Anyone ever have an unexpected physical exam?

When I was in college, I had what I thought was a minor health issue (a swollen gland in my neck) but it did not go away for a couple of weeks. My girlfriend made me go to the student medical center to have it checked out I saw a young doctor there who didn't do any exam other than ask me some questions and look at the swollen spot on my neck. He thought that it was probably not anything to worry about but he wasn't sure. So he referred me to an internist who had an office off campus and who had agreed to accept referrals of students and charge the university medical center. I wasn't expecting to see another doctor and wasn't sure what an internist was. I took the referral slip with the internist's phone number and, after my next class, called his office to see when I could get an appointment.

I was surprised when the internist's receptionist told me that the doctor had an open appointment time that afternoon. I still had two more classes but the time that she offered me was after those. She told me that the doctor needed about an hour for his first-time patient appointments so I was wondering why that was.

I arrived at the internist's small office a few blocks from the campus and the small waiting room was empty, except for me. After checking in with the receptionist, I waited a few minutes before the doctor opened a door and greeted me. He took me back to an exam room. I didn't expect more to happen than had happened at the student medical center but I wasn't nervous about seeing this doctor at all. He asked me a lot of questions about my medical history, my family medical history and some about the swollen gland in my neck. I was surprised about the questions but figured that I couldn't have anything seriously wrong with me at age 20.

Then I did get a surprise. The internist told me that he needed to do an exam and pulled out one of those exam gowns from a drawer underneath the exam table. He told me to take everything off and put the gown on. I remember him saying, "Undress completely including your underwear and socks and put the gown on with the open part in the back". He said that he would be back in the room in a minute and that, once I was changed, I should have a seat on the exam table. I was shocked to be getting an exam and having to change into a gown but I hurriedly stripped down and put the gown on to cover my front. I was worried that he might come back in the exam room while I was changing and I had trouble figuring out how to tie the gown in the back because I had never worn a gown for an exam before. I got the top tie done at the back of my neck but not the middle tie. I sat up on the table and waited for a minute or two until the doctor came back in the room. I had left all my clothes piled on a chair and wondered whether I should have hung my shirt and jeans on a hook somewhere.

The internist started with my head and neck and checked out the lump in my neck. He checked my eyes, ears, nose and neck and then lowered the top half of the gown to my waist so he could listen to my heart and lungs. When he put his stethoscope on my back, I was thinking that my bare rear was showing. Then the doctor had me lie down on my back on the table and pushed on my stomach and tapped my chest. He then covered my top half with the gown and lifted the lower half up so that it was now lying on my chest and my bottom half was exposed. He checked my feet and legs and then around my groin. He didn't check me for a hernia in the usual way. He just moved my weiner out of the way and felt my balls while I was still lying on my back.

Then the internist pulled the gown back down over my lower half and asked me to sit up slowly and retry the gown tie at my neck. He asked me to get off of the table. I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Once I was standing in front of him, the doctor told me to turn around and face the table. Then he told me to bend over the table and put my chest on it. I did as he said and was self-conscious that the gown was open in the back and my butt was totally exposed as I bent over the table. He told me that he needed to check my rear. I thought that he meant that he was going to look, but he put on one of those exam gloves and put some lubrication on it. I was watching him as he did this at a small counter near the head of the exam table. He came back to me and inserted his very large finger in my rear. I was totally shocked to have this done for the first time. He felt around and I had a feeling like I was going to pee but I didn't. When he pulled his finger out, he told me to sit back on the exam table. I am sure that I had a red face from embarrassment but he didn't seem to notice. He told me that he would see me again in two days but that he wanted to run some blood tests first and that the nurse would be right in.

He sent the nurse in to draw some blood from me while I was still in the gown. When she was finished, she told me that I could get dressed. I got out of the gown and put my clothes back on and left his office.

