Ladies, Sitting On The Exam Table Topless Or Naked

Ladies, have any of you been instructed to strip down and wait patiently for the doctor on the exam table without being offered a gown? Did you experience feelings of consternation as you sat there, unbeknownst to you when the doctor would enter the room? Where you aware that as the door opened, any onlooker or passerby could see you in that state of undress? What were your thoughts when the doctor initially fixed his gaze upon your compelled display of nakedness? Did you make an attempt to preserve your modesty by placing your arms across your breasts?

My wife had to be topless in hospital when the doctors listened to her heart. But when the exam was over she was told to put her top back on. I think normally a female patient is wearing a gown etc when waiting to be examined. I may be wrong. Good topic though hope some ladies can advise you better.

I wish that was possible in a realistic scenario, but I've never heard of it happening in reality.

I wrote in another post how females are offered much more modesty than males, as they are always given a gown with a drape. I'm usually told by my female doctor that I can either take everything off and wear a gown, or wear just my underwear. A male doctor would probably lose his license if he told a female to wait in her panties.

If you think about it, having all patients wait in just their underwear, or perhaps even fully nude, would make for quicker exams. It would also allow the doctor to more accurately assess the patient's condition by being able to see their whole body. Gowns and clothing being left on serve no other purpose than patient modesty.

Lastly, I've been told that they only scenario that might involve full nudity for a female patient is a full body skin exam conducted by a derm. The patient is sometimes only given a paper drape, and at some point it's removed completely. I've only heard bits and pieces, so hopefully a female member can give some more detail concerning the amount of time that they are fully nude.

It is my understanding that this was a plausible scenario for female patients, especially at pediatric exams, in years past.

Pediatrics is a whole other thing. In the recent past, with modesty becoming more important than health, women are hardly ever left undraped unless medically necessary. Even then, it's for the minimum necessary time.

One example would be the seated breast exam, when comparing the two breasts is part of the exam.

Sensei1980 in the 70's and early 80's it was very common for women to be fully nude in the Gp's surgery for "pill Check" exams, well women exams and some pre and post natal exams. The were asked to disrobe completely and the cover themselves with a sheet, which in most cases was move about and not replaced, leaving them exposed. They were then examined by the GP usually alone without a chaperone being present.

Often when stething them they woulds be asked to remove their tops and bra and sit on the exam couch. However unlike the US , this all occurred in the GP consultation/exam room. The exam couch could be screened with a screen or a moveable screen on wheels. But some women have said that they had to undress fully in the view and presence of the GP.

Nowadays such occurrences are very rare, a lot of the well women checks are performed by the practice nurses.

Ive been topless on the table it turns out he just forgot to give me a gown honest mistake at least him and a nurse were the only ones to see and yes I was very nervous almost as much as I was horny

It was a double standard for years on end. Women (from what I remember) always got a gown and men often were expected to just "go without" and submit to a certain degree of nudity depending on the nature of the appointment at the doctor's office. Then along came (what I call) "Mr. Sensitive Ponytail Man" who started whining and complaining about modesty, self esteem etc etc. Now both sexes get the gown so we can all feel better about ourselves. Well, good luck with that undetected Melanoma, folks.

To be honest, any doctor that made a woman sit topless or nude for an extended period of time as described, would probably have the pants sued off of him, at least in the US. Exposing the part of the body to be examined is appropriate. I know a lot of us medfet weirdos are always "oh it should always be naked" or "back in my day people just were lined up with their cock and balls out and they LIKED IT that way."

As for the double standard comment of men vs women, why shouldn't men be allowed to have their modesty as well. Not every man wants to flaunt his body to everybody who is willing to look at his penis. Some men have religious reasons for their modesty, amongst other reasons. But hey if you want to be waiting in the exam room with nothing on when your doctor shows up in the room, go for it, chances are you'll be escorted out by security 😜

I did not say I wanted to be completely naked. I am comfortable sitting around in my boxer briefs until the doctor arrives provided there is a reason why I need to be undressed to that level such as an annual physical. If I have conjunctivitis in my eye then there is no need to strip down. Get it? Big difference. I would rather surrender my modesty for about an hour a year then to pay a heavy price of illness down the road because the doctor could not note a potential problem because a gown was in the way. Given a choice I will suck it up for an hour. At the end of the day it is a personal choice.

Of course some modesty is surrender for an examination. That said, there isn't any reason why a just as thorough examination of the entire body cannot be done with a gown on. You mentioned melanoma and skin examinations, here is a little hint for you, after your upper half is examined, you can cover that part of yourself back up! Let's face it, how many serious illnesses are going to be diagnosed when you have your exam in your boxers vs an examination with a gown on? Do you really think a doctor is unable to do his or her job, simply because there is a piece of cloth/paper covering you? Seriously? If your doctor is that terrible, it's time to find a new on. Let's face it, you make a personal choice to go without the gown and sit in your boxers and that's fine. Don't make it about health reasons though as that is BS.

