Enemas before gyno appointment?

My wife never does one. She knows it would mess up the fecal occult blood test.

I never had been given a enema at my gynecologist before. So the doctor move only a gloved finger inside, never used any rectal instruments but exciting imagine to need this before the exam procedure

I do an enema before an exam. Never been told to prep like that, but as i do like enemas and have an fear for not be clean in rectum i take on before. Have done that since i was young.

I'm a little confused here. Are we talking about a vaginal or anal examination? I see no reason to take an enema for a vaginal examination. Now an anal examination is a different story. Several years ago I had a fistula. I was referred to a proctologist after an internalist lanced the boil like infection on my derriere. I was also suffering from IBS from the infection. I knew that I would be examined anally so to save myself the embarrassment of expelling when the doctor was inserting his finger or instrument into my rectum. I took a series of enemas so that my bowels were clean.

There isn't a real need to take an enema pre seeing the gyn, certainly make sure you don't need to go before your in the room so they don't get a surprise during rectovaginal exam.

I'm pretty sure they have seen a lot worse then a slightly marked glove post recto vaginal exam.

Ouch sounds very painful ddel.

For bowel things do they not normally give you bowel prep instructions anyway?

No i don't see the need as i try to stay clean back there.

I have always read that an enema can interfere with doctor's ability to perform a fecal occult blood test. That's not a good thing if you are too young to get colonoscopies on a regular ten year basis. If you are in your 20s to age 50, a fecal occult blood test done by your ObGYN doctor may be your only test for colon cancer until it's too late and you have it. Everyone should have that done at least once a year, so ask your doctor if he or she is doing it and what the results are. The doctor can tell you the results immediately after he puts the drops on the smear to develop the test. My wife's GYN doctor did it for her.

My wife and I have conjoint physicals done by a PA that works at our doctor’s office. I am 47, and she just turned 37. We are too young for routine colonoscopies, but I have a rectal exam as part of my physical, and she has a rectovaginal/rectal exam as part of her physical/gyn exam. The PA does do the fecal occult blood test for each of us.

We don’t give ourselves enemas before our physicals. We just make sure we don’t have to go before our appointment, and it’s never been a problem.

You just have to know that in all of the times a doctor or a PA does a fecal occult blood test on patients that at least some of the time their gloved finger is going up the patient's rectum, they run into a hard ball of fecal matter. So it should be of little concern if it happens to you (but we all know it would be, don't we). At least they would get some actual stool to test instead of just mucous.

I always to an enema the morning or evening before a GYN appointment. My GP has done the Fecal Occult Blood testing. The reason I do the enema is I always get concerned I'm going to be uncomfortable with being "full" or have to excuse myself in the middle of the exam which only prolongs things and gets people pissed off, not to mention it's inconvenient.

The past couple years I will give my wife a White wine enema before we leave home for her exam. She is so relaxed in those stirrups

Ouch sounds very painful ddel.

It was a real pain in the ass.

I always take an enema before any of my doctors appointments.

MrsFn likes me to give her a nice erotic enema session the day before her gyno appointments. I certainly do not mind doing so!

I always do an enema before an appointment. So do my sister and her girlfriend. By the looks of it here it seems pretty common.

Always. She asks for it to be done on her appointment card. She does a poop check before she starts the exam. If you are dirty she checks for constipation then the Nurse gives a salt water and apple cider vinegar enema or two to tidy up before the exam continues. I experienced it more than once. A double-balloon nozzle holding back 4 quarts of that mix is a memory. So is pooping in a clear tub in front of her.

Again, I don't know why a Gynecologist would check your anus/rectum for a vaginal exam unless you having a specific problem like a tear or puncture in the lining of your vagina. (I assume it would be called a vaginal fistula.) Forgive my ignorance if I am missing something but wouldn't a gynecologist checking your rectum without knowledge of a specific problem be like a Dentist checking your ears.

My brother is Otolaryngologist (ENT). I know sometimes he finds that an abscessed tooth is a cause of what a patient believes is a sinus problem and vice versa. Therefore I can understand a Gynecologist checking out the anus or rectum of a patient but not on a routine exam.

I always do an enema before going to gyno. Its by my choice.

@Bad_Princess Is that for a real exam or a play exam?? Sounds kinda extreme for a real exam.

@gwhap Depends on what you are looking at. She has mostly Mistresses, Subs and Slaves for clients. Like most people, we don't like to admit to feeling sick sometimes or an injury if it is going to get us into trouble or be embarrassing so we try to hide it. One time Rick made an appointment for me and made me go because I was not keeping, myself clean and started drinking vinegar and gallons of water I thought secretly. instead of doing enemas because it hurt to poop that much water out and put the nozzle in. The reason I did something I was not supposed to do and was afraid to tell him I ran the fucking machine with just the metal adapter on up my arse and bruised things. No bleeding or discharge so I figured it would fix itself. He brought me into the office and stayed in the exam room. She had me strip looked for things then fingered me I squeaked and she had a dirty glove. I was also constipated. Obviously something wrong up there. Slave girls usually are very clean in their holes and don't squeak. So step 1 clean out my mess. Step 2 check for blood in the poop and anything else. I had worms once Rick brought me in for that too. This girl says nothing and tries to fix it herself until it she is scared and it is a real mess. Step 3 take a good look inside the now clean Arse hole into the rectum and bowl. You have a big bruise in your rectum Hellie. Insert camera “See”. No anal play till that clears up. Did you see the bruise, Rick? “Yes.” I am prescribing pain killers and a stool softener. Use laxatives if you must but you have to do something so you do not get constipated. Why are you drinking vinegar? “To heal the bruise.” Stop doing that. Drink pineapple juice or even better eat it. I want to see you again in two weeks." No anal anything until that bruise is completely healed. Treatment success!

