My girlfriend told me about a gyn exam, she was about 21 that time. At first she undressed from the waist down as it is common in Europe and put her feet into the stirrups. The doctor did a speculum exam and a transvaginal ultrasound. When he told her that it was time for the breast exam she stood up and wanted to put on her trousers again and after that put off her t-shirt. When she stood next to the gyn chair naked from the waist down the doctor said, well just put off the t-shirt to save some time. So she lifted her t-shirt and bra and more or less stood there completely naked. I imagined the picture of my tall, blonde, completely shaved girlfriend standing there naked and exposing her breasts. I wonder if the doctor tried this often to see some of his patients naked.

Just had my annual physical and the PA had me get naked for the skin check. Unfortunately she made me put on a gown and a lap sheet and really kept me hidden, on the most part, because of the assistant in the room with her. My last PA never did call for an assistant even for the hernia and prostate exam.

Several times over, while a patient in the hospital, I've needed help while taking a shower. In fact, one time I passed out so I was completely naked for the shower, drying and such.

I agree with JDS. When offered the gown, return it, folded, to the drawer.

As I usually do. Always remember that you are the consumer of your health care. You are in control (within reason). The doctors and nurses should be there to make you feel more comfortable. Not the other way around.

To get all naked visiting your doctor would not be normal procedure in Denmark - I guess getting totally undressed might make the doctor wonder what...

Stevie,

Take control, don't use the gown!

I never been totally nude always with boxers or gown I wish they would all do away with gowns it would be great. !!

I dont think it happens in italy!

I don't give my dermatologist a choice, when she comes in the room, I am nude, sitting on the gown the nurse gave me. As I've had melanoma, I'm not taking any chances.

I did the same thing for a mole mapping procedure with 2 nurses.

Years ago, I had a cardiac catheterization. At the lab, they had me stand up and remove my gown. One nurse did my groin shave just like that.

Never completely undressed. Always in underwear, which I'd lower for the genital exam

I just got home from the urologist today. Only had to pull my pants down to my knees to be checked. Thank goodness everything is alright.

I'm in my boxer briefs, or in a gown. I've never been completely undressed.

Not in Denmark either, - never heard about being totally naked at a real doctor.

For real exams from a real doctor I'm only naked under the gown and it's never completely removed. For play exams I'm often naked for the entire exam. It may not be realistic but it is fun. lol

I think the most naked I've been was a skin exam (shirt off), and when I had a pilonidal cyst on my tailbone lanced (pants down).

Only remove clothing required for the exam

I will start off in a gown but it is off when he checks my heart and lungs and that is the last I see of the gown.

Depends on what needs be examined, i have been nude lots of times as they rarely give me gown

I'm always naked for my physicals and check ups in front of my female doctor....go into exam room and strip down and sit on the table and wait... She comes in and I am some what erect..:-)

Not counting play exams, I've had 3 nude physicals. the first was a complete physical for college. A few years later, my friend was doing his clinical training to be a PA and he practiced on me. The last one took place about a year ago. My neighbor, an old school internist, gives very thorough physicals. he asked me to take off the gown for the skin exam. I didn't bother to put it back on for the rest of the exam

#129, I think it's not ordinary situation. But I'd like to applaud your candid attitude and courage.

I have a female doctor. I am always totally nude for our appointments. The first time she walked in the room and found me sitting there nude she was momentarily shocked, but I told her I was comfortable and as a medical professional I assumed she would be also. After about 5 minutes together she told me i was correct. She wished all her patients could be nude as it made her work so much easier.

I've never been told to remove the gown

I am usually offered a gown for my annual physical, but I figure that they are going to see all of me, but not at the same time so I figure why bother and I have it done naked.

Doctors should try and get into an ecological mindset. Why cut down trees to make paper gowns that are only going to be worn once? What a waste. And somehow I don't think gowns are made from recycled newspapers either ... ha ha

So I noticed these circles (2) in my groin and pubic area. One is the size of a dime or smaller and the other is quarter sized.

Both don't hurt and are not bumped up, not scaly nor do they hurt. Is that something I should check out?

And will a dermatologist strip you naked to examine you?

My exams always start with some sort of covering, whether its strip down to your boxers, or I'm given a gown or lap drape. But for most of my physicals, I've wound up totally naked for a few minutes when its time to stand up for the hernia test. For prescheduled physicals they always leave the room for me to undress, but if its for an unplanned check or just a quick check, I have dropped or taken off my pants with them in the room.

I have never been completely naked except for a colonoscopy. Well, I was wearing a hospital gown and one might as well be naked with one of those.

I have never been totally naked before male / female doctor, but I would like to try it. Doctor never checked my penis or genital on medical examinations.

I have only been totally naked in front of a female doctor, but topless in front of both.
