Do gynecologists use the knee-chest position somewhere or is this position only in porn?

Do gynecologists use the knee-chest position somewhere or is this position only in porn? I don't know if this is used in Europe

It’s rare at least here in the US and only for specific procedures like some surgeries, if the patient has an issue preventing them from being in the lithotomy position comfortably or with young children

Knee to chest position for what? Conducting a pre-examination interview from their desk? To do a cannonball dive into the pool?

Conducting an anal exam on me? for that, I am on my back resting on the knee rests. She sits on a stool manipulating her scope. Sometimes I lay on my side with my legs up a bit.

Knee to chest no. Everything is done on the back legs up and open except the breast exam in my experience.

That is done sitting on the mushroom chair with a sock puppet "Stinky the Hermit" I have to wear the protective nose glasses while he examines me.

Otherwise, he hides in the Gynecologist's Magic Groto. He lives there. I have to coax him out with tickles and kisses. Hermits are shy.

I don't think it's used routinely in adult screening (ie, what is shown in medfet porn) anywhere, but certainly gynecologists do use it for other situations. Young kids, as Nurse Phillips mentioned; people who don't have the hip flexibility to do lithotomy (like in cerebral palsy; ) for checking out or treating problems on the back wall of the vagina, so like a rectocele or a fistula. And then OBs may use it to help reposition a baby for ultrasound or delivery.

So... yes, but not sexy yes if that's what you're asking. 😄
