More examination than needed

I would like to hear from ladies that feel like they were exposed in the stirrups more than normal or the examination they received from a male doctor bordered on maybe not necessary, or almost felt like you were being fondled instead of examined. I would like your thoughts on any examination that just didn't feel quite right.

I've never had an exam that lasted extra long, or was more intimate than needed, however, I have had varied length of exams. Most doctors, in my experience, will just focus on what part of you is sick or injured when you go to them on an emergency basis. For example: Go to a doctor for an ear infection. Doctor checks ear only, and maybe throat and nose, and lungs if you may have a cough, temperature, and other vitals, prescribes antibiotics and you're on your way.

There are some doctors who are more thorough than others. For example: Go to the doctor for the same problem above, and the doctor gives a nearly complete exam minus the intimate parts.

I have experienced both. Though the former - quick in, quick out - is what I normally experience. I did have my first breast exam when I was 13 or 14. My mother was not in the room and it was performed by a male doctor, though the details are rather fuzzy because at the time I did not like the idea of a doctor examining me period, let alone give me a breast exam. I don't recall the exam lasting more than a few minutes on each breast, but I do remember being very scared since my mother wasn't there.

My wife and I used to have the same doctor, we usually went together to the doctor. One thing that I remember most is that every time she went to the doctor no matter what for he would always require that she have a breast exam and he would what to see her genital area.

While when I went for say something like a cold or flu he just checked my chest ears and nose. When I called him on this after my wife went to him for the same symtoms and had almost a complete physical without the pap smear.

The next time I called in for a physical they put me with another doctor that was in the group and not the one that my wife went to.

IT became difficult for me to go with my wife and she did not want to change doctors, now when I go with her it is just a cursery exam and when I am not there he give her a complete exam.

I went to the doctor with flu-like/bronchitis symptoms once. I wasn't asked to remove any clothing. The doctor just lifted my shirt to listen to lungs/heart. But then he unzipped my pants to put his hand in to what I assumed was to feel my glands, but he took it further by then slightly lowering the top of my panties & feeling my outer vaginal parts, around the clitoris. No idea what the purpose was, but I didn't complain 😃

Kallie,

It always seems that doctors find a way to incorporate a genital exam every time you visit. You are in your clothes thinking you got off the hook, then all of a sudden, your pants are unzipped and the doctor has her hand down your underwear. I would love to hear your thoughts.

In the context difficult to see what the purpose was - but you should have, in my opinion, enquired what the purpose was. Whether you enjoyed it or not is somewhat beside the point. If the doctor did not explain what he was going to do or why that smacks of bad communication at best.

Sensei,

I agree. I think that's what made it a turn-on, the shock & surprise of it not being expected.

I was given a gyno and all I wanted was something for flu
