Undressing at exam

On my last exam (new doc) the nurse told me to undress to my underwear and put the paper drape (very small) over my lap for the exam. Being an overachiever, I went ahead and took my underwear off too. Next thing I know, the nurse comes back in and tells me we have to re-locate to another room, and to grab my clothes and follow her. As you can imagine, it is pretty hard to keep that thin paper around your waist (with a semi erection)and carry all your stuff. Needless to say, several employees and a couple of other patients probably got quite the show. Has anyone else screwed themselves up like this?

As with all exams I had done when I was a kid, The (standard) procedure was for me to strip naked and (sit) on the exam table..until the doctor came in. As a young boy I must say that for this reason as well as others.. I always hated (doctor) visits.

Now that I am a doctor I can understand why it was done, and its why I have all my female patients get (completely)naked before I enter..after all if your there for a (complete) exam..whats the need for a gown. 😃

Thanks Dr. Phil

Growing up I used to have to strip down to my underwear. The doctor always said not to bother with the gown since he could examine me better without it.

As a kid I don't ever remamber being naked at an exam. As a n adult the only time I went I did'nt even undress, just dropped my pants for the ball exam , no prostate.

When I was 15, my parents took me to this new doctor who was really into vitamin therapy. After getting a full history from me, he took me into a treatment room and told me to take everything off except my underpants. Right before I started to get undressed, he was called out to see another patient. I thought he would be right back, so I stripped down to my tighty-whities. And then I waited ....

About 5 minutes later the door opened and in walked a blond nurse. She looked at me sitting there in my underwear. She was in total surprise. She said, "Why are you in here in your underwear?" I just mumbled something about the doctor telling me to get undressed and wait.

She didn't see that much, but it was pretty embarrassing.

For my colonoscopy I was instructed to take off everything and put on a gown. For my physicals I am naked from the waist down during the rectal and genital exams.

I've had it be all over the board, even with different doctors in the same office.

(And of course I try to use female doctors whenever I can.)

I've had them just get me to take my shirt off and lower both my pants and underwear for the hernia and rectal.

I've had exams where I was asked to strip down to my underwear and put on a cloth or stupid paper gown. I've had the cloth or paper gowns, but take everything off including the underwear.

I've been told to strip to my underwear, and then lower them for the genital and rectal. (I take the extra initiative and just step out of them completely.)

But my absolute favorite is being told to take everything off and wait under the small cloth lap drape. Not only do I feel fairly exposed while I'm waiting under that little drape, I know there's no way to keep it on for the whole exam, so at some point I'll be totally naked without anything at all.

Usually i have to take off my bra but can keep my panties on and i have a gown and then they make me slip those down at some point...why not just take htem off...

For our annual company exams in the company clinic, we were always made to strip naked for the entire exam. The doctor always said that company policy required that all men be examined "military style". None of the guys ever complained since most were in the military during their late teens and early twenties.

Never had that happen. It would be very embarrasing especially with a nurse of the oposite sex

It would seem to me that if it were a complete physical this is the way to go. I would like to find a doctor who would do this. I have to see several doctors to get a "complete" physical. Last time I scheduled one, I just had a gyno! Then had to go back.

If that happened to me my doctor would let me just put my clothes back on.

To me, if you're going for a complete physical, it just makes sense to strip completely ... so I always do, no matter what they give me to cover up with ...

I have always had to strip completely and put on a gown for a complete physical.

Stripping for a complete physical is common for quickness. Sometimes you will have a doctor that will have you uncover only the portion that is being examined.

Until I was 20, I took everything off except underwear. There were eventually lowered for the genital exams. Since then I have been given a gown and told to keep my underwear on. Tomorrow, I will be going for a physical exam with a new doctor. I will let you know what they have me do. The new doctor is at a medical college teaching hospital. They seen to have great doctors.

Usually have to undress to underwear, sometimes given a gown sometimes not.

So at my doctor i must strip donw to my bra and panties. no gown.

So I had my physical today. They gave me a gown and told me to put the opening in the front. After the HEENT they had me take the top of the gown off, it was difficult to keep it closed at the bottom. After palpating the abdommen they opend the rest of the gown.

Last exam I had, I was required to strip to my underpants, then remove them at the appropriate time for the genital exam. I have never had to strip naked at the start if an exam.

For my college freshman physical I was required to strip naked in the presence of the doctor.

At my school, we could keep our briefs on, and only had to drop them for the genital exam, but once we had a female (bitch) doctor who ordered us to be completely naked from the moment we entered here office !

My doctor use to have the nurse their while you were undressing , but now you have to wait for him, your story does sound exciting and embarrasing

Two for the price of one!

When we had our school exams in the 60's we had to strip off and change into our gym - PE - shorts. At least they did not have the slot down the front which a penis could protude through!

Whe we came to the genital check we had to drop our shorts to around our ankles which being baggy they did quite easily.

My wife says that they had to strip down to the 'gym knickers' which were thick material, brown and extended from navel to crotch level but with elastic round the leg holes. They had to strip down to these knickers which she said was all right until her breasts developed which were subject to a visual check but no palpation. Then a hand was slipped inside the nickers but they were not removed.

Going topless for the exam and in front of other girls waiting or leaving was, she said, most embarassing!

Absolutely correct, couldn't agree more!

The Doctor will see it all any way.

I've mostly kept my boxers on, but recently it's been naked 'cept the gown.

But here's a question: do you fold your clothes or dump them in a pile? Or a neat pile?

For my exams, I had to completely undress and was then given a decent size paper sheet. There was one time I had to walk down the hall with the sheet, because the doctor didn't believe the Blood Pressure reading from the one in the room I was in.

Once, my wife had to strip naked for a complete medical exam. I was with her during the whole exam and she was shy when she removed all her clothes and was reluctant to take off her underwear but the doctor told her that she had to remove all her clothes including her bra and panties...because he wanted to perform a thorough exam on her and it was the case. We were both surprised but that exam was necessary and finally my wife felt aroused while she was examined entirely naked judging by her wet pussy during the very easy bimanual exam with no lubricant...

In most cases it has always been stay fully clothed unless there was a specific problem down below.

Usually for a physical they just have to drop your pants and do the quick check on the groin. Then its a 50/50 chance at the turn around for the prostate exam.

One time seeing a woman doctor I had some testicular pain and the nurse had me undress from waist down and gave me a sheet to cover up. That was about the only time I ever got a cover up item.

I went in for my 1st yeast infection, I some how made it past 30 with out have ONE!? after about 2 weeks of the otc stuff not cutting it I finally went in, I didn't want to be there, didn't want to be told I had a yeast infection... I dont know it just seem insulting to me, like I wasn't taking care of myself and that's why I got it ...

Anyway I'm undressed waist down, with that damn paper covering me, and left in the room for over 30 minutes! I kept wondering if I should just get dressed and leave or at least poke my head out to see if I was forgotten. Finally the nurse comes in all I'm so sorry over and over, we had a "situation" but the Dr will be right in. Not sure of what the situation was, but it just was bad timing, the fact that I just sooooo did not want to be there.

Sure it was just a yeast infection and the Dr made me realize it just happens and not to make a big deal of it.

But the anxiety I built up, and then sitting there have naked was just horrible.
