Medical examinations for school and university

The only exams I ever had at school (1958-1970 in GA)were hearing and vision tests, never had a physical that was required by the school.

Never actually had a school exam....down hear our schools certainly can't afford to offer services like that!

I am from Germany, too. The only exam I ever had, was before primary school, to check if you are ready for school. Afterwards only the dentist came several times. There was the possibility to get shots against measels. But I didn`t take part in it.

Well, it looks like then there are no school physicals in Germany anymore. If I remember right, someone told me that in the 1980's these physicals were very thorough in East Germany.

Despite of all this I find it little bit strange that especially in Germany there are no such physicals anymore although medical care is otherwise well-organized or am I wrong.

I never had a school physical of any kind, just a hearing and vision test. It seems to be that these are uncommon now- too many lawsuits, perhaps?

I don't think lawsuits have nothing to do with this. In fact I do not see any reason why they should. Regular physicals are very common in some countries also at school. And it's not uncommon at all that school doctors are males which perform exams also to girls. These physicals are though typical only in countries in which the public health care is effective enough and financially supported.

At the age of 12. At that age there was a special school physical where they examined my urinary system , genitals and rectal area.

I think they arranged that exam because the school was concerned for my health, as they put it, but I got no other explanation, and the exam came as a total surprize.

At the age of 14. At that time I was most afraid of being naked before other people.

During the physicals (I only wore underwear, which I didn't mind), the doctor just said: "lower your pants and pull back your foreskin".

I didn't aspect this to happen. So I lowered my pants slowly, just to my knees and pulled back my foreskin. All the time, i just looked straight ahead, my foreskin pulled back, until the doctor finnaly said: "it's all right". It was only a few seconds, but it looked to me as if it were hours.

Two years later I had to go back, but then they only looked into my pants for just a few seconds. So I wasn't too exposed at that time.

The special exam was performed on every 12 years old boy (girl).

I simply don't know. But I think it was done on at leasrt some of us. I remember that everything went extremely smoothly an without any pain or trouble, and that is only possible if the doctors and nurses did this kind of exam very often.

Special exams were not announced openly, as the school physicals. Instead the parents god a message and they brought us to those special exams.

When I was 7 year, I had a special exam of my ears and a hearing test performed outside the school, but ordered by the school health service. At that exam I saw one of the other boys present, but I don't know if all of us had that exam either.

I went to an all boys bording school, and we were all subject to an examination by the school doctor at the begining of every term. had to queue in just underpants and wait for matron to come out and take you into doctors office. she was there throughout which made it more humiliating. was a basic general exam, with bloodpressure ect. at the end we had to remove our underwhere, hand them to matron and stand legs apart for the doctor to examine us. would feel our balls, squeezing and making us couch. then examine our cock, commenting on size and then rolling the foreskin back to ensure it went all way back. then told to dress and sent back to class.

I also went to an all-male boarding school. After school finished every Friday we were packed off for showers and baths under the supervision of the matron. Once a year, for my first 3 years, we would have to go immediately after this, in our dressing gowns, to the school sick bay to see the doctor. We were lined up in groups, and I remember we always had to walk naked the short distance to the (male) doctor's room. The exam wasn't that extensive, as a matte of fact (no genital exam for example).

I also vaguely remember being examined by a lady doctor at primary school when I was about 5. We pulled our vests up for the stethoscope, and I think a nurse pulled our pants down. I do remember the doctor pulling my foreskin back, but for some reason the whole memory is pretty vague.

I did see my younger sister getting an extremely thorough examination at primary school. For this she was undressed to her panties but no further.

Starting in grade 1 we had to have an annual school exam. My mom would take us to the family doctors, but the school still required an exam be done at school. We lived in a rather poor area and while we were well off for many of the kids this was the only time they saw a Dr. They would get their shots an all at school on another day. We would go as a class with our teacher to the gym. They had little portable screens set up. We had to strip to undershirt or bra, and panties, boys in undies, and stand in a row by last name.

The gym teachers would maintain order in the line while we waited.

When we went behind the screen your teacher was always there. BTW I had male teachers in grades 6,7,10 and 12 but I guess since we had done this and they were authority figures we didn't know to be upset. Anyway it was weight, then eye test, ears, nose and throat by the school nurse. In high school I remember the nurse being really old and creepy. UGH..

The we went behind another screen with the doctors nurse, our teacher and met the doctor. As it happened the doctor was always one of the four doctors who were in the clinic our family used so I knew them. There was one lady and 2 men and you didn't know which one of them would be there that day. The next step was the back check so you had to lean forward and the doc would check you then while you were bent forward the nurse would pull your undies down enough to take lubricate your anus an take a rectal temp. While waiting for the temp to complete the doctor would ask some questions. After the temp you stood up in front of the doc who would have the nurse remove your shirt or bra, have you stand with your arms out and slowly turn 360 to check for bruises, rashes etc. They would then do a quick breast exam if you had hit puberty, dictating to the nurse and comments. You could then put your bra or shirt back on. Then the nurse would have you step out of your undies, stand with feet a bit apart and the doctor would do a quick genital exam. When young it was just a quick look to be sure "you looked clean". As you got older they would have you sit on the edge of a table with your legs spread and then they would do a quick manual vaginal inspection. What was most embarrassing was they would have the nurse note whether your hymen was intact or not. >😢

If it wasn't then you would be called back later to discuss birth control. You could then get dressed and the teacher walked you out and got the next victim

Finally if you had the misfortune to have your period that day you had to come back 2 weeks later when the kids who were out sick were scheduled to complete the exam.

