Doctor makes you take off clothes?

Question

OK, I'm 13 years old, and a girl.

My mom told me soon that the doctors will make me take off my clothes infront of him! I have a phobia of taking my clothes off infront of people. (I'm serious. I freak out and I probably am very dangerous if someone tries to take my clothes off)
WHAT AGE DO THEY MAKE YOU DO THIS? WHY DO THEY MAKE YOU DO THIS? (take off clothes)

Please answer, I am so scared.

WHY do they make you do this?

I'm not even sure what a gynologist is......I have a old male doctor....he asked me if I had my period and I was like, what a sicko! I lied and said no. I didn't want him wandering around down there.

Answer 1

Hon, never lie to the doctor, when you told him you had not started your period yet, he became concerned, and maybe he told your Mom that you needed further tests. Most girls start anywhere 13 to 15, although now it seems that puberty starts earlier and earlier.
Unless you are having problems, like really bad cramps, the doctor will not examine you like that. Most young women do not see their gynecologists until before they marry, and then it is to ask about birth control pills. I think your Mom may be teasing you a little bit. Even if you were to have an exam, you would be handed a paper gown to put on in another room, and the nurse will be in the room with the doctor, all the time, you are having the exam. It makes it easier to listen to your heart through the paper gown.

Answer 3

What Is The Problem?

If You Have that Phobia The Best Thing To Do Is Ask For A Female Doctor When I Was 12 I Had The Same Problem but Now Im 14 And I Ask For Usually A Female Even If She Aint Hot Im More Confortalble When I Have To Take My Clothes Off And That Kinda Stuff!

Answer 4

There really is nothing to be afraid of. They give you something to put on and they leave the room. It is against the law for a male doctor to be in the room with a female patient without a female nurse in the room with you. Don't lie to the doctor about anything he/she asks you. He was not going to examine you but there is certain information they need to know so they know when you need to see a gynecologist. Most gynecologists will talk to you about your period and teach you to do life saving self breast exams. If a doctor wants to do an exam that you don't want done you can refuse. It is your right unless your Mom says she wants it done since you are still a minor. Don't be so afraid of doctors. They really do not pay any particular attention to your body, they have seen thousands. You never have to undress in front of a doctor. If for some reason the doctor does not leave the room for you to undress tell them you would like some privacy. Sometimes they just aren't thinking but with so many lawsuits they try their best to watch what they say and do.

Answer 5

You don't have to undress in front of the doctor usually. It depends on what you are going for. If you have the flu or break your arm you don't have to get undressed. If you are having a female exam (pap) then you have to undress from the waist down. So it just depends.

Also the doctor doesn't stand there and watch you. They leave a real nice paper dress, leave the room and tell you to get undress (in private) and then get on the table and wait. There will also be another female in the room when the doctor comes in to look at you. So don't worry about it.

Answer 6

depending on what type of doctor you are seeing and what you are going for they may ask you to take off your clothing. However it is not as bad as it seems. They will leave you a gown and usually some blanket or cloth and leave the room while you change. They will then come back in after you have changed into the gown.

Answer 7

Normally a female nurse there too, if you do

they might put you in one of those gowns that tie at the back if they are doing a gyno exam - but being a guy, not an expert on this..

don't freak -- breathe deep and relax

you wouldn't normally take everything off even on a gyno table

Answer 8

most doctors are seeing human anatomy the same as we see tomatoes in the shop,like common.I remember a few years back I had to visit the doctor,for a skin rash.it was all over me ant the top of my legs.so there I was,in front of a male doc,pants down and he was just having a look.....door slamed open and there was a receptionist bringing him in his cup of coffee.I thought it was quite funny.but then I love nudist beaches in the summer,so I am not that bothered anyway,plus I am not a girl or 13 !!!

Answer 9

you do not take off your clothes in front of him. if you are starting to see a gynocologist, then you will get undressed and put on a gown that ties in the front, and when the doc comes in to see you, then there will be a nurse in the room. if you are uncomfortable seeing a male doc, then ask your mom to find you a female doc. its not really that bad, think of it this way, you're not the only one they have saw. they see lots of women.

Answer 10

I went for a check up where I was first asked to remove my clothes. So I just took off my shirt and denim. But the doctor came to see me and pointed nurse something and went away. After it nurse angrily unbuttoned my bra and lifted it up my breasts were hanging bare and asked to lie down on breasts on bed. Then took down my panties fully not even half like we do for injection. Then called in doctor and left. He was after my nipples and was treating and touching me like we do a puppy and rubbin his hands al ovr. And I just had to be silent while he was feeling me. After checking my breasts physically he took my nipples in his mouth and then ended the exam. Then was asked to lie in surya namesake position with breasts hanging while lying flat on bed and he kept elongating and touching my breast and injection was given.
