Do any of you have experience with anal manometry?

Hi all!

I haven't seen many posts about the topic and since I'm going to have to get this exam done I wanted to ask something.

Do any of y'all have experience with anal manometry?

And if so, how was it?

I'm curious about the different ways anal manometry is being done across the world so that I can fantasise a bit.

Obviously I'll try to be as professional as possible during the exam since the poor doctor who'll be probing my ass didn't sign up for some medfet kinkster.

But in the meantime I'd love to have some stories to read.

Links to other stories or posts or even videos are also very much welcome!

Have a nice day y'all!

Well, how was the exam? Did it go how you thought it would go?

OMG that's the word I was trying to think of... some years back when I was on social media a gorgeous woman posted a medical invoice, saying something like "Welcome to my 40's". And the procedures included "anal manometry", which was the first time I'd heard the term and I remember looking it up and fantasizing about this beautiful woman going through this procedure.

Then I closed all my online accounts and forgot the word but still always remembered her post.

Thanks for the reminder 😊 and now I'm reading about the procedure again and OMG 😬

No, I've never even heard of it until now. But it sounds fun!

I wouldn't mind having this test done on me, I hope they give me a enema 1st. 😉

I had this test done a few months ago. Prep involved two Fleet enemas about 2 hours before the exam. When I got there I was asked to undress from waist down and lie on my left side. The female Tech performed a digital rectal exam, and then passed a catheter with pressure sensors along it's length and terminating in a balloon. After getting it placed and seated properly, she had me squeeze and relax several times to measure pressures in the anal canal. Then she put various amounts of air into the balloon, to test for my perception thresholds (can feel it, could go, gotta go, can't take anymore.) Finally, she had me sit on a toilet seat and attempt to to expel the balloon, which I couldn't do. My anal pressures were low, despite a lot of Kegels over the past year. The final diagnosis was Dyssynergistic Defecation, and treatment involves Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy, if I can find a provider for it.

I thought anal manometry was a test to see how much of an asshole a guy is...

Hi i have to go for a test called anal manometry. I am so excited . I read about . Wondering if any had one . What am i looking forward too . I hope it will feel good . Thanks

I had this about 10 years ago. I dont know if it has changed since then? I had to give myself a fleets type enema before leaving home. I had to lay on a bed and had a probe put inside my anus. The probe had a balloon in it that was inflated while I was instructed to push it out. The conclusion is that the muscles around my rectum dont work very well. I could have told them that without the test, but at least there are now some measurements on my record.

Yes, I had this test a few years ago, before COVID-19. They had me lie on my side, first perform a digital exam, then insert a small catheter. They first asked me to squeeze hard for 5-6 seconds, then after a while to try to expel. This was repeated about 3-4 times.

The test was very quick and painless, much less uncomfortable and embarrassing than others I've had, both before and after.

I remember the doctor telling me I was a very young patient by his standards—I was about 25.

I have it a few times during urodynamics. Before urethral catheterization nurse lube my anal sphincter and insert a small catheter with a sort of rubber cylinder on the tip, it felt intrusive and slightly stretching, which triggered an immediate reflex to tighten. That initial moment was the most uncomfortable, more because of the instinctive reaction than actual pain.

Once in place, there was a persistent feeling of fullness, like a constant mild pressure inside the rectum. It wasn’t painful, but it was impossible to ignore. At times, there was a faint tickling or “foreign object” sensation, almost like an internal sort of dilatation rather than something sharp. That odd mix of pressure and tickle made it difficult to relax fully at first.

When the balloon was inflated during the test, the sensation shifted. It created a gradual, increasing urge similar to needing to defecate. The feeling built slowly and became quite strong diffusing a mild pain on my entire belly. At peak inflation, it felt very urgent, but still under control.

Emotionally, this part was the most challenging because it forced attention onto very private bodily sensations. However, the discomfort eased quickly once the pressure was released at the end of the examination. Having my sphincter and penis completely exposed while having my bladder filled with saline and asked to squeeze added a lot to the embarassement.
