Doctor visit dilemma!

[sissystephanie]

Ladies,

I have a problem, at least it is for me. I wear panties usually silk or satin, almost all the time. I have worn panties to a doctors office, but he was not going to examine anything in that area.:heehee:

However, on Monday morning I have an appointment with a Urologist for a Prostate exam. Should I go ahead and wear the white satin panties I was going to wear, or should I be "wimpy" and go completely in drag? BTW, I have been to this doctor before, but never wearing panties!

My thinking is to wear the panties, and if he says anything I will tell him that I am a Crossdresser. If he has a problem with that, well there are other doctors. I don't think he will care! What do you think I should do?

My SO is a RN and says that she had seen it a few times in the emergency room. They are more interested in your health than what you wear.

Girl,

I would go with the Panties, usually doctors leave the room when you undress, but go for it, I would wear the panties, be yourself.

[Tina Dixon]

:heehee: Can't be any worst than what he's going to be doing, lol.

[flogo920]

You did not mention whether you are out to your urologist.

Do you want to be ?

That would help make the decision- my 2 cents.

No, I have not told my Urologist, or anyone else. But I have reached the point, or age:heehee: , where I don't care if he knows. Doctors have to respect confidentiality just like a lawyer.

Sissy, I just had a prostate exam and biopsies done about three weeks ago. I did not alter my choice of lingerie for the appointment. Turned out to be a non-issue as I was asked to disrobe and put on a hospital gown prior to the doctor coming into the exam room. But, like you, it would not have made any difference to me if he had seen what I was wearing or not. He is there to practice medicine and I am there to be healed. Everything else is not important.

[Helen MC]

I have visited Doctors for urological and other intimate examinations. In each case I have still worn panties but chose a plainer non-suss pair such as plain white or some dark colour for such an occasion, not a pair with a floral pattern or pink or with a picot lace trim etc. I haven't even owned any male underwear now for decades and don't intend to buy any. No comment has ever been made about my underwear by any Doctor or Nurse and I certainly would not ever blurt out to them "I am a crossdrresser". Why should I tell them that. I have no problems with being thus, it is NOT an illness, so why tell the Doctor or Nurse about it?

[joaniecd]

I was at the doctors tuesday and had on a sports bra and satin panties. the doctor remarked that there are bras for men. I responded that I like these just fine. i do have B cup breasts and the sport bra holds them in enough when dressed in drab.

[Stephenie S]

The idea that your doctor cares a whit about what you wear is absurd. He/she is not at all interested in your choice of clothes. Most of the time they are going to ask you to take them off anyway, so what's the big deal? Doctors, nurses, hospital technicians have seen it all. And most have seen far more than you. Wear what ever you want to your doctors appoinment. No one will care at all.

[RachelDenise]

Wear whatever you want. You won't have them on when your prostate is examined. Most medical folks don't care, and if they do, they wouldn't say anything to you.

Doctors tend to write things in files.
Sometimes weird things.
Those things follow you around for ever.

Wierd things:
I had a file transfered years ago to a new doctor
and had a chance to read it.
The doctor which I had liked and who I felt I had a great relationship with had written a rather unflattering one dimensional description of me having dirty fingernails and shabbily dressed. Well, on that our first meeting I had just been working on my motorcycle, and was dresssed for it.
I was pulled away for my apppointment and returned to it after.

They also tend to make notes of little things about your life, such as a title change
Job changes etc. Another Doctor I still see actually wrote my title on my file card when I recieved a higher level in my profession, he actually added my new letters.

So, if you don't mind this type of personal thing written in your file and aren't afraid to ask if it will be written in a respectful way, then...

Personally I would not wera panties to my doctors only because I am tired of stupid things like that.
Old and grouchy, I just think it is a priveledge to know personal things and I want those priveledges to go to the worthiest of people.

As I say, just old and grouchy.

I have woren black satin panties for Dr's exams several times. No comment from her, the Dr. is interested in the medical .

TTFN :hugs:

[JoanFlores]

Go ahead, as long as you are paying the bill, the Dr. should be ok.

[janedoe311]

"wonderfully" exam you are given a gown and are told to take everything off.
So you could be wearing Barbie underwear :heehee: and no one would know.

[Rachel Morley]

I have a lady doctor, and have been seen by her twice when I was wearing panties. However, I did chicken out a little bit I wore plain white cotton ones but you could still totally tell they were panties.

[DeeInGeorgia]

I just changed medical plans so I had to change urologists. The new urologist was not one for gowns and had me drop my drawers right then and there. Luckily I was not completely underdressed.

