RE: Doctor visits

Like many I don't understand the paper gown thing. We went to the wife's Gyno appt. Nurse hands her a paper gown, told to take her clothes off and put this on. Dr. comes in having to move it out of the way for her complete exam.
I must be missing something cause I don't get it.

I don't know if it is from his training or the fact that he is from the middle east, but my doctor seems to be more uncomfortable with full nudity than I am. I am usually asked to strip to my underwear and offered a gown. I sometimes indicate that I really don't need it and that seems to be OK. But the doctor will ask me to lie on my back for an abdominal exam and placefolded blanket over my pubic area even though I am wearing my briefs. When doing the prostate exam, he prefers to have me on my side and just slip the shorts down. This last time, I just took them off. It was easier than struggling with them and easier to clean up the excess lubricant.
The dermatologists will have me strip to my underwear and then pull the waist band out to do their visual exam. I suppose I could offer to strip completely if it made things easier for them.
The gowns are a joke, they tend to fall off or get in the way and I end up sitting there with this pile of cloth in my lap.

Just how undressed does your doctor require you to bewhen you have a checkup? I am overdue to have one, butI do remember other than a very brief drop my trousers for theprostatecheck I was fully clothed in street clothes. It seems to me that if a doctor wanted to do a thorough examof your body and health more should be uncoveredJust curious whatexperiences others have had.thanks
My doctor has me fully undress. I'll stand there nude while
he does his thing. Then sometimes, we'll carry on a
conversation while I'm still nude. It doesn't bother me in
the least.

I just did my annual physical and was told to strip to my skivvies and put on that paper robe. I told the nurse that I didn't wear underwear and she no problem, you still have to wear the robe. I did and the exam went on without a hitch.

At my last doctors visit, the only article of clothing had me remove was my socks! He listened to my heart and everything through my shirt. It was really strange. How could this be an effective checkup? I'm fair skinned too and need to keep up with any skin damage.

I had my yearly physical two hours ago. A new young female medical assistant told me to "disrobe, leave your under garments on and put on this gown opening to the back." I asked, "you want me to leave my underwear on?" She indignantly said "yes, your here for a physical examination."Ireplied "and you want me to leave my underwear on?" Sheforcefullysaid, "yes."I laughed and said "That's not how she (the Doctor) does it." She looked confused and softly said "ok" and left. I stripped and slipped into the robe as I have been doing for over 20 years with this Doctor.

Both my Doctors are female, and have often examined me naked from the waist down. When I say naked from the waist down, I mean me, not the Doctor.

RE: Doctor visits

My male Dr. left the practice. I needed a new PCP and I requested it be a lady. I was assigned the one that was PCP to my late wife.
At the first visit I was placed in the exam room and waited. The Dr. arrived and had a lady Intern. The Dr. asked if I minded if the lady intern watched and learned. No problem with me. She then said they would step out of the room wile I undressed and she handed me a gown. I asked why they were stepping out since they would see all of me when they came back in. Policy. When undressed they re-entered the exam room to a nude me. Didn't act surprised and did an exam. Then did vitals at the end. I thought that vitals were usually first, but OK , new Dr.
She took my blood pressure and looked concerned. Having not yet taken a history yet she didn't know I run 140/90. Concerned, she took it again. She looked very concerned. She then says to me "Your blood pressure is a little high." I said to her "What did you expect? I'm in a little room with two pretty lady's who just told me to take off all my clothes. This is a guys dream."The Dr. cracked a small smile and the Intern didn't know weather to laugh or be embarrassed.
She has been a great Dr. ever since.

I have a female doctor and when I go for my physical she always tells me to undress and lay on the table. When she comes back she always brings a nurse in with her. The first time I went to her and she started to do the exam and started to push my abdomen I got an erection in front of her and the nurse. She told me to not worry that happens sometimes the first couple of times. She was right after the second check up I didn't get an erection anymore in front of her and the nurse.
