Prostate exam

I had a prostate exam a week or two ago. I have been having some pain in my private area and in my lower back and I had to go see a urologist. I am 27 and have never had any problems with that part of my body before and have never had my prostate checked before. I saw the nurse practicioner her name was Carla she was a tall slim brunette with a beautiful face and super hot body. I am guessing she is close to my age and around 25 to 30. I had a ultrasound of my bladder done by the nurse and I had to have a urine sample taken. When doctor Carla came in she talked to me and asked me questions about what was going on and why I was having problems and asked me what symptoms I had. It was just me and her in the room alone with the door closed and I think the rooms next door were unoccupied so everyone else was at the other end of the hall. So we had our privacy. She told me to stand up and take my jeans and underwear down. So I stood up and slowly loosened my belt and fly and zipper and lowered my jeans right in front of her I asked do you want them all the way off and she said no just down to your knee is fine. So I lowered my jeans to my knees and then lowered my boxers. She took and cupped my testicles and rubbed them and asked me where my pain was so I took my finger and pointed and said right there. She felt around and caressed them and touched the shaft of my penis a second or 2 and then she cupped my testicles again and told me to cough. So I did. She then told me she was going to check my prostate. I told her I have never had one before and I asked her if it will hurt and she said no you will just feel a lot of pressure. She told me to turn with my back to her and bend down and lean on the exam table. I bent over in a doggy style position and she said nope don't bend that far. Just stand up and bend a little bit. So I did. I says to her please be gentle. I was getting nervous and she started to part my cheeks I tensed up and she said relax it will be quick. She went to part my cheeks again and stopped and said just relax for me ok. So I tried to do as she said. She parted my cheeks again and said ok ready and I said yea and she plunged her finger in me and went further and further. There was a lot of pressure and it did hurt and I let out a couple moans and crys awwww hawwwww awwww ummmmm holy shit I said. It felt a little soar when she did it but I kinda felt a little good too. She was very gentle compared to other doctors I have had gone up my rear. She told me that my prostate was tender and larger then it should be. She prescribed antibiotics and said I have a prostate infection. Which I am still trying to get over. So far it has been several weeks and no improvement. I hope if she is right and it is prostatitis that is the temporary acute kind and not the chronic kind. I truly hope that I get better soon the pain in my lower back and private area is unbearable.

I've had 2 prostate exams--both performed by male doctors. The first was with my old PCP (an older, male internal medicine doctor) and there was a witness but that was just because a female medical student was observing all my doctor's visits. More recently I was having some urinary issues so went to a urologist--he did the prostate exam without anybody else in the room.

I had a physical from my female doctor about a month ago. After she checked my heart and abdominal area, she said she needed to do a "male exam" and would have to get a nurse to come in. After a few minutes, she came in with the nurse, who stood off near the side of the exam room. The doctor then told me to lower my pants so she could do the genital exam. She put on a pair of rubber gloves and put her hand on my scrotum, feeling each testicle. She then made my turn my head and cough for the hernia exam. After she completed that exam, she told me to "lean over the table." As I did so, she changed gloves and opened a small package of lube. Without saying anything, she inserted her finger into my rectum and examined my prostate. The exam only lasted a few seconds, but it felt like hours! After she finished, she handed me a box of tissue and told me I could wipe. I remember thinking there couldn't be anything more embarrassing then wiping the lube off your butt with two women watching!

Maybe. How about one woman watching as another woman lubricates her gloved finger, then gently spreads your cheeks apart, finds your pink, puckered hole, then gently applies pressure until her finger slides deep into your rectum. In other words, isn't the rectal exam itself the most embarrassing part? Either way, it's all good. 😃

Never had that happen... every time so far (not that often) it's been my doctor (F) leaves the room to let me change into a gown and remove all underwear, returns (yes, there's a chaperone present), does the exam, then puts the tissue on the table for me to wipe, then leaves so I can clean up and dress.

When my PT did pelvic floor evaluations and treatment (no chaperone) he finished up by wiping the lube off. That was unexpected but not as embarassing as it would seem, after all he had just had his finger up my ass for a good 10-15 minutes. Yes, it was that long because they do check out all the pelvic floor muscles that they can reach.

Both the Dr and the PT were pretty good. They didn't rush things and so it wasn't painful or too uncomfortable considering (well, the PT was painful but I was expecting that, the initial pelvic floor muscle assessment exam wasn't bad at all).

I have had two prostate exams since I turned 50. The first appointment after I turned the female Dr told me that she was going check my prostate and that I would need a colonoscopy since I turned 50. A year later my wife went with me to the Dr. (not sure why she wasn't there for my 50 yr checkup). I told her that they might check my prostate. She said she was going to leave the room if the Dr did one. I wasn't sure if she was joking or not. The Dr. did a prostate check and my wife stayed in the room. While I had my underwear down she also started talking to the Dr about what my wife calls my botched circumcision and the Dr. looked at that too.

I have had several prostate exams by both male doctors and female NP's. I prefer the females. The only time that a nurse(female) was there as a chaperone the exam was done by a male urologist. The same nurse was present for the biopsy. My wife did witness one exam with a different male urologist.

I have had numerous prostate exams - all but one by a male doctor and all were with only the doctor in the room (except once when a male med student was present). A female Dr had me strip naked and put on a gown and then gave me a complete physical including testicle check, hernia check and prostate check. See seemed a little nervous or uncomfortable during the genital checks.

Since the last post, I have had another prostate exam by a male Dr. My wife was in the room for that too. No problems. I also had a prostate biopsy. As I was being lead back, I asked the nurse if my wife could be present for part or all of that. The nurse went out and got my wife which was present for the whole procedure of me getting an ultrasound probe shoved up my ass, a couple of injections, and then 12 samples being taken.

The idea of having a witness never occurred to me. My male doc used to do it every year as part of my physical laying on my side. At the VA my female ARNP did it on our first meeting and just had me drop em and bend over the table. The only other time at the VA was when she had a trainee (female) who also had me bend over the table. My new female hometown doc has me bend over the table with no witness.

How about the idea,

As God is my witness...