When I got back to my apartment, my girlfriend was there and wanted to know what happened. I told her that I had seen the internist and that he had done an exam, but that I did not know yet what he thought. She was curious about what happened at the doctor's office but I didn't tell her the whole story because I was really embarrassed. I was nervous about telling her about the whole thing even though I thought that my exam was more like what she experienced during her checkups. I think that she guessed that I had had a very thorough exam. Her dad was a doctor in her hometown so she knew alot about medical exams and wanted to go to medical school. She kept bringing up the subject of my doctor visit over the next week or two and I know that she talked to her dad about my situation once on the phone. Gradually, I told her more, especially about being totally surprised to get a full exam for the first time.

I saw the doctor a couple of days after this first visit and he thought that my swollen neck was just a minor infection and gave me an antibiotic cream to put on it. I was fine in a week.

Thanks for sharing David. Nothing like that ever happened to me.... I can understand your surprise. Did you feel a bit violated, or was the thought of the exam mildly pleasurable?

I did not find the exam mildly pleasurable at all. I was really shocked to be examined that thoroughly and unexpectedly. I had had physical exams, including group sports exams, before college, but this was my first exam that way. It was very different than if I had known in advance that I was going to get examined. I didn't really understand why this doctor needed to do a full exam when I had only a swollen gland in my neck. The whole undressing deal and wearing the gown was another surprise. Getting a rectal exam and not knowing about that was the biggest deal. My college girlfriend said that internists are diagnostic doctors so they are more thorough than regular practice docs.

David, I understand being surprised at getting a physical when you weren't expecting one, but once the doctor told you that you were getting a physical, why were you so surprised to get undressed? If you were really modest, I can understand that. But you had a girlfriend at that time so you were undressing in front of her, right? And you had been to a doctor before so why do you think that you were so surprised to strip down for the exam and wear a gown? Also, did the doctor explain the rectal exam before he did that? Or did he say nothing about what he was going to do? Did you ever tell your girlfriend that you had gotten a rectal or describe your exam to her the way you did here?

I'll be even more blunt; you were at this particular doctor for the first time. What in heaven's name did you think was going to happen? I'm afraid the days when the doctor passed a divining rod over the patient and hoped for the best are gone.

My GP is retiring, and in a week I will have my first appointment with an internist that I've never seen before. I am a new patient and I fully expect that I will have to strip down to nothing and be poked and prodded six ways to Sunday. Frankly, I'd be disappointed if he did anything less, and not from a kinky fetish standpoint. That's just good medical practice.

I'm not trying to speak for David, but he was quite young and perhaps a bit inexperienced when he went for the exam. I suspect the doctor didn't explain properly what he was doing. That often happens. I just hope that this experience won't turn David off rectal examinations altogether. Maybe the fact that he has joined this site gives us some hope that it hasn't.

I get nervous when I go to new doctors - but expect an exam of some sort to be performed.

However, it is one of my fantasies to be caught off guard by an exam, meaning the exam is unexpected. For example, going in for a foot problem (no clothes expected to be taken off), and ending up receiving vaccinations that are over due as well as a physical that needed to be done.

I did have one experience with a real doc. I had problems with ingrown toenails on my big toes on both feet. I had the first one removed off my left big toe when the toe was really infected. Later on, about a year later, my right toe started having problems and before it became infected, I decided to have the nail taken care of. I went back to the same doctor I had used before, and he did ask me about my left foot and since it had been a year, he wanted to check how the left one had healed over before doing the right one. I had only expected to get the right one tended to.... so to have him request that I show my other foot... was unexpected.

Another unexpected thing I had happen to me was getting a rectal exam during a routine gyno exam. I had not been aware that a rectal exam would be performed, and had no prior warning to it happening. Going in for a routine gyno, I had only expected the speculum part. Looking back on it, it kinda thrills me to feel that it was unexpected.

David, I understand being surprised at getting a physical when you weren't expecting one, but once the doctor told you that you were getting a physical, why were you so surprised to get undressed? If you were really modest, I can understand that. But you had a girlfriend at that time so you were undressing in front of her, right? And you had been to a doctor before so why do you think that you were so surprised to strip down for the exam and wear a gown? Also, did the doctor explain the rectal exam before he did that? Or did he say nothing about what he was going to do? Did you ever tell your girlfriend that you had gotten a rectal or describe your exam to her the way you did here?

