Physical exams with a family member present

When I was 16 i had a physical exam with a endocrinologist, and my parents were present in the room. I'm handicaped, with a kind of congenit condition known as OI, that involves a delay development, and for that reason I reached puberty when I was 16. In that medical apointment, i was totally dressed, and lying back. The doctor, a atractive 40 years old man, begin to examine me, heart, lungs, ears, etc, then he examined my abdomen and when he was near my waist he said "I will look down there. Is there any hair yet??", i was embarrased because my dad was very close, but when i saw that he went a little far in the room i answered to the doctor, full of proud "YES", the pubic hair was very recent and i was happy for it. The doctor unzipped my pants, and lift the elastic of my boxers, he softly touched my balls with one finger and said "Good, there has been some testicular grown", I began to have an erection, but he quickly zipped my pants.

I was so excited, that when i came to home, i began to touch myself and that was my first masturbation wit cum. Thats the beggining of my unexplored med ted.

Never had a physical yet, but when I was like 9 or 10, I was given a suppository ( or 2 ) to relieve my fever. Mom was watching.

My mother always went with me till the age of 16 and stayed with me in the exam room.

Only ever had a physical twice and both times my mom was with me. and actually because i refused to even take any clothing off, i doubt it could have even been called a physical

Not since i was a kid. other than once as an adult with my wife present

My mom was in the room until i stopped seeing the ped at 18/19 (19 i think); id ask her to stay out but the dr insisted it was office policy

Until I was about 14, my mom would take my younger brother and I to physicals together. We'd both have to undress to our underpants; this included shoes and socks. We'd be examined in the room with my mom present, and this included genital exams. They were usually pretty quick and done lying down - for both my brother and I, the doctor would pull down our underwear after the abdominal exam and check each testicle, feel for hernias, and then quickly examine the penis. There wasn't much effort made to ensure privacy, we could see each other's exams, although we never talked about it.

All through my childhhod whenever i went to the docctor for a physical i would have aa rother or sister there also. usualy meant they had to get on too. i never gave it much thought about having someone else ther. i was more concerned with what might happen to me while i was there.

My mom would come in the exam room with me which was very embarrassing but for genital exam i would face the doc and just pretended she wasn't there. But when i turned 16 and could drive myself to the doctor, she did not come with me anymore, which was a relief. Never had a sibling to come in the exam room with me, but wish i had a sister because i was always curious at the time if girls had to pull down their panties.

I started taking my girls to the Dr when the oldest was 10 and the youngest was 5 due to my wife having to work and I was off on a weekday.

Only once did the nurse tell me I could come along. There was a instant look of horror on the face of my oldest.

I declined and informed the nurse if there was anything they needed I would be in the waiting room. The nurse smiled and nodded knowingly.

When we got back to the car my daughter told me in detail what had happened and thanked me for not being in the exam room.

This happened to me at the age of 47! I am 52 years old now, and while visiting my parents in West Virginia for Thanksgiving I scheduled a complete physical with my father's doctor. Not only was he my father's doctor but a family friend as well for nearly twenty years. Anyway, my father rode along in order to obtain a flu shot. The nurse, knowing my family as well, called us BOTH back at the same time. Since I was there for an exam, she had me to remove my shirt for the prelims ... weight/height, BP, temp, and EKG. During this time my father sat in a chair and simply viewed what was going on. I was then instructed to strip down to my underwear and wait for the doctor. I received a complete head to toe exam which included me being naked for the genital and rectal exam. After nearly thirty minutes, I was given a clean bill of health and my dad received his flu shot! To this day, I still masturbate when recalling those events that I will never forget. The only scenario that could have possibly been better was ... my father receiving an exam at the same time.

Mom always in the room with me during hernia exam up until about 14 years old. She was in hospital room during testicular ultrasound performed by a female tech who was training another female tech...unbelievable.

Up until I turned 18 years old one of my parents was always in the room for my physicals.

When I had a physical as a teenager my aunt came with me, because my mum was ill and asked her to go with me to the doc. She also came with me into the exam room and saw my exam - but this time it was my first full exam, so the doctor asked me to pull down my underpants. I saw my aunt (30 years at that time) looking at my thing as I had to lower my underpants and I got very hard. So I was standing there with a red face, the doctor feeling my fully erected penis and my scrotum and my young aunt sitting in front of me and looking at it interested - it was soo embarrassing

Dad was present during an abdominal exam done during a housecall. Embarrassing

Never had a parent present during an exam after I was about 10 years old. Our GP was insistent that mom leave the room after that.

