the doctor took more time so often the interview was in an office first. I see this in movies anyway.

Have many of you have had an adult experience of meeting a new doctor for the first time when you are already undressed to underwear only or in a gown only? Not unusual for kids when I was one but only a few times has this happened once I became an adult. Being already in a gown only is okay when a doctor walks in. But many male patients are not given gowns and told to strip to their underpants. The main concern would be when the doctor opens the door from the hallway and whether anyone else is walking past to have a look. I doubt that many of us care about the doctor alone. If you are sitting there waiting for the doctor in underwear only, do you feel more vulnerable thinking that the door is going to open and potentially expose you to whoever is in the hallway?

I always ask for a paper drape and then strip completely nude, including removing my underwear. The drape is only really used to protect my privacy while the door is being opened and closed. Once the doctor or nurse is in the exam room and the door is closed, there's no need for the drape or any covering at all.

Oh Jimmy you animal! If you came to see me you'd freeze because my ER is too cold.

During my most recent physical a few weeks ago, I was told to undress completely and put on a pair of disposable shorts. The doctor greeted me, interviewed me, examined me, and then left the room without ever seeing me in clothes. It was completely unexpected but it was efficient.

I got interviewed by the female x ray technician in just my boxer shorts.i was having my back x rayed and had to remove my clothing

At my last dermatologist appointment it was a bit of both. The Dr initially saw me while I was fully clothed, then asked me to undress while he went to get something. It's then then I noticed the way the door to the office was hung. It swung in such a way as to shield the view of the examination table. Maybe a coincidence? Maybe by design?Anyways, he left the room long enough for me to undress comfortably and I was waiting on the exam table by the time he reentered.

I absolutely hate having my bp taken while I'm undressed. Of course it's high. Not that I'm uncomfortable being naked. I'm sure it would be much lower in my own home in that state of undress.

MNbaseballjock, how much did you have to undress for that dermatologist appointment? I understand that you were behind the door but were you in a gown only or in underwear or what?

My experiences have always been the nurse does vitals and preliminary questions while I'm dressed and if it's an exam or procedure that requires me to undress at all will then give me the gown, tell me what to take off and then leaves. I gown up, wait an interminable amount of time for the doctor to show up and then am asked questions while gowned. Sometimes while he's doing the exam, sometimes before, usually both. The only time I've been completely naked for an exam is with the dermatologist.

When I am undergoing physical exam with my doctor to send enfermira I wear a sweater open in front or in back so then I see the doctor

Yes a couple of times while in my underwear

@davidwest, down to my briefs for most of the exam. naked for a small portion.

Personally I've never been undressed while interviewed. In my wife's case though the standard sequence at her gynecologist's office is to first get changed into the gown (after vitals are taken by the nurse). Her gyn doesn't normally see her until after she is in nothing but the gown. A brief introduction and interview follows.

Normally get the questions while I've still got my clothes on. A couplevof times there's beenbsome follow upside been asked about my sexual history while they're examing my genitals.

I happen to interview my patients in their bra and panties if I need a little humiliation to be part of the setting (if the patient want's it that way). But, unless this is the specific reason, I usually conduct the medical questionnaire before I ask the patient to get some privacy and to undress. This leaves me the few minutes needed to update her file before I begin the weigh-in and the clinical assessment.

Dr.MG

If I'm going to get undressed, it's always before the doctor comes in. She will shake hands and do a brief interview and then do her examination.

As an adult, it is depending on doctors but some either men or women,are asking questions after undressing in underwears.

it is not really an issue

I have a friendly male doctor whom I see every 6 moths or so for a health check - ie full physical. It's not UK National Health so he takes his time and it's good. Sometimes, though, if he's got a busy clinic, it helps if I get undressed before the questions/'history' as he's typing up notes etc from the last patient. In that case, I strip once in his office. The examinations are always conducted with me completely undressed. But, if it's a busy 'get undressed first' day, I keep my boxers on for the chat and then lose them for the exam. He used to get his nurse to do the vitals before seeing him. But in the past couple years, he does it all himself. Sitting just in my boxers answering questions was a bit odd at first but now I really like it when this happens. I'd be happy to get naked from he start but worry about my bare backside on his furniture before moving to the exam couch. Not sure the nurse would be happy to clean that like she does the exam table.

Experiences have varied with doctor. At times, fully clothed during interview, others, donning underwear only. 95% of my exams have me underwear clad only during the exam itself. Small percentage ... I was wearing exam gown but completely naked underneath. I love wearing my white briefs only while waiting for the doctor to enter. Penis enlargement and precum add to the excitement while waiting!

Being naked while talking to the doctor sounds amazing. It adds intimidation. Sadly I've never experienced it though.