I think that I was surprised at the internist because the student medical center doctor hadn't done an exam and I wasn't expecting one from this doctor. I didn't even know what an internist was. No, I wasn't that modest at all. I had physicals when I was a kid where I was undressed to my underwear. I had two brothers and we were undressed in front of each other every day when we were growing up.

I showered with other guys in school and for sports so stripping down was not the biggest deal for me. Yeah, I had a girlfriend. But I had never worn a gown like that at a doctor's office before and I was nervous about wearing it right and being nude under it. I was naive I guess at age 20 about what might happen at a doctor's when I thought that the lump on my neck was not that big a deal.

Getting a rectal exam for the first time was the biggest shock. I didn't know what that was and the doctor didn't explain anything about it other than tell me to bend over the exam table and that he was going to check my rear. If I was thinking anything at all, I guess I was thinking that he was going to look back there. I know that I saw him put on the glove and put some lubrication on it but that part still didn't tell me anything about what was about to happen. I was just glad that the whole thing was done fast. I really thought that I was going to pee because it felt that way and didn't understand what was happening. I know that I sound defensive but it was just totally new to me.

Thanks David for answering my questions. Did you ever tell your girlfriend what happened during your exam that time? You said that she asked you about it and seemed very interested about what happened to you. Did you tell all? If you did, what did she say about it?

When I was 18 I went for what I thought was just a drug test for my first full time job out of high school. I showed up at the occupational health clinic and took said drug test. Just before I was about to leave a nurse said wait, your employer just called, they need you to have a physical too because of the type of work you will be doing. Their human resources office forgot to tell you. I was caught off guard, but knew I had to if I wanted the job.

So off I went with the nurse to the exam room, she took my blood pressure, height and weight, pulse and temp,she told me to undress to my undershorts and socks and the doctor will be in shortly. The doctor came in and checked eyes, ears, nose and throat, listened to my heart and lungs, had me lay back and checked my abdomen, had me sit up and checked my reflexes, then had me stand up and do some squats, bend over and touch my toes.

Then I saw him putting on a latex glove and I thought wow, all this for a job. He told me to lower my undershorts, placed two fingers into my inguinal canal and said turn your head and cough, then repeated on the other inguinal canal, he then told me I passed my physical and that I could get dressed, i was kind of in shock the rest of the day. When I started my new job there were a couple of new female coworkers who had the same job as me, they were young like me and quite attractive. My imagination went wild wondering just how thorough their physicals were, whether they had hernia checks or even pelvic exams. I think that is what started my medfet.

My girlfriend talked me into telling her about that surprise physical by saying that she was interested in medicine and going to medical school and that, of course, her dad was a doctor so she was not shy about exams and knew about female exams, but not the other. She was curious about how boys were examined and eventually I gave in and answered her questions while we were in bed the next morning after my exam.

She asked how much I was undressed and I told her that. She asked about what all the doctor did and at first I told her "just the standard stuff" but she got me to tell her about the internist checking my balls. I wasn't going to mention the rectal exam at all but when I skipped that part she asked me whether the doctor had checked my bottom. I told her "yes" but not how. She asked me if I had gotten a "rectal" and I told her "yes". She then told me that she had rectal exams as part of her annual pelvic exams and that she got those while laying on her back with her legs in the stirrups that were attached to the table. I told her that I definitely wasn't in any stirrups.

Eventually she got me to tell her that I was bent over the exam table while the doctor had his finger in my rear. She thought that it was weird that I was bent over like I was getting a spanking, which I hadn't thought about. I skipped the part about feeling like I was going to pee because that seemed too weird. My girlfriend was definitely turned-on by these details. She was very interested in playing doctor after that.

Have you had other rectal exams David? Did you feel OK about them?

