State of dress or undress for male physical exam

My current PCP asks to me to completely undress and only provides a paper sheet to cover with. That said she does not do a full genital exam. She checks for hernias though. My dermatologist asks me to remove everything but my underwear. She does check underneath on both my front and back sides.

My current internist has me remove all of my clothing, including boxers and socks and put on a gown. The gown is removed at the end for the genital and rectal exams.

Usually I remove my shirt for the ekg and by the time the rectal is finished, I’m nude except for socks.

I get naked from the beginning. It makes the exam easier for my PA and myself

Usually stripped down to underpants for the exam and then lower them for the genital and rectal exam. I've never been completely naked in a real exam.

Where do you get your exams done? No doctor seems to require the removal of anything but the minimum of clothing now.

I just had my second annual physical from my PCP, and same as last year, I did not have to undress before the exam at all. He listened to my heart and lungs over my shirt. Raised the bottom of my shirt up a little for the abdominal exam. Then I dropped my pants to my knees for the hernia and prostate exam.

Before anybody starts complaining how I didn't have a complete exam, I assure you he checked everything that needed to be. He just didn't have me strip before the exam. He knows that I have yearly exams from a dermatologist, so he shouldn't be concerned about a skin exam. I know when it comes to anything medical, or physicals, or exposure, most people on this site believe more is better. But I was happy with my doctor and exam.

Up into my late 30s, I was usually underwear clad only. Since then, I have predominantly experienced being instructed to strip completely and then don an exam gown. I never tie the exam gown in the back since the top half is usually lowered to my waist in the initial stages of the exam. The gown only serves as a waist drape until I am instructed to stand. Then, I toss the gown onto the exam table and remain naked during the testicular exam and DRE.
