Mother in exam room, he's not old enough to be embarrassed by me

Hi Guest
The examination will remain the same when your son hits puberty.
Kids can get pretty uncomfortable with their parents seeing them being examined your son will no doubt let you know either by telling you or by his actions that he would prefer you didn't watch.

If there are any issues your doctor will discuss them with you after the examination.
There is no set age for how long you continue to watch his examinations but asking your son how he feels about you being in the room would be a good idea.

You being in there no doubt gives him comfort at this age but the day will come when he doesn't need his mom in the room and you watching him being checked over kinda becomes a bit awkward for him it should be his choice when it stops.

The doctor will still discuss any concerns with you even if your not in the room.

You go with him as long as possible.Families that are nude at home a lot do not have these problems.Sons and dads get erections and it is all normal.The main fear that teens get is mom will see my erection at the doctors.It causes embarrassing moments.

In this day and age of what happens in some doctors offices I always want someone with me I have no problem being nude in front of strangers.

It sounds good, but it does not actually happen that way. We are constantly seeing mothers entering the exam room with their sons who are obviously old enough to be alone. Probably these mothers have a good reason to do so. Many older already men say that this practice has existed during their childhood and adolescence and none of them claim to have received any psychological trauma or deviation because of this. In addition, we often read in various maternal and health forums mothers to ask for counseling to treat illnesses such as the phimosis of their sons aged 14, 15 or even older. I think that such problems would have been discovered and solved much earlier if the mother had attended the intimate part of her son's medical examinations and had the opportunity to follow closely the process of his development. The presence during the medical examination and the observation of the whole procedure is a great opportunity to do so.

What about dads in the exam room with daughter's? Would your answer be the same?

My mom would ask me if I wanted her too wait outside the examination room when I turned 14, but my doctor's detailed description of my genitals when examined made me more embarrassed than her examination of my genitals and rectal opening when I was sick or discovered an unusual swelling in my epididymis and having mom walk in on me when I was masterbating on my bed at 16, with her asking me why I was naked, pretending not too have seen what I was doing, sitting beside me on my bed to talk with me about male development and masterbation, I think she wanted to spare me the embarrassment of having this discussion with Dad standing there watching since his insistence that Mom have a talk with me about these topics go to her with questions if I had anything I want to know we need to ask about getting examined by her and asking her questions what she talks to me about masturbation with me being exposed to her view as I asked you questions and she examined me was a discussion that we were both reluctant to have but having her walk in on me and see what I was doing I think we both came to an unspoken understanding that you might as well get it over with since my dad pushing us to have this conversation and examination with the understanding that Mom would be more discreet and more respectful of my feelings and dad would so after that discussion getting all those questions out of the way and having her answer on my questions that I was doing beers to ask but wanted to get behind me so we have to worry about anymore we no longer without shy about her accompanying me to doctor's appointment when she felt that her being there was in my best interest which was rare in my teen years. My mom had see me as an adult without clothing then after examining me during a emergency medical concern and which contaminated clothing and circumstances out then made her seeing me naked and then eventually examining me thoroughly to be unavoidable and we both preferred that this happened in private before determining whether or not to go to emergency room or not because it would have been a lot more embarrassing to be examined in front of her by an intern or a doctor at the emergency room who might not have a bedside manner or any sense of decorum. Neither one of us was uncomfortable or embarrassed with that situation now is 46 at a time having her examinate me from top to bottom nude and after seeing me without clothing on for an extended period of time for more than a couple days it's no longer an issue for either of us if she sees me naked so I kind of wonder why our kids don't just get it over with and get the embarrassing stuff out of the way with your parents so that they can discover that there's nothing to be embarrassed about and that their parents aren't seeing anything they haven't seen before and that there's no reason for them to be uncomfortable seeing or even examining their teenager adult children is circumstances demon necessary so that they can know that it's appropriate and okay for mother to see her teenage adolescent or adult son naked and that neither should feel embarrassed about her examining him if it can make both feel better about his medical safety and physical health because she can be trusted to know those intimate details about him and there's no reason for either of them to feel uncomfortable about her seeing or even examining the parts that she gave to him when passing on her DNA during exception. Fear of getting an erection from my mom disappeared when I was 46 years old staying naked in front of her with her reassurance that there's nothing to be embarrassed about it was natural reflux and that I have no reason to feel uncomfortable about her seeing this natural reflexive function of my anatomy, stating that it's going to happen in front of a female whether she's his mom or not, so not to worry about it.

Single full time dad here. Have always been in with both girls and no big deal. But now the oldest is a teen and old enough to be there on her own next time which is no big deal either.

My nephew is 15 and a half and has an annual wellness checkup with his pediatrician
each year around the time of his birthday. The last 3 years I have taken him to his appointment when he turned 13, 14, and 15. All 3 times I went in the room with him and he never fussed or said anything about me going in the room with him. The nurse does all the normal stuff, checks his weight, height, vision, hearing, and pulse. Then the doc comes in and checks his breathing, reflexes, scoliosis, and finally the hernia/testicle exam. I have seen him naked several times before and after starting puberty when he spends the weekends and school holidays at my house (mostly when he goes to take a bath), so he doesn't care if I'm in the room when the doc does the hernia exam.

Teen males should not be embarrassed being seen in the nude by female family members.

I'm sorry, but I can't agree with your opinion. Unlike animals, humans experience feelings such as guilt, shame, embarrassment, which are formed in the process of their upbringing. The more strict and puritanical the society in which one grows up, the stronger these feelings are. Of course, these feelings are not meaningless. As nature has endowed us with feelings of fear and pain to warn us of danger and to protect us from physical injury and destruction, so she has created the feelings of shame, embarrassment, and guilt to protect us from moral destruction. However, sometimes we have to perform certain actions even though our body has alerted us to a potential danger through the sensations of fear or pain in the name of a favorable outcome for us. Such is the situation in which the boy is placed, who must endure the inconvenience of an intimate medical examination in the presence of his mother or other legal chaperone. These are simply the rules in medical services and established practices in most of society.

That second word has me wishing your piece was just a little longer to tell us why his aunt is taking him in and witnessing his testicles being handled by the doctor. If this is his uncle, I can see the mother saying, "I can't be sitting there, watching, while he strips naked for the doctor. But my brother can." The last two lines tell me that mom (or dad or both) are still in the picture. You have a very relaxed with your nephew.

This one is long and hard to follow. I'm wondering if it was originally written in some language other than English. I'm also wondering it the mother is a nurse or in the medical field in some other capacity. But most of all, I wish somebody else knew the story and had written it in a shorter and easier to follow form. Sorry, "Pretty Labour", but you've lost me

One thing that is added to the exam once a boy hits puberty (that only one other writer mentioned) is a prostate exam, and he just may find that one more embarrassing than the hernia exam. About when mom should stop witnessing the whole thing, if I was a mother, about the time my son turned 10, I would tell him that some boys don't want their mothers watching them while they are being examined by a doctor and offer to sit in the waiting room while he is being examined. And I would repeat the offer before every exam from then on out. I would consider this to be respecting the sense of autotomy that should be emerging in a young man. I would let him know that I would still expect the doctor to brief me about what I, as his legal guardian/parent, should know, after the exam. I would also tell the doctor to share with my son what he was going to brief me about. And, no. My son doesn't have veto power over anything the doctor found and will brief me about. Not until he is 18.
