Doctor, I Am Fully Naked!
Have you been through medical exam fully naked? How about cystoscopy and/or colonoscopy? What were the experiences like?

Return to DiscussionsMy-ologist, which, of course, is not URologist :-) has seen me several times, for necessary inspections... and yes, I have had both of those big word procedures. I was given a comfortable backless gown, each time, which was a complete waste of time, but, at least, it was a little warmer. I think I would have been comfortable, if I was nude, and awake, during those procedures, but I'm not sure I would want to see what they were doing... and I certainly would not want to twitch, at a critical time, during a delicate operation. :-/ ;-))
Last May I needed a heart cath to determine why my heart was acting up. They go in a puncture in the groin. so obviously things are exposed. First they asked me my level of pain/ discomfort tolerance. It is pretty high so I told them that. The readings are better the less drugs in my system. So I elected to be drug free. I wanted to know what was going on. I would have a IV in my arm so if things started bothering me they could drug me up quickly. The first step was to prep the groin area for the punctures. The nurse said she would try to keep me covered while she did it. I assured her, no worries I have no modesty . She shaved away and I tried not to giggle because it tickled.
Then the doc went to work with the puncture and running the tube up through my veins to look at my heart. The only thing I could feel was
the pressure of the doc's fingers on my groin to keep me from bleeding out. Each time the doc had down time waiting for a nurse to fetch something he and I chatted about his home country of India which I had just visited. All the while with everything exposed to the roomful of medical staff. He found some blockage and on the spot added to stents and while I was still prone on the table the nurse gave me my newest prescription to make my platelets slippery. I felt better as soon as I got out the next day. I could climb a hill without getting winded.