We girls never talked about it in front of the guys, but the guys seemed to want to brag about their exams

Seems they got a full genital exam, and i guess the doc had to make them erect since they claimed that their foreskin was checked to see if it was clean or too tight.

None of them admitted to climaxing there though. Always wondered if their stories were true or not.

Hearing and vision tests were mostly performed at my school... but when i had to get a physical FOR school, pretty much any time in adolescence....

My most embarrassing moment was when i had been seeing the doctor privately (no mom in room) at age 15... and when i got all done, apparently the doctor talked to my mom about putting me on ritalin for my "hyperactivity" - which was actually nervousness in the office. My mom told me as we were driving home. I was angry that the doctor (female) would talk to my mother about me especially when i felt that what i shared with the doctor should be kept in confidence.

I guess thats why i dont really trust female doctors.

"Emma" : I am rather surprised of what you said about the boys examination in school, and that they bragged about it and talked of it in front of you,as others girls classmates, particularly for the genitals exam and and the foreskin inspection of retractation because they found that kinf of exam very embarrassing.

Generally, in co-ed schools, it was an issue for the boys if the girls could learn how their exam was performed. So, as their modesty and privacy were generally less respected by nurses and doctors, they tried to avoid that girls coumld know how they were examined, on the opposiote, I knew that the girls were of course interested but boys preferred that the girls did not know anything about their exam, and of course it was the same at home if they were questioned about their physicals in schools in frontn of their sister, younger or older, or any other person of the opposite gender.

I also had to be examined by a family doctor prior to attending school, I was never examined at school except in middle school when they did a scoliosis check.

I think that is a huge part of my fascination with medfet. We are raised to never show our privates and then we go to the Doctor and they can see whatever they want.

This is what it was like when I was at school! They seemed to just examine a handful of pupils. No idea what the basis for being selected was.

I was never selected :'(

When I was in private grammar school, K-8, we had scoliosis checks every 2 years. They asked the girls to bring a bathing suit and the boys to wear shorts and a t shirt. I never got to see the girls exam, but we would line up to see the dr, get our spines palpated, touch our toes, etc. but that was about it.

I had to go to school nurse my 8Th year for sports. IT was em barressing the Dr had me drop my pants in front of her and they both looked at me penis and balls .he then went to the next boy while she said not done come in here. We went to the bathroom where she said lean over the sink. She spread my cheeks and looked at my anus and said OK good your done. I dint know what she was looking for.

Which countries still have compulsory school physicals and which don't

In Italy it's not compulsory

In Germany neither

We still have, in Finland, school physicals almost every year. The physicals are part of the public health care and financially supported and therefore everyone gets them. These exams are not compulsory literally but everyone still participates in them.

Two episodes made them more embarrassing than the regular ones for me. The first time I was required to lower my underpants for a hernia check and genital exam at age 12, and when I had my first rectal inspection (visual, nothing inserted) when I think I was 14.

Never had a exam at school but was embarrassed during physicals until around age 13 when my mom stopped going into the exam room with me.

In Serbia it's not compulsory.

In Spain it's not compulsory

In France, they were really compulsory until recent years and perfoemed each year but it is no more the case.

there are only three or four schools exams during all the years of school from elementary schools to the end of high schools.

They are supposed to be compulsory but if a student is not present, I believe that he is not summoned an other time but I am not sure of that.

May be he can give a form of his family doctor and the school agrees with that medical certificate that he is in good health.

it is certainly different for those who attend schools which are specialised in sports

I don't know about the whole country, but my college in Brazil required physicals for PE practice. If you were a male, it was an all-nude group physical. I had to take the physical twice, once with a doctor and another with a med student pretty much my age. It was very embarrassing to have a person my age tell everyone to get naked.

As DraconusRex said, it depends where you are in the United States and even more specifically, what state and district you are in. The school district that I was in had exams pretty much every other year as a requirement. If vaccinations were due, then you had to see you doctor. If it was a different year, then you had to have a form filled out and returned to the nurse, otherwise the school would make you come down and get a basic exam (no, I don't know how in depth, my parents never opted for that one). I know that the district near ours had exams for everyone in each entry grade (ie: kindergarten, 1st, 6th, 9th, and 12th for some reason)

Wen i was 10 the school made a full chek-up for all the classroom. I don't remember well what they did but i'm sure that the doctor examined my genitals and penis.