I did not have another rectal exam for several years after that experience. I was young enough to avoid seeing doctors for some time. I have had a few rectals over the years. The second one surprised me although the physical exam overall was not a surprise. I wasn't expecting a thorough exam like that again. I was in my late 20s the second time. Insurance physical exam and the insurance company picked the doctor.

After the first few, I got use to this exam and now expect it and don't worry about it too much. Most doctors that I have seen since my 20s do one routinely.

Once, long ago, I had to have some shrapnel removed from my elbow. As is always the case, I was instructed to appear by 9:00 AM at the local Veterans Hospital for an operation that wouldn't happen until the next day. After being assigned a bed a doctor showed up, introduced himself and did a cursory exam in which a DRE was performed. About an hour later another doc showed up and said he was my new doctor, two hours later yet another doctor showed up and the whole thing was repeated for the third time. At this time my pooter was beginning to feel sore.

That night a snow storm hit and it was severe enough that travel was dangerous and as a result I was assigned another doctor and, guess what, another DRE. I really think that with most of the patients being WW I vets the doctors were fascinated with young meat. The crazy thing about the whole event was that I was wheeled to the OR theater on a gurney and was in the hall outside of several ORs for a long time when a doctor showed up and asked me what I was doing there. When I told him why I was there he looked at his watch an said he had enough time to do the operation and with no further ado I was operated on. After the operation I was wheeled back to my room and found another vet in my bed, it seems that they thought I had been discharged and I was given my clothes and discharged. Ain't life funny.

Sounds like typical military medicine to me. You're lucky they didn't just leave you there in the hallway, assume you had expired, and wheel you off to the morgue.

My senior year of highschool we had random physicals for track. We all had to have one if we were on the team. After practice we showered and as we were getting dressed, coach said to keep our clothes off and line up to be checked. Pretty routine check, but a few guys for erections.

In 1976, I was required to have a complete physical as a condition of employment. Ths exam involved stripping to my shorts and pulling them down for a hernia check. I was not expecting the exam and did not especially like it, as it was done by a doctor I had never met before.

When I was fourteen, I was put in a psychiatric ward, after doing some crazy teenage things (drugs, running away, etc).

When they found out I was sexually active, they insisted that I have a complete gynecological exam. Except when they did it, they had the doctor come into my room to do it. I wasn't given a gown or anything, and the bed didn't have stirrups. I had to undress from the waist down and use my blanket as a drape. It was my first gyno exam, and I remember feeling extremely embarassed and humiliated. The doctor had a nurse to help her, but the nurse didn't really do much except observe from the end of the bed. The doctor had me lay back in frog leg position, and pushed the blanket up so that I was fully exposed with my legs open and vulva fully displayed. I almost cried, I was so embarassed. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if the nurse hadn't been standing there gawking at my privates.

The whole thing didn't take more than a few minutes, but it felt like forever.

Earlier this week my wife had a followup appointment with our family doctor for issues with her diabetes and depression. While telling the Dr. what prescriptions she needed refills for, she also told her she needed an order for a mammogram. After discussing her glucose levels, the Dr. told my wife to hop up on the exam table and she started checking her eyes, ears, nose and throat. Then she got the stethoscope out and started listening to her heart and lungs.

Then she totally surprised my wife by telling her that she was going to do a breast exam and started to pull up my wife's shirt (she wasn't in a gown because she wasn't expecting anything but a basic exam). In this exam room, I am sitting almost right next to the table so I had a front row seat to the whole procedure. The Dr. had my wife put her hands above her head while sitting up and visually examined her breasts, then had her lie back and with a circular motion she examined each breast. The Dr. then palpitated my wife's abdominal area, checked her feet and said everything looked good and she wanted to see her back in a couple of months because she had changed one of her prescriptions.

Later that day my wife told me she was totally surprised by the breast exam because she is scheduled to have her exam with the gynecologist in just two weeks. I will be going with her to that one also and will let you know how it went. It is with a doctor I have not met, she had an unexpected exam last year with her that I unfortunately missed, but I won't this year.

