Abdominal aorta stething

Anyone ever had a doctor listen specifically to their abdominal aorta right above their belly button and maybe to the arteries on the sides of your belly too? I love the stethoscope just bouncing as the doctor watches the belly thumping and breathing while listening!

Yes I have a few times. The dr has to press their stethoscope a little harder but I like it. It hoes along with them feeling for my abdominal aorta.

Yes, I love it with the doc saying "I'm just going to listen for the pulse above your tummy button".

I never had a real doctor listen but in a play exam I had my female doctor listening often. I really like it!

She also palpated my pulse, which I enjoyed as well!

I do it in play exams with female patients. Several have told me that I was the first one to do it and most have said that I auscultated their chests and took more time listening to their hearts than any real doc ever did.

I've never come across anything like this. And which doctor by profession should listen to the abdominal area?

I think I’ve had it happen once during a cardiologist visit. But I can’t think of any other time!

I did it routinely in my practice. A bruit needs to have attention paid to it.

Yes, this has occured for me multiple times.

I once had a female doctor. I thought she was lovely and for every exam, she would auscultate me.

I had to lie down and she would listen to my abdomen very thoroughly, listening for aortic sounds. Feeling the stethoscope on my abdomen was pretty sensational. I'd like to try this in play exams sometimes in the future, if I get to share with someone.

I once had this done at a cardiologist exam followed by checking my femoral pulses which made for quite the exam.

Having peripheral pulses checked is great, "I'm just going to listen to the pulses in your groin, can you lower your boxers slightly?". 🙂

Doctors done it to me a couple times. Everytime I got an abdominal exam, they also checked the aorta and some other blood vessels in the abdominal and inguinal area.

Had this done a couple of times also a ultrasound scan to determine the size of the aorta
