Doctor visits

Just how undressed does your doctor require you to be when you have a checkup? I am overdue to have one, but I do remember other than a very brief drop my trousers for the prostatecheck I was fully clothed in street clothes. It seems to me that if a doctor wanted to do a thorough exam of your body and health more should be uncoveredJust curious what experiences others have had.thanks

I have a female "Primary Care Giver" and a female Dermatologist. I have a male Urologist.Allhave me strip completely nude during a complete examination. Anything less is just plain dumb. If your nude body offends your doctor, find a new doctor.

I agree with the statement that your doctor SHOULD expect you to be nude for a complete check-up. I did switch doctors when my physician felt he did not need to inspect my skin, genitals, and do a hernia exam.

It's been a long time since a doctor did a real, physical, exam for me. They seem mostly to focus on their keyboards. I had a severe prostate infection a couple of years ago, and saw two doctors, one of which diagnosed the flu, the other of which diagnosed correctly. Neither of them examined me, or even so much as touched me. When I went in for a colonoscopy, they seemed to want me to fuss with the silly robe, which I did (although obviously once I was under anesthesia they set it aside, so they must have thought the robe was for my benefit.)

Maybe if my doc years ago had had me remove my clothes he might not have told me what he did.I was sent to him by the company nurse who thought I might have bronchitis. My doc confirmed that I didthen proceeded to tell me what bronchitis is. And i quote " it is an inflammation around your uterus"and kept going. I think my startled look made him stop. I asked him if it had been a long day. His reply " it was a long night"it was 3 in the afternoon. Needless to say I never thought I would hear those words from my doctor.

Most of my military career, I have be accustomed to undressing down to my underwear and if nude, I am given a paper gown. It doesn't matter if its male or female, its all the same to me. Usually if given the gown, it usually ends up on the floor or table after 10-15 minutes simply because those are uncomfortable and its easier to be completely naked for the doctor to do the exam. There is nothing the doctors haven't seen so Im fine with it.

If your nude body offends your doctor, find a new doctor.What a small world. My situation here in Italy is exactly the same. Two females: primary and dermatologist and male urologist. (All free I might add) And half of my hematologists are male and half female. No clothes when it's a full exam in any case.

I had a checkup and while I was ready to get naked, my doc did it in sections - shirt off, then on, pants off, then on... I thought that was weird but oh well. At least we checked everything.

The female skin doctor I see at first had me put on that silly paper gown. After I explained that I go to nude beaches and resorts and wanted a complete exam and that nudity was a lifestyle and I was not embarrassed in the least she just said that actually the exam is much easier without the gown and she wished more patients had my outlook.
