Paper Sheet "spot" after Exam

I'm sure we have all seen/heard about the viral tiktok of a gyn office staff posting videos of "trails" left over on the table after an exam.

Has anybody ever seen one of their own/spouses "spot" on the table after an exam?

Given the amount of lube I have on me coming off the table, I don't doubt I've left a "snail trail" before on the table.. I would think gynos are used to this and it's generally accepted, especially since many outright (or mine do) hand over a a sani-wipe to clean off with. Though, some I've seen did the water only vs sterilube over not wanting to possibly contaminate the smears. Water, does not, properly lube up a speculum.. just saying.

Frankly, I think that sharing images of the smears is such an invasion of patient privacy that the employees posting them should lose their jobs and possibly any licenses involving medical care for others. It's a huge breach of ethics.

I believe all of that staff was fired from the video.

We are currently just talking about if anybody has seen their own

Yeah, I’ve definitely seen where I’ve left a wet spot more than once. I’ve also noticed this after a massage where I’ve been fully undressed but had my genitals covered by a towel. Haven’t really been too embarrassed as it’s something that happens naturally and I’m sure it’s not the first time that day they’ve seen it

I’ve definitely seen mine before but I feel like they could be from so many different things, sweat, lube, and of course a patient’s own wetness. I’ve even seen patients skin oils leave a mark before, this was at a chiropractor and the patient was face down for the adjustment. So I don’t think it’s anything to be ashamed of and these people who made the TikTok should cross their fingers that they’re never in a vulnerable situation.

It's hardly a rare occurrence. If a large amount of lubricant is used there's the likelihood of some leaking out. And you often end up with blood on the speculum and or paper after a pap test. I've not seen the video talked about but that sounds like a rather bizarre thing to do. But it also proves that medical professionals are not exactly oblivious to using a medical situation for a bit of personal fun.

Oh gosh these people that made the video would have done a feature length version of this one time we were at the doctor. There was a student medical assistant in there and as soon as this doctor finishes she tells the student to get on a glove so she can feel my wife's ovary, she had a small cyst. But what she did was push out a bunch of lubricant on her fingers, after the doctor had already done the same, and when she pulled out it made this weird noise like you get with a ketchup bottle that you didn't shake down far enough. So after they left I took a look before my wife got up and yeah it was all over her and the table paper. A bit too much used!

I’ve been fortunate to witness one. It’s one of the facets of my medical fetish I guess, I love the thought of a messy exam room just after an exam completion, and what had just transpired there.

That said, yeah, that was probably over the line to be posting that.

Dipping the speculum in warm water cut down on the cold shock. It's not a lube.

I have left a wet spot on the paper before, was embarassed about it, and then the nurse told me it was not a big deal and not to worry about it.

Yes I have noticed it and it is to be expected. If you have had lube inserted into one or both orifices its going to happen. Especially as once the exam is drawn to a close and the patient is sat up legs no longer in the lithotomy position conversing with the dr its going to start making its way out.

Do gynecologists use lubricant for the speculum exam or just water? I assume lubricant is used for any rectal exam, but is it used for the digital vaginal exam as well? When being examined is it common to express vaginal secretions?

I deleted a post by a male member about his own exam. This is a gynecological exam topic, it is about ladies. It is not about men's asses.

I deleted another man's post that was just after my last one. Maybe the men just can not read and understand that this is not their topic.

I didn’t notice any until I got pregnant. For some reason, after the first trimester I was always wet down there I noticed visible spots.

Ever since I started getting recto vaginal exams there is a visible spot, but my doctor uses a lot of lub. Enough that I feel it running down my butt checks when his finger goes in.

The line of comments about the video is really quite bizarre.

The idea of using only water for the speculum was an old assumption that everyone seemed to latch on to claiming that is interfered with pap results. It was finally debunked. The bigger problem that causes repeat paps is that the physician does not collect an adequate amount of cells to successfully analyze properly in the first place.

The theory was lube might affect the fixation and how well the cells stain. I knew s couple of cytologist that were adamant it was the case.
