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.
