my 15 year old sister want to on what happens at annual checkup. do they look at you naked. get a robe. check or touch privates. heard u have to stand and they make you pee into a cup. this is a checkup not gyno
Answer:
If its just a physical (check-up) then chances are the doctor will listen to her heart and lung function, have her lay down on the table so that he/she can press on her stomach and listen to digestive sounds, press on her throat (check her thyroid), look at her ears, nose, throat, and eyes, check reflexes and may possibly feel along the limbs and spine to make sure there's not some malformation of the bone structures.
She may be asked to give a urine sample. This is done in a private restroom (she will be given specific instructions on how to gather the urine sample), and they may draw some blood (depending on why she's there in the first place).
She most likely will NOT be asked to undress, and if she is she would be given a gown and a nurse or her parent/guardian would be in the room with the doctor (especially if the doctor's male).
Nope, they just check your lungs, heart rate, etc.
A physical is when they do the papsmear and stuff like that, and you dont really have to have that until you have intercourse
A normal physical exam will probably require you to pee in a cup (depending on the type of checkup). Otherwise, you keep your clothes on and all tests are non-evasive (such as reflexes, listening to your lungs, looking at your eyes and ears, etc.)
At a yearly womanly exam (which she might have been describing and it does not always have to be performed by an OB/GYN) you have to pee in a cup, they do a breast exam to check for lumps, and they also do a pap smear at the very least. The pap smear DOES require you to at least derobe your lower part of your body (pants and underwear) but some doctors ask that you take all of your clothing off and wear a smock so that they when they have to do the breast exam they don't have layers of clothing interfering with what they have to feel for. The pap smear itself requires you to sit or lay on the exam bed and put your feet into the stirrups so that the doctor can get a sample of the cultures from your womanly parts. This is how they test for a lot of STIs and cancers of your reproductive system.
If it's a womanly exam, doctors DO understand that most women and young girls are uncomfortable with being naked in front of other people and will try to keep the smock on you as long as possible during the exam while keeping the exam itself as short as possible to minimize discomfort.
