Is this embarrassing for you? enema in front of the opposite sex?

Hello from Germany again :-D

1. what would men/male patients do in that situation getting an enema before computer tomography? would you be embarrassed infront of these 2 female assistants?

2. and how would you women/female patients react if those 2 medical assistants were both male and those men give you that enema?

we speak about real exam.

Gosh, as a male, the notion of lying there naked and having to accept an enema prep for a procedure to follow would have me most upset. Being prepped by the women would only intensify my embarrassment knowing that they saw me undressing and then observed me having to position for the enema!

Well I'm actually hoping my GI orders an MRI defecography after my next appointment.

From what I read it involves some type of gel that is supposed to simulate stool instilled into the rectum. Then an adult diaper to complete the test which ends with expelling said gel as if you were having a BM while still in the MRI with the tech/radiologist watching.

It's to help diagnose a real problem but most would not look forward to it as much as me. Not very concerned with who or what gender they are watching or prepping me.

Wouldn't bother me at all, I'd actually enjoy it!

@Nick321

I understand, do you think they would remember that situation as intense as you feel it? Or do they just their job 10 times a day? Is it possible that you could get erected? And would you wish, 2 males have prepped you for this exam?

@Joe467

I heard about that defecography, would be horror for me. and more if the helpers/assistants were male. but I am glad to do this infront of other women. So you are not concerned to get an erection infront of them? and you would not wish, that 2 males would prep you?

@mike45

Enjoy it, okay, and is there a chance you get erected in front of them? What would you answer? Say sorry?

Thanks for answers.

I would be embarrassed if two men prepared me with enemas. It was already embarrassing when my father and brothers saw me receiving enemas, a stranger applying it must be much worse.

@Anne20

Yes I understand, had that situation sometimes in Germany. its better when I get examined by female. Would you ask if one of the male helpers would leave the room, or what what you do?

@CFNFpatientin I wouldn't have the courage to ask if I could leave the room, because he's there doing his job.

I feel it you are embarrassed if there were 2 males examining you, that why I chose this picture, it shows very good how we feel or would feel when we get 2* opposite genders in a intimate exam.

I also did not send him away, but after the rectal exam. I felt dirty cause 2 males examined my anus in hospitl.

I would be embarrassed regardless of their gender. However, it would definitely be more embarrassing if they were females. Usually with my anxiety and nerves, I shrivel and shrink up. However, anytime I am required to be naked, an erection is always possible.

I actually received an enema from two or three male nurses when I was about 6 years old, although one of them was a student, but still. My appendix was extremely close to burst and I had terrible stomach pain, and they couldn’t understand why, I believe they thought I was badly constipated. I remember lying down on my stomach on the medical table, bare butt and some lube between my cheeks, bawling my eyes out as they inserted the nozzle up my bum. I felt so exposed and I was so embarrassed and really didn’t like it, and I thought it hurt. My mum and dad were there with me, witnessing it all, trying to calm me down. I think they had to hold me down too, since I was struggling so much against getting it. Then I received the enema anyways. And a few hours before that, I had already received a really embarrassing suppository, for the same reasons I think, or maybe as a pain killer, I can’t remember exactly.

I had a barium enema radiology procedure many years ago prior to hernia surgery because they didn't know what was causing the abdominal pain. Two women did the procedure and I was nude except for a flimsy gown on the table under the x ray machine while they took the pictures. I didn't find it embarrassing at all.
