If i go to an internist will i have to take off all of my clothes? i have an obgyn will the internist want to do a breast and pelvic exam?

No: You don't need to be made to feel uncomfortable by your internist. Some primary care physicians perform gynecological exams, most don't. You may be put in an examination gown but you should not have to take off all of your clothes. If you have an ob/gyn, you don't need another breast and pelvic exam.
