Rectal exam for hemorrhoids

Anybody ever had a rectal exam for possible hemorrhoids? I had one at my doctors appointment yesterday

I have, I was at my annual physical and commented on having them. I was really only asking the best way to alleviate them when she asked if I minded if she took a look. I lowered my pants and bent over. She spread my cheeks and looked before telling me she was going to insert her finger. While she was doing the DRE she told me that she was going to check my prostate.

My doctor had me take my shorts and boxers off and lay on my right side. He covered my bottom with a sheet once I was on the table. He felt the outside first and then lubricated his finger and and did a digital rectal. He was in there for a minute or two cause he had to feel around. He said that I have a small anal fissure. After that he left the exam room and I put my shorts back on

Yup, I've had.

And had them rubber banded right away, which felt really weird.

I had it when I had bleeding that took a long time to stop. Did feel weird having his slick finger mixing with the already odd feeling of the blood around my anus. He then gave me a pad to put in underwear as his exam caused blood to start seeping again. Was prescribed some suppositories to use for a week.

Thank god I dont have any blood back there

Unless it decides to pop open
