Subject: Re: Nude during physical exam Author: paula [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:40:51 11/25/10 Thu In reply to: Larry 's message, "Re: Nude during physical exam" on 20:39:37 11/17/09 Tue When my son was growing up i was in the room during his doctor appointments and physicals. His pediatrician was male, but did have a female nurse help. It never occured to me to not be in there as i did it all of his life, and he never said anythiing to me. He would keep his underware on during the entire physical. the second last thing was that he would get on the table and lay down for the doctor to check his abdomin and the nurse would remove his underware then. After that he would get down off the table and the Dr. would check his privates. it didnt seem to be an issue... [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

But one must not take this negatively, as most posters seem to do. Many boys prefer to have their mother or someone adukt close to them when having a medical exam because it makes them feel more secure, even at a teen age. Also many doctors today require underage kids to be accampanied by an adult for legal reasons. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Nude during physical exam Author: Daniel [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:25:26 09/20/11 Tue Until I was out of high school, my mother seemed to always have been present along with my sister and brother and somtimes my cousins and their mom. My mother didn't seem to be paying much attention to my genitals as I recall, but my aunt did pay attention to both the boys as well as the girls. She always seemed to have questions or comment about what the dr was doing as he felt here or there, poking or pressing a we lay on our backs. I remember her bringing attention to the ridge where the circumcision scar is several times, both mine as well as my cousin's which made whoever was exposed the center of attention.

Well that is twenty-six now, and I bet if she had lived that long, my mom would have done that. As it was, my cousin Renee who is about five years older and had a drivers license and access to ne of her dad's cars so she frequently took us to things like doctor's appointments. And I am pretty sure she stayed in the exam room until I was about 18 or 19 and went off to college. I remember that she drove me to the doctors when I slipped off the steps and both hurt my back and scraped the skin from mid-heiney to mid shoulder. She not only watched and asked questions she helped me pull my drawers off and re-dress, both at the office and at my bedroom. But I didn't really mind because she had been our babysitter for as long as I can remember, bathing us and spanking me when ever it seemed appropriate, to her or mom. so seeing my peepee and balls in the doctor's office, or my heiney spread open for he prostate check wasn't that unusual. Since that was a long hot summer and our house had no A/C I'd get sticky just lying there so she gave me sponge baths when I was bedridden, even bringing one of her girlfriends along to show off her nursing skills.

At that age is normal a bpy to see adult doctor alone. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Nude during physical exam Author: Sarah [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:00:29 11/01/16 Tue The purpose of having the boy's mother in the room is primarily to ensure that the medical treatment is provided properly and the health concerns are addressed. A young child, male or female, cannot express symptoms of illness or properly communicate with the medical provider. Also there is no legitimate reason for the mother to leave the room. Obviously the mother took her son to the medical appointment. Eventually she will need to speak with the medical provider regarding the exam, so why should she wait talk to the provider at the end. The only logical place for the mother to be is in the exam room watching the exam, ensuring cooperation with the exam by her son, ensuring the examination is done properly, and is available for discussion and can question the medical provider. In any event, no medical provider will even question the mother's decision to witness the exam. The only one who might object to the mother's presence is the son. It is not his decision to object. He is under the full care and control of his parents. They make the decision regarding, well... everything. When he is under the age of twelve (12), there will likely be no discussion and for the most part the child will want his mother present just for his own comfort. At age thirteen (13) the boy will be starting puberty and may object to his mother being present for the exam. His objections are not acceptable. For all the reasons stated above, the mother must remain present and observe the exam. The mother should also always demand a full nude exam, to check all skin area for any issue (skin cancer is really on the rise) and his genitals should be examined as well. If the son raises an objection, than that should be dealt with harshly, but the issue should be resolved prior to the day of the medical appointment. The mother should continue to attend all medical appointments until the son is no longer covered by her insurance. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Nude during physical exam Author: mrs_ladybird [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:48:40 11/08/16 Tue Sarah, your arguments in backing of the presence of mother during the medical examination of her son are quite sensible and logical. Moreover that the medical office policy require the presence of a parent or guardian on the examination of underage patients. I also agree that the mother has full authority to take decisions on everything which is related to the growing, bring up and health of her son and she is not obliged to comply with his wishes and caprices. Is it right, however, she to monitor the entire examination even in its most intimate part as a check for hernias, pulling the foreskin and uncovering the glans and the testicle exam if the boy has entered puberty and seek more privacy? At this age he would not want her to see his grown penis and pubic hairs. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Have your mother seen in another way your penis unless at your physical exams? How developed were you at this age? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Nude during physical exam Author: Sandra [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:46:17 04/08/17 Sat I absolutely agree with you, Sarah. The presence of a mother during the examination is in the best interest of her son. Medical staff will often not only accept, but welcome the decision of the mother to observe the exam as her presence often ensures a higher degree of cooperation. Also it enables a mother to keep fully informed about her childs development and address health issues immediately, as well as to make sure that the exam is carried out appropriately.

You are right, Sandra. However, to achieve comfort in the relationship between mother and her son need a full understanding and cooperation of the young man who sometimes is difficult condition to meet. With the first appearance of pubic hair and visible enlargement of the penis in the onset of puberty usually begins stage of sexual awareness and a strong desire for privacy. On the other hand in terms of rapid physical growth and sexual development when the risk of abnormalities and diseases is significantly increased, the privacy of the young boy can not be too sacrosanct. Monitoring this dynamic process is essential for the timely detection and treatment of abnormalities and diseases such as phimosis, undescended testicle, hernia and others diseases which, due to embarrassment and shame is likely to be overlooked or even concealed by the shy young boy who does not realize their importance. Usually the person who is entrusted with the care of health and hygiene of the boy, monitor his physical development and escorted him during his medical examination is his mother or other relative - usually female. This puts boys in a rather awkward position because such care often require partial or full nudity and sometimes manipulation and treatment in the genitals. However this is a little price for a boy to pay for a smooth and seamless entry into maturity. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