I had pain in stomach so i visit doctor. Doctor ask some question and said me lie down on the bed. He press my belly and suddenly he start to unzip my pant and pull down my underwear. Then start to check my dick and balls.

I was in high school and got called down to the nurses office. I wasn't sure what it was for and they

told me I had to have a physical. It caught me totally by surprise. Of course there was a hernia exam -

it was the first one I ever had.

When I was around 11-12 I went to doctor for my neck problem. This doctor is so busy sometimes he saw 2-3 clients same time. I was about to finish from second door another lady entered. The doctor need to make ecg for her. The assistant doctor putting those instrument all over body with cloth. When the main doctor see he just unbutton the shirt of her and start to check. She had no bra. I was watching all the things which turn me on.

Around age 11 I went to a Boy Scout Camp which had a prerequisite of a physical exam form which needed to be completed. I went to the doctor expecting a simple check of listening to the lungs and heart and getting the form signed. Little did I know that it entailed a full physical exam including my penis and testicles.

Last week I went to our local hospital for what they call "pre-operation-procedure" which means lots of medical questions and a physical examination before any operation. I am scheduled to have an operation in a week. They are going to remove some non-cancer small tumor just under my belly button. At the beginning I had to fill this long medical questioner and one of the questions was about former surgeries. I had few over the years and the earliest was at age 12 to get an undescended testicle into the scrotum.

The form asks about the nature of the surgery and the year it was done. So, I wrote about all the surgeries I had (the scrotum, appendicitis, badly broken leg during the army and nose cavities 10 years ago). When the doctor, I think it was an intern, came to examine me he first read the form I gave him and then asked me some details and then asked me to take my shirt of and lay on the table. He did all what I expected for – B/P, heart, lungs etc and then he touched my scars from the appendicitis operation and said it's ok and said he needed to see the operation scars on my leg and – he hesitated a little – on my scrotum. I was really surprised but said nothing just open my trousers and lowered my briefs so he can see what he needed to see.

He found the long scar on my leg and touched it and then palpated my scrotum for few seconds but didn't manage to find the old scar. He said thank you, you can dress up now and it was over. I did feel a bit strange about it and I'm not sure was it really necessary at all. It reminded me that in the few years after I had my testicle brought to place, it seem that every visit to whatever doctor ended with me on my back on the table and my testicles are being examined. I guess because it was written on my medical file that went with me that every new doctor needed to see and check it. The last time was at my physicals for sport at the university. I was 24 I think. Never happened again till last week.

"Normbinnings": you write this relation "

"My senior year of highschool we had random physicals for track. We all had to have one if we were on the team. After practice we showered and as we were getting dressed, coach said to keep our clothes off and line up to be checked. Pretty routine check, but a few guys for erections".

were you completely naked for that unexpected physical in your senior yerar school in front of the coach first and doctor or nurses after?

Unexpected breast exam by a Cardiologist

Some years ago an ex girlfriend of mine had complains of arrytmia, palpitations and tachycardia. She was 24 at the time .Her GP ( female ) sended her to see a Cardiologist ( male he was about 50 ).

While there the cardiologist had her only in panties and conducted a full cardiology exam:Eyes and mouth, BP ( at both arms and 2 positions ) , all pulses: radial,brachial,dorsalis pedis and tibialis posteriour.Then carotid and apical palpation while she was still seated.

He then listened very well her lungs and then heart. Heart ausculation was repeated with her laying down and with her at left lateral position ( and palpated appex again at that position ).

With her laying down again he palpated all the precordium checking for thrills.Then UNEXPECTALY he asked her permission to do a breast palpation. She said yes had to put hands behind neck and he was very thorough doing it

.ECG and heart ultrasound were next.

I went to my doctor today, for a semi-annual visit. I used to have high blood pressure, and he wants me to come back every six months or so just to make sure it's not creeping back. I lost a lot of weight, changed my diet, exercise a lot now. So I wait in the examining room, checking my emails. Nurse comes in, take the pressure (it's fine) and says the doctor will be in soon.

