Male patient, female doctor underwear question

Just curious if any male patients ever had a female doctor (or nurse) ever comment on your underwear (not nudity), regardless of whether the comment was negative, positive or maybe just something she said to ease your embarrassment?

Never in almost 60 years. It would be completely inappropriate unless they were medical in nature, like special support briefs, and the question was geared towards discovering a medical condition.

Never happened really. I agree with Jds4med, it would be totally inapproriate question.

Never happened to me. I have a female dermatologist and she pulls my underwear down to examine my ass and pubic area. She has never commented on my bikini underwear.

Never had any medical professional comment on my underwear, outside of saying to remove them.

I never have but I can't recall my (only and current as of ten-ish years) female Dr ever seeing me in them. I'm either in at least trousers or on occasion gown/sheet.

A few years back a had a young female doc say something like glad to see men arent wearing tighty whities anymore. Didnt bother me at all.

I was wearing panties and matching camisole at a urologist visit. When I lowered my pants she commented "matching underwear, cute."

That's NOT something I would ever recommend doing.

That sort of thing goes into your medical record for all to see--insurance companies, other doctors, office staff, etc.

You never know what people down the line are going to think, how they will react or how you will be treated by them.

Not really 1 time I was gonna get a cortisone shot in my knee and my jeans were too tight to roll up so the nurse asked if I had underwear on and after I said yes she asked if I needed a towel to put over me and I said no I'm ok. So she tells me to lower my jeans and she preps the area while we wait on the doc. Well the doc gets held up and we are chatting with my jeans down and it's the usual chit chat about the weather and stuff so nothing is getting "bigger" but I do catch her taking a look see. I have on just regular briefs. So she notices I saw her looking at me and she gets up and gets a towel and says "we" need this. I don't know how long we waited before doc came in but she stayed in there the whole time which I thought was a little strange

I can't imagine a doc, male or female, would do that. It's none of their business what kind of underwear you wear

No comments, but a couple of double takes with their eyes if I'm in a thong, which I have been a few times.

Guess not many guys wear them?

I like them, but do usually wear boxers if I know I'm likely to have to undress

My doctor actually did comment about the importance of being comfortable and dry as I do have a tendency to sweat a little in the groin area and boxer briefs were a good choice of underwear.

The only comment I ever got on underwear by a physician was from a (female) military doctor who asked me to pull down my briefs.

The only time my doctor commented on my underwear was when he told me to make sure my underwear are somewhat loose to let air circulate through them.

To comment on a patient's underwear would be highly inappropriate for any doctor to comment on. Any male who wears female underwear is asking for trouble down the line if it is noted in the chart.

There are only 2 instances where my undergarments were mentioned. Once by a male allergist when I was about 10. He had never seen me, so he did a complete physical. Since the primary rash (turns out I'm allergic to grass) was on my trunk, when he asked me to remove my trousers, both my mother and myself argued, since we did not see the need for the excess level of undress. His only reply was "Does he have clean underwear on?" to which my mother answered "He better have." Regardless, he got his way. Now I know why he wanted to examine me so thoroughly, but at the time it was rather embarrassing.

The second instance was when the VA, finally assigned me a permanent PCC, a female NP. On the first appointment, I told her that because I have has a history of epididymitis, I found the only underwear that gives me adequate support and comfort was Lycra trunks. I don't know why I thought it was necessary to inform her of this, but she did make note of it.

Never by a female doctor, but a male doctor did chuckle and say my briefs were very brief and lack the ability to keep me warm.

Yes once when i consulted a nurse and she said my jock area, my penis to be exact, itch was possibly coaused by my wearing of too many layers down there

No remarks on them, ever. Usually the only thing said about them is, "I'm going to slide your underwear down now to check your genitals" or "Please remove your underwear for the next part of the exam," or similar.

I've been wearing boxer briefs to the all my doctor visits for the past ten years.

I haven't had female doctors for physical exams so do not know how likely it is for a female doc to examine a male patient who is in his underwear only. I have seen stories here of male patients who are told to strip down to their underpants for exams by female docs but am curious about whether that is really true or if it is, how often that really happens in real life. The only female doc that I have had was a dermatologist years ago who had all patients in gowns without underwear for skin exams so that could be the usual way in real life or might not be. Who has a female primary care doctor today that has male patients in underwear only for exams? Who has a female primary care doc today who always has patients in gown without underwear? It won't be scientific surveying but if people are honest, it will partly answer this question.

In late 80's I joined the British Army, prior to being sworn in I had my medical (Physical Examination) which was done at a civil service building on Northumberland Avenue, walking distance between Trafalgar Square and Admiralty Arch. I had no idea what to expect, in those days it was common for a civilian to do your army medical. When I arrived it was a middle aged woman, who was very friendly, I explained that I had a phobia and fear of doctors, she asked me to undress down to my underwear, I didn't think that was a big deal, as its no worse than being at the beach or swimming pool. I was very patriotic that day and wore Union Jack Boxer shorts, she commented and giggled when she saw them, the medical took about 10-15 minutes, the boxers stayed on, there was no exposure of anything below the waist. She was more interested in my medical history of which there was and still is none.

Though I cross dress, i've never worn panties to a physical.

Why do some of you say that may cause trouble down the road?

I also agree that the comment would not be appropriate. That being said i will address the issue of female examiners and male patients.

I have had borh male and female examiners do brief only at start and i have had a female also do a nude under gown from start.

I have also had examiners do alleged physicals where nothing came off.

So it isn't as much a factor of examiner gender but of the doctor's preferences as to extent and time in my opinion.

I once had a female doctor comment on my boxers after I lowered them for a genital exam. They were red and it happened to be Valentines Day.

I was figuring you might try humming a few lines of the Internationale on May Day, you know, along the lines of: 'arise ye wretched of the Earth ...' and so on ... for the guys with ED maybe ... ha ha ...