I did not say that either. You really are attempting to twist my words. The gown does get in the way and I am sure it is much easier for a doctor to conduct a physical without it. I could care less if you want a gown or not. PERSONAL CHOICE.

That said, there isn't any reason why a just as thorough examination of the entire body cannot be done with a gown on.

I believe there's a large contingent of members that will be very happy to argue that point with you, especially when it comes to skin cancer and full body exams. I'll leave that discussion to others here, but isn't this discussion getting away from the original subject? That was LADIES, sitting on the exam table topless or naked. I'm just saying.

Interesting. The poster posed the question to ladies.

Thus far, only one respondent has been identified as female.

^^^Happens often...wonders !!

If the OP wanted a female response he should have put it in the gyn forum, as it's probably more frequented by women. Regardless, you'll always get more responses by men...

I would venture to say hardly anyone is asked to strip totally naked at the beginning of the exam in a real life situation. However in play I would love to be told to strip completely naked (or at least to panties only) and have to wait on the paper-covered exam table in the cold exam room for the doctor to come in. The anticipation is one of the best parts for me.

It was pretty much standard when I was at boarding school.

We had a full time matron, but if you needed a dr but it was not that urgent, one would come up from the village 2 times a week.You had to access the examination room via the matrons nurses office so no one could accidentally come in but it did cause your heart to jump when the door opened.

For some reason, possibly speed the dr always insisted that you were nude and ready for him. Having seen so many nude bodies in his life I doubt if he was the least bit turned on by what he saw but I remember doing the silly thing of crossing my boobs and pussy with my arms the first time he saw me.

Personally, I found I felt very vulnerable being in a room on my own like that on my own, and that said I found it just as disconcerting if the matron was in the room with me and she carried on talking as there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Pammy,

Please expound upon the exam you received while in boarding school. What was the reason for your exam? What areas did the doctor examine?

I've never been asked to strip down and wait for the doctor on the table with no gown or covering. When asked to undress at a visit or for an exam, I've always been provided a gown or drape to cover myself while I wait for the doctor to come in. Obviously during my examination I am uncovered and exposed, but only partly and never completely.

Here no gown or drape is offered for a Pap smear. You are asked to undress from the waist down and make yourself comfortable on the exam bed. So I remove my pants and shorts and just sit on the edge of the exam bed .waiting for the nurse to come back. Mostly it is a female nurse that carries out the test . Sometimes if there is an issue then they will call the Gp in who could be male or female . There you lay on the exam bed , completely exposed with no cover . It's something you get used to over the years.

At a hospital appointment I've found you are only given a gown for set consultants. For example the appointments I regularly have are by a male uro/gynaecologist. There is always a female nurse present . The nurse asks me to undress from the waist down and then get on the exam bed . By the time the uro/gynae consultant enters the room I'm usually in stirrups and have had my bladder completely emptied ready for him to do his sounds treatment . There is no cover but am exposed anyway. So it's no big deal.

I generally get a gown for his appointments when he is carrying out a full bladder assessment or the first time I seen him when he carried out a full physical exam and was totally naked. The gown was lowered for his heart and lungs exam and also the Breast exam and then put back on and pulled up as I lay down for the abdo and gynae exams.

I believe this used to be more popular in later years .,, but present times have resulted in much faster , and more drapping exams...!!

I do believe that many of the women on this board would fall into the age bracket where this practice would have been prevalent in their youth. I know from personal experience that this was the predominant manner for examining males in years past. I am imploring the female members to provide their recollections.

I never sat on the table naked. I would sit on the the table in just my underwear, without a gown until I was 14.

Never, I'm aways just asked to undress from the waist down. no gowns and no sheets but not totally naked either. i always wear dresses so that they cover everything until i need to pull them up

That never happened to me.

In the early 80's my wife was examined yearly fully unclothed. Our family Dr. just did all his yearly exams this way. I wish they still did this! 😃

Often yes.In Europe I have have had lots of exams.Many times onne is kept waiting in state of undress after nurses asked one to strip in readyness for doctor

I was taught as a student to respect patients modesty and never have the patient be entirely naked. I don't know any doctor who does this. The nurse chaperones wouldn't allow it. Some may be titillated by the idea but it just doesn't happen in California.

No, never happened to me, NEVER.

If it had, I'd be searching for a new doctor, and filing a complaint about such treatment. 😢