I have been to several different Doctors while wearing panties. All sorts of different procedures where I needed to drop my pants and or panties. Nothing was ever said about my panties. In some instances nurses were present as well, no doubt, they could tell I was wearing panties. Also, this past November I had cataract surgery on my right eye (short stay) and I wore panties in for the procedure. I was told to put on the gown(?) and leave my underwear on....OK. After the operation I was put in a "recovery" room and monitored for awhile. There I had a male and a female nurse, while they were rearranging the covers the male nurse must have noticed the panties, as he held the covers up for a long time while he was arranging them and seemed to be trying to figure out what I had on. If anyone says anything just say I prefer them!

[cocopuff's girl GG]

Most likely you will be given a gown and can privatly undress and when he/she comes in he won't be looking down below for what undergarments you have on he will be looking for anything unusual pertianing to your body and not your clothes.. I'd say where what ever you normally would. PS.. Some gowns don't close in the back:heehee: :love:

Is it really that difficult to dress like a guy for a doctors exam?:2c:

[Helen MC]

"Is it really that difficult to dress like a guy for a doctors exam?"

No it is not but why should one have to?

Well said, Helen!

Had my exam today, and the only male things I had on were my shoes and socks. It was very cold (for Georgia) so decided not to wear stockings and ladies shoes. I wore white satin panties with lace, a white satin bra, ladies jeans(Karren wouldn't like that!) and a tight fitting knit top with the loose floppy turtle neck collar. I did not have to totally disrobe, just dropped my jeans and panties while the doctor did his thing! No comments at all. Did not really expect any, but was prepared to answer. Best thing he said was, "see you in a year!"

One doesn't have to. Go ahead and agonize over it, and embarrass yourself. It's your right. It's none of his business.

[Marianna Julianna]

I have often though about such things myself, although I don't underdress if someone medical was to examine me they'd soon notice that I shave most of my body. I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter, they're not going to ask you why, no one asked me why when I had to go in to have my appendix out, although only my legs were shaved back then. My wifes, cousins daughter is a nurse, spent a lot of time working in Casualty, something like that is the least of their worries.

I guess if anyone wants to know Sears.com sells Nylon mens underwear I had some for years. First found in local sears store and yes wear them when go to Dr office they are comfy but still like my lacy ones better.

[Barbara Joanne74]

I would agree, I too have gone to the Dr. in undies. Never a problem. Always professional. If there is a question, just be honest.

I don't know if they are still made, but I used to wear Spaulding nylon bikini breifs for men. They came in lots of colors and looked OK. A bit thicker than womens underwear though. I found them in the mens dept in Woolworths, many years ago. I don't have any anymore. Almost all of my clothes are womens now.

[Sasha Anne Meadows]

I had to go to the ER last week and they had to put in a cathader. I didn't have panties on but I am totally shaved down there. Nurses didn't bat an eye.

[Helen MC]

Melinda, I have never agonised over wearing panties to the doctor's or been embarrased by it. YOU seem to have a problem about this , I DON'T

[kristytv]

i had to go to the urologist for an issue, and i had a pair of nylon light blue lace sided panties on. totally forgot what i had put on that day . then when it came time, and he came in the room as no prior intructions had been given, he asked me to take off my pants which i did , saw what i had on. said are those. and proceed to feel my butt and pinched it! i was so embrassed, but then before he went on with his inspection, he gave my other side a quick gentle rub and went on with buisness, he then asked me out afterward!

[Jeanine]

If you would feel more comfortable wearing panties to your doctor's visit, I'd say go ahead and do it ... But if you're just doing it to blow the doctors mind DON'T DO IT ! ... You'll probably be embarassed as hell and the doctor will probably ignore it .... Most doctors have seen a lot stranger things than a male wearing panties.
Jeanine

[Tasha Meredith]

:yt: Yeah, if it's something you want to do to feel comfortable, they've probably seen stranger. If it's some sort of exhibitionist, "freak out the establishment" thing, I have mixed feelings. That approach tends to reflect badly on us TGs. Main point: you're probably not their first.

[tall_brianna]

I recently went to see my doctor for a physical and I think that's the first time I've worn boxers in months.

And the result - he had to have known anyway. Hello shaved legs, pits and well groomed front lawn. Not to mention the trace remnants of pink nail polish under the cuticles of my toes.

After realizing that and more importantly that, of all people, your doctor might be someone who needs to know so that he can tailor his treatments - I should have just done it.

[Glenda58]

Go wearing the panties. I do because I don't have any male underwear. Plus they don't care what you wear they just want to help you.
