Hi! New here... pelvic exam experience

Hey there. New to this forum but I have been lurking for several months. I had a recent well woman exam which included the usual breast, pap and pelvic exam. The pelvic exam always gets me a little tingly but this experience was different. Here's why...

My husband and I have been exploring how to find the g-spot area for some time and it dawned on me during the exam that the doctor touches the exact same location as the g-spot area when he examines the urethra and bladder area. During the external exam the doctor spreads my labia apart and moves them up to view my clitoris. After this he put one finger in me and stroked the top vaginal wall to check the urethra for any discharge. At this point my body jumped as it felt incredibly sensitive (good 😃. He them performed the bi-manual and slowly and gently pulled his two fingers down the length of my urethra starting from the bladder. I don't think that I've ever had this experience before during an exam. I started to get wet which was a little embarrassing.

Question for any docs out there... since gyno's are quite aware of where the g-spot area is located, and the body's normal reaction to touching the area, do you expect patients to feel sexual sensations? I was wondering if this was some type of test to gauge vaginal sensitivity. I do find it arousing and exciting that a stranger can touch your most sexually sensitive and intimate areas as part of an exam. Do docs ever get excited knowing what this does to a woman? My wandering mind was curious.

Hello! Welcome on this site 😃

G spot isn’t actually a distinct part of female anatomy. It is not mentioned in any medical books nor it is scientifically proven that it actually exists. In some recent studies researchers attempted to find it, but didn't succeed.

However, gynecologist will not touch your clitoris for that matter.

Not a real doc, but a fetish playdoc, and YES, I always seek out the most sensitive spots, but the purpose of my exam is stimulation and excitement, not discovery. I think that docs try to be as "neutral" as possible in order to prevent them being labeled as "abusers" or "perverts." If I was a true Doc, I would be VERY careful with the sensations, as creating a sexual sensation is positive in play, but not so much in a real exam.

Thanks for the reply. I probably shouldn't have used the term "g-spot" as I'm well aware of the medical debate. I don't think there is any debate however that the CUV "clitoris-urethrovaginal complex" exists (supposed location of g-spot), and is quite an erogenous zone on the anterior vaginal wall.

In medical anatomy it's not recognised. There are several articles online about it, if you want to read more.

'Clitoral bulbs, clitoral or clitoris-urethrovaginal complex, urethrovaginal space, periurethral glans, Halban's fascia erogenous zone, vaginal anterior fornix erogenous zone, genitosensory component of the vagus nerve, and G-spot, are terms used by some sexologists, but they are not accepted or shared by experts in human anatomy.'

I'm not sure you what you are debating Ginger. Are you saying those areas don't exist? Every anatomy chart shows them (outside of the g spot of course). From what I've researched the anterior wall of the vagina is very sensitive to pressure and touch.

Hello!

Doing something here I've never done and simply 'bump'ing this topic to the top of the queue for attention.

Not for myself, but for the original poster and anyone else with a similar question. Reading back over the responses, it really doesn't seem like a fair response to simply argue about the legitimacy and existence of the 'g-spot'. Even with my experience as an amateur gynecologist (lol!) [meaning: I've read far more than my fair share of ob/gyn texts and journal articles for a non-practitioner], it's not my understanding that the existence of the g-spot is really up for debate.

What may be up for debate is the specific anatomical explanation of the g-spot as well as the prevalence of it. The spot is there. It's location is well known. Many, if not most, women respond quite positively to the touch and stimulation of it. Regardless of solid research being done to verify what it actually is (I believe it's most likely some vestigal remnants of what would have become the prostate gland before sex-differential cell generation in the early embryonic stages of a fetus' development), ladies seem to enjoy the touching of it. Yes?

So, back to the original question from @emilytrigirl :

Personally, I can vouch for the fact that physicians are always cautioned to insert the speculum downwards at a 45 degree angle (assuming the standard lithotomy position) in order to avoid "causing any discomfort due to the sensitive structures located anteriorly to the vagina". But I've never personally read about any evaluation that would use such a movement to test sensitivity. I love the idea, and will use it in my Tumblr writings, TBH, but the only valid medical reason I can imagine for that type of movement would be to milk the urethra for discharge.

A great question here .... more directly put, as I'm now curious myself ... to all the ladies who have ever had their urethral milked for discharge: Does the milking action trigger any positive/sexual sensations when it's done (assuming there's no pain due to an infection)?

I'll also add ... how often does one's urethra get milked? I don't believe it's part of a standard pelvic exam, have any women here ever had that done?

(As a man the equivalent procedure would be to "stretch and strip" the penis; pull it taught, gently, then run one's thumb and forefinger from the base of the penis to the head, attempting to milk out any urethral discharge -- I've read about it, but never experienced it)

In a gynecological pelvic exam, almost never, but in a urological pelvic exam investigating a bladder issue, quite commonly. Although most people find the manipulation of the urethra/bladder neck for that kind of exam pretty uncomfortable or even painful, so I imagine that overshadows any incidental stimulation of the surrounding erectile tissue for most people during a real urology exam. (A play doctor, free to use a less brusque technique, is another story...)
