Exam chair or table

What type of table or chair does your gyn use?

which do you like better?

From an examiner's point of view if you intend to perform procedures requiring the patient to be "on all fours", if its strictly for a pap smear and pelvic exam than the chair as it provides better back support for patient.

I have only been on the table but would love to ly in a chair and be examined!! A chair sounds more comfortable anyways

What exactly is the difference btwn a table and a chair?

Years ago i watched a film whereby the patient was strapped into this elaborate chair, the doctor sat in front, gowned and gloved and it was the most intenst, erotic examination i have ever seen. This girls pussy was swollen and wet, and the doctor had to lick it, finger it, then fuck it. .. So...Chair for me i guess.

My wife has described being placed on both the table and the chair,, she has been on tables wiht the stirrups down low ust off the corners of the table, she told me the doc had her start the exam by laying back and placing her feet on the corners of the table with her knees apart, he started the exam standing at the end of the table between her knees, and worked hhis way down form her breast to her pubic hair. she had a doc in the 70's that had stirups up around his shoulder height that raised her feet very high and he would adjust them outward after she placed her feet in the strrups forcing her legs way up and back toward her chest.

I have always been examined on the table with stirrps except for the time when we were in Europe and I was in the chair. When I am in the stirrups, my bottom is on the edge of the table, and my legs spread wide, and high in the stirrups. When I was examined in Europe, I sat back in this chair, and placed my legs over a knee rest which spread my up and wide.

My doctor have exam chairs with knee holders.

Always a table here

Go to be a chair, the ones with knee holders that lift ur legs right up

My wife tells me a table for a normal exmam ,chair for the smear etc

Whatever is good.... as long as you can feel horny and orgasm.... hehehee...

I have only ever been examined on an examination couch, we dont seem to have those wonderful chairs in GB! 😢

Going on from this......foot or knee supports....which do you prefer and why?

Mine have always been done on a table but a chair sound more comfortable

The positions for a pelvic vary in different parts of the world. Almost all German exams seem to be with leg holders as oppsed to sturups with the table back almost vertical. Then there is The UK position wich I beleve to be with the woman on all fours and face down.

The conventional dorsal lithotomy position provides excellent exposure for inspection of the vulva, inserting a vaginal speculum, and performing a bimanual exam.

Because of illness, injury, or special circumstance, some patients require alternative positions, equipment, or techniques.

Some of these advanced pelvic exam techniques, including:

* Frog-leg position

* Knee-chest position

* Lateral position

I agree with diaphram fitter.. except I believe that the "standard" exam position for the UK is the frog position, no the all-4's position as he states.

Only on a table and without stirrups...love the idea of being examined with my legs in those though...must find a new gp!

I've only be examined on an exam table, with feet in stirrups. but would love to be examined on a gynecological chair, it would be very exciting. i especially love the powered, reclining exam chairs they have in Japan. i love the way they swivel, recline and position the patient for maximum exposure. they look so high tech, and comfy too.

DR rob can u help me im in urgent need of a doctor in melbourne

I will go with the chair. For me I have had both. My first time was the chair and there was a screen between the chair and the door. The next time I had the exam done was on a reg. exam table and the table was right in front of the door and the nurse pract. kept on getting interupted... rather embarrassing!

A friend of mine was with his wife during an infertility screening. This was their first time at this particular office and the first time she was ever seeing a male gyno. The office had a chair and when the doctor started moving the chair around with my friend's wife in it, he looked at my friend and said, "Don't get any ideas, after I leave."

Definitely a table for my gyn.....That way, when he tells me to scoot down for the exam......I just lift my bum and slide down...Oh, but stirrups are at the end too......Haven't had any babies yet,so never had more than a basic exam...

Great fro the observing partner point of view. also the for Doc ergonomics point of interest.

Nnnurse, by chance do you recall the name of that ferotic examination ilm you saw? sounds wonderful i would love to know more about it. thanks, jodi

I have always been on a table. Would like to try the gyno chair aleast once. But I am not sure how often the chair is used in the U.S.

I've benn examined in both position table with stirrups and chair with white plastic knee rest. Whith the stirrups legs spread wide, and high because of the gyno choice for the location. When I am now examined sat back in the chair my legs over a knee rest legs spread too up and wide. There is less freedom to move in that case. The impression is to be more exposed having no control.

In Germany exam tables are very rare, common is th exam chair with leg holders or th new ones just with a foot rest on either side for more control to the patient. Speaking for myself, I was examined only on a achair, never on a table but also on one of these electric powerded chairs when i was in asia. You didn't see the doctor coming while there was acurtain in front of you and you never saw him what he is doing. Very strange, but it got a point...

How is the all-4's position you talk about in precedents replies?
