Warning for Rectal Exams

Just in recent months, Anthony had a follow-up appointment with his urologist. It was a follow-up and also a recap of a recent ultrasound of his bladder and kidneys. Due to the questions he had, and because he has familial history with enlarged prostates, the female RN asked him if he'd be okay with a rectal exam. She did warn him in advance, and of course, because we absolutely care about our health, he obliged. Even though she warned him, she definitely could have used more lube and been less rough.

During play exams, I've usually been warned in advance; however, during a recent one, I don't recall being warned haha. It took me by surprise but it was well worth it! ☝🤘🖖 The doctor really knew what he was doing, that's for sure!

My ex gf has had a rectal at almost all Her exams and she kinda expected it at many but she said she has always had a warning before and then she knew it was definitely happening. She said she never likes hearing things like... 'Wait! We're not quite done......' 'I know this is not your favorite part but it is important.. so deep breath and we'll get it done as quickly As possible' Or since she's a nurse she appreciated the humor of the guy who would double glove his hand and when it got to be that time would say as he removed the first glove.... ' You know what that sound means! Just relax and breathe, this won't take longer than an hour...' PP

The topic is for LADIES. I deleted some more posts by men talking about their own asses.

@des Did she just say "he's old school" or did she explain what it meant?

@Jacana she said ‘he insists on a rectal exam. He is old school.’

I have had many rectal examinations at the gynecologist or at other times. With and without "warning". My current gynecologist says "now I have to go in the anus". Before she has finished the sentence, the finger is already in up to the knuckle. Not very pleasant but it doesn't hurt either. When I was younger, I had a gynecologist who didn't "warn" but put a rubber finger cot over his index finger, even though he was wearing gloves, before inserting it. So by the second visit at the latest, you know what's coming. A nice doctor's assistant once explained to me that some gynecologists in particular don't "warn" because then the patients will consciously or unconsciously pinch or cramp their anus. But then it hurts. In my experience, whether with or without "warning", inserting the finger doesn't hurt at all if the doctor is experienced and careful. Provided there is enough lubricant. By the way, some doctors not only lubricate the finger but also the anus before inserting it. Then you know what's coming.

I have a question: don't they ask to "bear down" before pushing the finger in? I thought this would ease insertion.

I’ve been seeing the same doctor for a long time, and she has always told me beforehand everything she was about to do. Even with as many times as she has examined me, and with how I generally know what to expect and when to expect it, she still takes the time to talk me through it all. I’ve always appreciated that about her.

I was kind of speaking generally, but it certainly applies to the rectal exam as well. She will always tell me she’s going to do it, and to try and relax. It seems to have a dual effect on me, as the advanced notice lets me get prepared, but it also builds some anticipation in me which is kind of exciting.

I've had a doctor say she was going to do it right as she was doing it. I think it might be helpful to do it that way so the patient doesn't have a chance to tense up.

My current gynecologist doesn't say anything, he just proceed with the examination when he had finished the vaginal exam.

I've experienced everything from a simple "Bare down" and then it's happening. to an full explanation of what's going to happen and what she's about to do and feel for.. It really depends on the doctor.
