Did your Pediatrician spread your butt cheeks to visual look at your anus?

Yes he did and he even put some lube on his finger and firmly but gently pushed it into my little rosebud hole to his second knuckle. Trying to remember, I was around 7 or 8 at that time. It hurt a little but at the same time it felt strange. He told my mother that he was checking to see if I was impacted and if I needed an enema.

How many young women have been told to roll over on their stomachs during physicals by regular doctors who spread their cheeks or inserted fingers up their rectum? If so were you in a gown or not?

I can't imagine why a doctor would do that...

No. I never had a pediatrician examine my rectum or do a DRE. I did have a nurse roll me onto my stomach and spread my legs to insert an enema prior to having my tonsils taken out when I was around 12. Another nurse watched.

Not that I recall.

Oh yes! All the time, every exam!

Got a rectal temperature taken every time as well, even through teen years!

Got my first finger exam rectally at 16!

Yes, he did, but when I was standing, I had to turn around, bend forward with my arms on the exam table and then he did a visual inspection of my anus, but no rectal palpation. The first time I got a rectal palpation was by a public health doctor when I was 15.

Yes, Mark. My pediatrician did this to me. He even asked me to reach around and hold my cheeks open for him as he began that portion of the exam after first spreading them himself for a simple visual inspection.

I don’t know. That’s just weird. That is almost sexual abuse in my book. Unless they have a reason to, they should not do that. The only time ANYTHING happened to me was when I was constipated, I had an enema (worst experience of my life) and I was crying and shaking. Then the second time, the doctor did stick his finger there because my poop was too hard to pass so he did what was called “decompactment” (hurt like a mf) and then got an enema. I have hated enemas ever since & I find it INSANE that people on here actually like them. Obviously, the people here that said they’d give me one, I am like, “Unless you are a liscensed doctor and have a reason to, then no you are not.”

This has never happened to me growing up at all. Just reading this thread is new to me.

I concur, sassy chick. That was sexual abuse.

It is called [fecal] disimpaction. You can look it up.

NO it isn't.

Disimpaction is a real medical procedure used to manually remove feces that is too hard to pass.

You guys don't know what you are talking about.

I had a friend that had to have it done and the doctor was in there digging out the cement like feces and throwing it into a pan with a clang. The nurse was running around spraying air freshener and my friend was so embarrassed. Anyway it explains why sassy hates enemas and it probably was a fleet making it even worse.

@SwitchableSusie- you missed my point. I wasn’t referring to the disimpaction.

Pretty harsh to tell people they don’t know what they are talking about.

I was talking about something that happened to me, and I most certainly know exactly what I am talking about.

Sooooo, Susie, you are he only one in the whole Forum who knows what he/she is talking about, eh?!

Sassy chick's account of her enema and disimpaction does not factor into the dialogue between the two members.

Yes.

I vividly recall being about 13 years old and going for my physical exam and lying on my back as my doctor pulled my underwear down and examined my penis and testicles. Because this was my first exam as a pubescent kid, I was surprised and shocked and probably not a little excited too. Then he asked me to roll over on my stomach and before I knew what was happening, he'd pulled down my underwear and I felt the cool air on my bare cheeks. And I could feel my heart thumping in my chest realizing that he was looking at my exposed bottom. Then suddenly my heart started beating twice as hard as I felt his fingers pull my bottom wide apart and realized he was inspecting my anus. It seemed like I was open like that forever thought it was probably only a few seconds.

I couldn't stop thinking about it all the way home in the car. That night was the first time I looked at my own anus in the mirror.

Yes aged 7yo at my school medical exam, he had me bend over and he spread my butt cheeks and touched my anus, I shot up like it was an electric shock

Yes, once when I was 12 at a school physical

I don’t recall the doctor ever spreading my but when I was younger

Yes, my doctor would have me stand and he would take the back of my underwear down, spread my cheeks and visually check my anus.

Never.

Yes starting at the age of 13 he would spread my cheeks and do a visual check and then a check with a very well lubed finger

My pediatrician never asked me to spread cheeks for any reason.

The school doctor spread mine and touched my hole. I jumped up like I'd been electrocuted! Lol It was in 1988 I was 7

Mine absolutely didn’t. My butt was completely ignored in every exam through puberty.

I don't remember that until I was 18 and my doctor took my rectal temperature and then inserted finger for rectal exam

No my Pediatrician never spread my butt cheeks to look at my anus ever very weird to think that a pediatrician would do that

Never happened to me...

I never had a pediatrician examine my anus
