Doctor, I Am Fully Naked!
Have you been through medical exam fully naked? How about cystoscopy and/or colonoscopy? What were the experiences like? [CYSTOSCOPY is the procedure where a doctor examines the lining of the bladder and the urethra by a cystoscope into the penis. COLONOSCOPY is the procedure where a doctor examines the colon (large intestine) and rectum by inserting a colonoscope (a long, flexible tube) into the...

Exam of skin
Return to DiscussionsYeah I've actually been very disappointed not that I actually want to appear totally nude but I've gone for several skin checks where very little of my body has been exposed so I don't feel like I'm getting a very good exam what does everyone think about that

How little is exposed?
I've seen the same dermatologist for 7 years. I told him on my first appointment that I'm a nudist and get overall sun and wanted him to check my entire body. I wear my underwear while he does the exam (I don't wear a gown). Then he asks me to pull my underwear down and he thoroughly checks my genitals and ass, just like he checks the rest of my body.
I had an interesting conversation with my dermatologists new assistant yesterday
Assistant "Why are you here?
Me "Full body check"
Assistant "Will you be removing any clothing?" (How could I get a full body examination if I didn't?)
Me "Yes, everything."
Assistant "OK. Take off everything but your underwear and cover with this drape."
I then get naked as I always do for the dermatologist.
I have just decided that the next time I go for a skin exam, which will be this July, I am going to make the request myself that I be completely naked. They often have a female nurse doing the entrance prep and they say to keep my underwear on, or they have me put a jonny on. Its funny its different al the time. The first two times I ever went for full body scans in the dermatologist's office, he had me get completely nude. He had me first sitting up, then lying back, down and turning over. I found both exams to be very thorough. That second time, he brought a male assistant (he was an intern trainee) to observe my whole exam. He asked if I minded and, of course I didn't and told him I was very comfortable with nudity. One thing that stood out from that second visit was how much he had me move my own body so much. I think he used his hands on me on first visit, but the second time he had me raising my arms to check my arm pits. He had me use my own hands and used the expressions "can you lift your ball sack for me please?" and "can you spread your butt cheeks for me please?" I was kind of amused that he used those specific kind of common expressions. For subsequent visits, I have always seen another man, an assistant, and he has had me keep my underwear on. He usually has a woman with him, so maybe that's the reason? He does have me lower them briefly, but I always feel like I'm not getting as thorough a check. I noticed the first couple of times, he didn't check my groin area much, because he couldn't have. I was standing with my briefs lowered mid-thigh. So, subsequently, I have taken them down and stepped out of them and intentionally lifted my legs. So, I'm almost directing what they're able to check. I'm very fair, have alot of body hair and I've had some skin damage requiring removal. I want the most thorough check I can get. I went commando once and told the nurse and she asked me to put on a hospital gown. I way preferred the way the doctor did it before he had all these younger assistants but he doesn't do the routine exams any more.
I'm a nurse and recently had a patient in short-stay rehab after a hip and knee replacement. This guy had a classically abnormal mole on his lower back and, upon my own cursory inspection, some questionable skin abnormalities around the base of his neck, shoulders, and buttocks. We had a dermatology nurse practitioner come evaluate him and he was wearing only a hospital gown which he dropped when she was in the room. The nurse practitioner bolted out of the room to find me (his nurse) and demanded that I "drape" the patient and remain there to cover and uncover only the "areas of concern". Now, I am able to recognize potential abnormalities that require further assessment, but ultimately I don't necessarily know what is a true "concern". This medical professional stated to me that it "wasn't appropriate for the patient to expose himself" and that "...it's not necessary to inspect private parts."
She would not do a complete head-to-toe skin exam. It was so odd and I suspect she was reacting to the fact that the patient spontaneously removed his gown and was nude. I hope so anyway.

Interesting. I think you might be right. I wonder if the reason my doctor's office supplies gowns now is because the nurses and attendants are just concerned about nudity. I have been fully nude in the sun frequently, even if I am wearing sunscreen and I like to have my whole body checked, including (and I hate to use this expression) my "private parts". They might be MY "private parts" to them, but they are professionals being asked and paid to look at ME all over to assess MY health. I was recently at a sauna/steam where we were all nude and I saw a man in his 40s with what looked like a normal mole on the top shaft of his penis. I would think that a dermatologist might at least notice that, but they wont if its kept covered up.

If you get sun everywhere you should be examined everywhere
Totally agree with that last statement, if we get sun everywhere, we should be checked everywhere. As nudists we get sun everywhere, and when you go for a skin check we should be telling the doctor exactly that. My late wife got me to go to her skin doctor (the Dr had been her gyney) and I told her I was a nudist. She said fine and checked me all over but was discrete and partly covered my penis and balls. This year I had a few spots burned off including one close to by scrotum, she joked about the sensitivity of that location, saying she would be careful. I feel really comfortable with her and she is with me. Maybe I'm lucky.

Congratulations to you for being proactive in supporting a patient. I wonder if that dermatology NP should be reported. At the very least she belongs in another area of practice. Her behavior is extremely unprofessional. She could have requested that another provider be present during the exam before she went in. Finally, after years of twice annual exams, I told my provider that I wanted my butt examined too. I didn't need to tell her that I'm a nudist. Melanomas, for example, can appear anywhere (sole of the foot, a case I'm aware of).
