Will they want me to shave for an Anoscopy?

Hi everyone,

I am scheduled for an anoscopy next week to look at a probable hemorrhoid problem/banding. Will they want the area to be shaved?

If they will shave it for me, I would prefer that for the new experience. :-)

However, if they do not care I will shave myself in order to make the best presentation.

Thanks!

You absolutely do not need to be shaved for an anoscopy exam. They don't care if you are shaved or not, they won't have any problems sticking that tube up your butt either way. Enjoy the experience!

@BenDover ... You are 100% correct! I actually love knowing that my hairy ass and hole are on full display! Five years ago, I had an unsedated colonoscopy ... the entire time I stayed a little chubbed with the tube up my ass and knowing that my ass was on full display. The doctor gave me rectal exam before the procedure which got things started in the right direction! It also helped knowing there was a male anesthesiologist in the procedure room in case I became uncomfortable and requested sedation. The anesthesiologist was also the one that hooked me up to a heart monitor right before the rectal exam.

I had an anoscopy fifteen years ago with no preparation, it was not neccesary to shave.

There was a special examination chair for proctological examinations, i think it was arco 115 from Schmitz.

I had to sit down, hat to unzip my heans after sitting on the seat, had to lay my feet into the stirrups, the chair was lifted by the doctor and then back of the chair turned down, so i laid on the back. Now the seat was folded down, so my butt was in the air, and the legs bent in hip and knee, then i pulled down the jeans and panties to midthight and the doctor had an excellent view on my anus, the rima ani and the scrotum while the penis was draped by the panties and jeans.

They won't care whether you're shaved or not but they probably will not do it for you.

I have seen only twice that exam done, but I don't think they would shave you. Generally it is not necessary. It does not come in my mind any cases in which it would be needed, but if needed they would do it before the exam and certainly it is limitated to the area of anus and not all the intimate parts. But I don't think that it is needed

No. There is no reason for it. Shaving is just required when there is going to be an incision to reduce the chances of contamination of the open wound.

Be furry or shave it's up to you.

I agree with you