Not exactly on topic, but close. I figured it was better to post here rather than start a whole new thread. I went back to college a couple of years ago. At the time I was in high school, the Hep B vaccine was not required, so I never recieved it (not even sure it was around then).

I had to get it fto go back to school. My mother, who is a nurse offered to get it from work and give them to me. I thought that was too weird. Alos, I couldn't believe she could just take the medication home like that. I always thought there were strict records and tracking that went along with any use of medications. I guess they're not as strict as I thought.

My mom took me to all doctors, which I had to see for regular exams (paediatrician, gastroenterologist, dermatologist and urologist), until I was 18 yrs. old.

She normally stayed inside the room and watched the exams and spoke to the doctors. Often I felt bad, because she often told my problems more dramatically.

Great stories! One of my family members always came with me but i never had any sort of embarrassing exam since i was about 5

My Mother attended and watched my exams from the age 12 to 18 years old. On occasion the nurse would be in the exam room assisting the doctor.

When I was about 10-12 years old I had a period of intermittent abdominal pains. My parents brought me to our regular GP. He appeared quite gruff and frightening to a child as he was very blunt and I was the recipient of many shots of penicillin for ear infections. The shots hurt like hell for a little kid.

Anyway, he examined me with my parents present and I don't remember all the details except a DRE! Very uncomfortable and embarrassing! This doctor was a big fan of enemas for kids and had gotten the bulb regularly for constipation. On this occasion, he said that I had "wind in the intestine", and ordered mineral oil enemas daily for a week. Since I hated enemas, this was not a happy day but my parents got the oil and gave me four ounces every evening for a week. I leaked oil daily and did not want to go to school and leak.

The treatment ended and so did the gas, but I had "stirrings" in my privates from these enemas and began to sneak enemas almost daily after school while my parents were at work. I don't remember when I upgraded to a bag, it must have been several years later.

I am male and took my niece to her first gyn appointment. Her mom was supposed to go with her but ended up being late. She didn't want me there but she didn't want to be left alone even more. We are prety good buddies. She made me promise not to look, and I stepped out of the room and waited by the door a few times till she told me it was ok to come back in. I think the Doc found it amusing, but she was very brave.

My parents attended all of my exams until like 12 or 13; then they started coming in sporadically. I honestly didn't care either way

Ok, I'm a guy here, but....my mother drug me kicking and screaming to the doctor's office for a full physical every time I had anything as much as a hang nail that needed attention. Even before dental work---full physical. I remember wondering what the heck that was needed for??? Total embarassment!

Hi for all (not in only 2 exam in my life) I had my mother or my father at my physical exams...One of my dreams is to see a sport ecg and stethoscope exam on a young lady (ore more youn lady 😉)...and listen the sound of a different heartbeat...but without parents in the room!!! 😉

I had a rectal exam every year starting at age 14 by the same female doctor. Mom stopped coming into the room after age 15, I ejaculated on the table during the rectal exam. I felt the doctor spent more time on the exam of my penis and rectal exam when mom was not in the room.

Hi john i bet ya were more comfortable with that exam without mom being present watching that. had to be very embarrasing for ya as teen.

Hello, I have been a single parent (father) with my daughter since she was under 2 years old. She has wanted me there, most every time and I am always attuned to her feelings and modesty. I step away while she changes and look away during the more personal procedures. Having grown up in a fairly modest family and especially after a extreme over reaction by my mother, when I was very young (6 or 8?) after being asked to go home from my friend's house next door, I have dealt with what I see as false modesty. It seemed natural, to be au naturel, in my mind but it took a long time to remove the shame, instilled while growing up. I wanted to bring up my daughter without being overly modest or uncomfortable with her body without crossing the line of, first, foremost, and always, being her dad. She is now an adult and on her own but we are still there for each other during hospital and even some office visits.

My mom took me to all doctors,male and female, which I had to see for needing exams (paediatrician, gastroenterologist, dermatologist).

She normally stayed inside the room and watched the exams and spoke to the doctors. Often I felt bad, because she often told my problems more dramatically.

few times i went alone

At about age 10, I remember being examined by a male GP with my mother in the room. I was terrified that he was going to expose me in front of her. As he worked his way down, palpating my abdomen, he unbuckled my belt, unsnapped my jeans and unzipped them. I was mortified! It turned out that he only slipped his fingers under the waistband of my briefs. He did not touch or expose anything embarrassing but it certainly sent a scare/thrill through me!
