“Is a physical exam done with pants and underwear off completely?”
Symptom 1: Low back pain 4/10 with no fever at all. Symptom 2: I feel like I have a little congestion in my nose. A hard area on the low left side of my tummy. No abdominal pain when I palpated. I am currently taking Concerta 36 MG 1 pill every morning and I take it for ADHD. June of this year I had my covid-19 shot. The treatments I had over the years were, at age 19 I had a digital rectal exam and I also had an enema done. I have a history of cancer in both my mom's family and my dad's family. I was homesick for 3 days. And the last time I had a physical exam was 2 years ago. I do need a testicles exam because sometimes my testicles get itchy.

Does not need to be fully naked. Check movement, tender spots, and consider radiology and, if necessary, CST.
There are certainly discrete ways of performing a physical examination.
Thanks for the question.
