This really doesn't involve a Doctor but one time I was in the hospital following surgery. I developed a problem and wasn't passing urine. The Doctor ordered a catheter to drain my bladder. A female nurse came to do the procedure and another very young woman came in with her. The nurse did the procedure and the other woman just watched without saying a word. I always wondered what the role was for this other woman. Was she just there to learn the procedure or was she there to check out my anatomy? Did they feel the nurse may need some protection or what? If she was there to learn, no real instructions were ever given.
My primary physician is female along with my dermatologist. I just had this conversation with her 2 weeks ago because I had a prostate question and the last exam before that she brought in a female nurse to observe the testicle and prostate exam portion. She said all the Drs in the office required another person present even if the Dr is a male. Gender played absolutely no role. On the flip side my dermatologist has me take off all my clothes but i have to put on the famous no back paper gown. Once she finishes some small talk and discusses the usual sun damage stuff and importance of sunscreen she puts on those magnifying light up goggles and has me remove the gown after she's done with the backside. She's very methodical and clinical and it's done in a few minutes. Just weird how there are different rules for different types of Drs.

Could just be a kinky nurse who enjoys looking at naked people.

OR, a witness to assure nothing sexual happened. Lawyers are always
lurking.
My experience is that in a complete physical includes for a hernia and prostate and the doctor is more concerned about not being present when I undress than when I am naked and getting examined. Prior to the exam the nurse asks me to strip down to my shorts. Maybe Ill just start out naked rather than in my shorts next time so the doctor doesn't need to leave the room.
Now that I go to urologist and dermatologist annually, my primary doctor doesn't have me undress at all. He even listens to my lungs and heart with my shirt on!
Urologist has me stay dressed until he arrives and then tells me to drop my pants and underwear for the exam. I don't wear underwear and he has never mentioned the lack of it.
Dermatologist's assistant tells me to strip to my underwear so I wear it when I go there, even though I never do otherwise. When the doctor comes in, after he has checked the rest of my body, he looks inside my underwear but does not have me remove it.
For the cardiologist, I say I am more comfortable shirtless for he EKG than with a rolled up shirt, so I take my shirt off and leave it off for the rest of the exam.