These sessions are usually perfunctory. We talk, he takes my pressure, listens to my heartbeat, writes a script for blood work. Today, though, we talked a lot, about stress, family, diet, etc. Then he said "you know, the last couple of times you were here, it was sort of a drive-by shooting. I'd like to spend a little more time today. You up to it?" I nodded, I wasn't really, but what could I say? I'm in my early 40s, so I guessed I should go ahead with whatever he wanted. "Good," he said. "Why don't you just get your clothes off and we'll take a good look at you."

He just sat at the desk, typing something into his computer. So I started to undress. When I was down to my shorts, I paused. He looked up and said, "lose those, too. I'd ask you to take 'em off later anyway." So I shrugged and stripped.

With me naked on the table, he took his time, feeling glands, listening to heart and lungs, had me lie down, felt around my abdomen, etc. Then I had to stand up. Instead of dropping my shorts and standing on the ledge, I was already in my birthday suit. Got to say, it felt comfortable by this point. He asked me to come over, get off the stool. He usually just did the cough and squeeze my testicles bit. This time he pulled on my penis, slipped the foreskin back and forth, and felt it up and down and squeezed the end. Then the usual testicle exam and hernia thing.

Next up, of course, was the prostate exam. In the past, fast in and out. This time, he spread the cheeks, looked and felt around, and then in, telling me to breath hard. He was in there for awhile, really squeezing down on my prostate. I got up on my toes. "Easy, guy, almost over." When he finished, he had me turn around and squeezed the penis again, looking for a discharge. He had me come over while he finished entering exam findings in his computer. Then he squeezed my butt and said, "it looks okay. Get dressed and I'll write out some scripts for bloodwork and a couple of other tests."

I totally didn't expect this, but I guess it was a good thing. It's rare to get this kind of treatment these days.

Work sent me for a DOT exam. I did not know about this exam until I showed up for work that day. It was a cold day and I had dressed for it. At the exam the NP went over the list she had for such and exam. She asked me, at one point, to lay back on the table. She came over to me and pressed on my hips. She sensed my multiple layers and questioned me.

I told her I work outside and am well dressed for the cold day. She asked what layers I had on. I had my jeans on over some kakis, sweat pants and long underwear. She said all those layers needed to come off. She stood back and as I hesitated she informed me she had work to do to hurry it up. She said she would be right back and to remove all layers including the long underwear. So I did. She came back into the room ushering in a med student to learn how these exams go. Little did she know I was naked from the waist down.

The student was in shock and the nurse was pissed. She asked why I took off my underwear. I told her she said to remove the long underwear. She then said, "oh, you dont wear shorts under them?" Nope. She continued the exam and let the student attempt the same tests. I was half naked, waist down, for about 20 min with the 2 women in the room. When they left the room for me to get dressed they left the door open. The door opened into the hallway. I walked half out of the room and must have been seen half naked by at least 3 other people.

When I was 15 or 16 years old I was often sick with influenza. One day I went to the family doctor. My doctor was an elderly large man, always tired and nervous. After listening to my complaints, he ordered me to undress to my underwear. I undressed and went to the table where he sat. He began to listen to my lungs from the back. I must say that on my lower back there are two symmetrical points, which I have from birth. He noticed it and asked: What is it? Have you been injured? I replied that I have them all my life. The doctor began to feel these points and the lower back. Then he ordered to take off panties to my knees. He then told me to bend forward. After that he ordered to turn around. It was very unpleasant. He finally sent me to orthopedist.

Not an unexpected full physical but an unexpected rectal exam once. I went to the doctor because of pain in my groin that I thought might be a hernia. Didn't have to fully undressed but dropped my jeans and briefs for the standard hernia and thought that was it when the doctor said, "I don't feel anything like a hernia." But then the doctor had me bend over the exam table with my pants still down and gave me a rectal to check my prostate in case it was infected. It wasn't. But still, I walked out of his office completely surprised by what happened.