This is what she deals with so she looks for anything that is out of the ordinary in us. A dirty poop shoot is a sure sign something is wrong inside because the girl is not keeping herself clean. So clean her out and take a good look. She is not saying anything and hiding something.

@ddell2 Some women here have reported receiving digital rectal exams or recto-vaginal exams during gyn exams with no injuries to the rectal area. In some cases, I reckon that when this happened they were virgins and it was perhaps easier to feel internal organs through the rectum than perform a digital vaginal exam, which would have been impossible or very uncomfortable. Yet, more mature women report receiving rectal exams as well. Probably some real physicians on the site can give us valid reasons for this.

Either I was never a virgin or my regular physician knew the difference between my vagina and my anus/rectum for he never checked my anus and rectum to feel if my vagina was alright. I'm being facetious but seriously I can't remember my regular physician digitally examining me deeply until college age and I had a very good regular physician. He did ask very intimate questions regarding my bowel movements and periods and my physicals included complete blood tests.

I take, or rather am given, enemas before appointments with my gynecologist and urologist, because they both do some form of rectal exam. However, neither of them does a guaiac stool test.

I do not take an enema before my annual exam with our internist, because she does do a guaiac after my rectal exam.

@Tone49 Do you get a rectal exam every time?

I shower thoroughly, no enema. I’ve never been asked to for a gyno exam, although I have been instructed to take a Fleet prior by GI docs.

@ddell2

Contrary to what you may think and your gynecologist's habits, a recto-vaginal examination is quite common in gynecological consultations.

This is not related to the patient's possible virginity, and fortunately, all good practitioners are perfectly aware of the difference between the orifices presented to them.

In practice, inserting a finger into the rectum at the same time as the vagina allows for a different approach to the back of the uterus and precise palpation of the ovaries. Similarly, the condition of the pouch of Douglas and the presence of any suspicious contents can be assessed.

However, I am quite surprised by some comments. In France, in particular, the search for traces of blood in the stool is not part of the gynecological procedure.

During the examination on the gynecology table, one can indeed imagine that the position may trigger the urge to defecate. This is rarely the case.

It is recommended to use the toilet before entering the office to avoid urgent urges.

However, if the rectum is not completely empty, this does not interfere with the diagnostic procedure, and if you bring back a soiled finger cot, there is no need to panic.

Consequently, recommending an enema before visiting your gynecologist would be pointless, even far-fetched. I am obviously not referring here to playful or sexual role-playing.

@Franklin58200 You are mixing apples with oranges or in the case protoglists with gynecologists and general practitioners. I should hope that my doctors know the difference between my vagaina and anus. I was being funny but I guess it didn't translate. The question was do take an enema before a doctor's appointment. I pointed out that I did when I went to a protoglists when I had a fistula. I see no reason to take an enema to visit a gynecologist or general practitioner. If my gynecologists ever did a digital examination of my anus/rectum even when I was pregnant, I don't remember it. Remember I don't have a prostate. Furthermore, when I have my feet in the stirrups, it doesn't make me want evacuate my bowels.

Laura and I always take enemas before our gyn exams, we just want to be clean for our NP. During our last exam she told us she noticed that we're always clean and empty and she thanked us for being considerate.

I'm afraid you're confusing things yourself.

The original question is indeed "Enemas before gyno appointment?"

Your 2021 posts don't refer to your proctologist. Your relationship with him and your primary care physician has nothing to do with the question.

I can confirm, however, that a recto-vaginal examination is not solely related to a patient being a virgin, and that in conventional medicine, an enema prior to a gynecological appointment is not necessary.

@Franklin 1) Alright, let me make myself crystal clear. Would I take an enema before a visit to my gynecologist? No I wouldn't. Anymore that I would take an enema before a visit to my otolaryngologists nor dentists.

2) My reference to guessing that I never was a virgin was to another poster (@Pecan_nutjob) stating that a gynecologist digitally examining a female actually because she was a virgin. Again I was attempting to be funny.

3) All four of my siblings chose a medically field as their vacation. Two are physicians and one has a PhD in some field that I don't know what the hell it is and did cancer research for a pharmaceutical company. I chose a much more exacting field as my vacation was in high tech. I only dealt with two numbers but I knew when I had it right unlike medical and pharmaceutical fields. I've been poking fun at the medical field since my college days. Oh! We are sorry that you are now addicted to OxyContin that we gave you for your sprained ankle.
