Why when ladies go to the OB-GYN does the Dr. tell you to remove your pants, the they the go out to wait?

In medical school, they teach this technique specifically. Same thing applies to males changing into a gown, prior to a physical exam. i.e. a DRE.\n\nThis guesture of leaving the room is seen as sign of repect for the patient's privacy. Watching someone get undressed serves no medical purpose. Why try to invade that privacy? You want to build a trusting relationship with your patient, that's hard to do if they are wondering why you are sitting there watching them undress.

I'm  a nurse and I really can't understand why people don't talk to there doctors. This is a question you should have ask before you left the office, better yet,it should have been explained to you right after the procedure.

THEY ARE TERRRITORIAL WOMEN. THEY ARE MARKING THEIR TERRITORY FOR OTHER WOMEN TO SEE AND KNOW THAT THEY'VE BEEN THERE. THEY LEAVE THEIR CLOTHING SO THEY CAN HAVE AN EXCUSE TO COME BACK...... SOMETIMES UNEXPECTANTLY!

Hi, I myself have had the same problem. Before you rush off to the OB-GYN, ask yourself if you have had a lot of stress lately, or going through anything stressful. If you are, try and relax, take a hot bath, and take some time for yourself. If not, then maybe you should go and see your physican, to make sure that this not serious. Hope you stay well!

*laugh* Because some of us like exposing our problems to the world? Personally, I hate doctors and in the time zone here, I'd be lucky to get anyone on the phone, so I ask here for immediate advice. If the resounding answer is "go to the doctor", then I will go in the morning. But sometimes (and especially for pregnancy questions), the answer isn't that simple and people are looking for answers and other questions to ask. At the very least, there is a support system here that isn't at the doctor's.\n\n~~Naomi

yes.  They may want to do a pelvic exam, though, just to make sure everything is working.

Good question.  I have always said the same thing.  There obviously is a reason they are showing it and that is to get looked at.  I am a woman and if I wear something like that, I expect to get looked at.

Yes. SOme patients are confused and are not capable of telling an nurse when they need to go to the bathroom.  Other patients may have problems controling their badder or bowels and are put in diapers instead of using a bedpan.

If you're a woman, the man's unit is either too large or you may have internal lubricating problems.  \nNonetheless, you should visit an OBGYN...

we dont.  lol.\n\nits so that if you have any leak/mess, it goes on the underwear instead of the pants.  also, if the paramedics or someone else has to remove your clothes, you are still covered in your personal areas.  also, so you can wear the same clothes more than one day, and if you change your underwear, you wont feel dirty down there.  also, when you 'fool around' with your bf/gf, there's more to remove and its more fun - also, you can cuddle in just your underwear (that's fun!)\n\nps. you dont have to wear undies if you dont want - us guys wont complain.  = )    Oh yeah, also, when you bend over and your but crack shows, your undies are supposed to cover it.
