Guys: WHERE was your first rectal exam?

Mine was during my annual physical when I turned forty. Male doc was very good and explained what was going on and it took only about 5 seconds.

At my pediatrician exam office

My first rectal exam was at my doctors office.

My first rectal was when I was 12 or 13 at my pediatricians office. Said that I had a stomach ache and he asked me to remove my pants and underpants and lay on my left side. Seemed like it took forever with his finger inside me but only lasted a few seconds. Thats probably what triggered my medical fetish. I did recently have a prostate screening last May, I requested it since I figured my doctor would be discussing it soon with me which he did at my last appointment a few weeks ago. So I timed that pretty well

At my Pediatricians office when I was a kids

My 1st was just before puberty, around age 11. Our GP was doing a physical on me, and decided I needed a rectal exam. He had me lay on my back with knees drawn up, lubed his finger and my butthole, slid it gently in, then halfway out, then back in to feel "a different part of your rectum". Thing of it is, he repeated this process for 5 minutes, moving his finger in and out faster and harder each time, then began twisting it. The GP was later charged with sexual assault by the parents of another kid a couple years later. He got off though, so to speak.

I was 30 y.o. and it was performed at on site med. facility for corporate job I was pursuing. Remember it very well because the physician was a large gentleman with large fingers and it was rather intense the moment he inserted his finger into me.

In addition his assisting nurse was present also adding embarassment and humiliation to the exam. Fretter

Hospital emergency dept. I was having chest pains, immediately after the EKG the doctor performed a rectal exam. Never did figure out why.

During a preparatory consultation for a hydrocele operation, the surgeon also made a digital prostate exam. He might have proposed a group rate for two interventions!

Mine was for a CDL physical required by my employer. Till that day, I had only a woman's finger inserted into my ass. I was completely naked and the male doctor who I had never met, after checking me on the table, instructed me to step down. I stood there in front of him while he checked for any hernia. He then instructed me to turn around, and bend over while putting my arms on the table for balance. He lubed his gloved finger and inserted it full length into my ass. No warning. He immediately hit my prostate and the exam was just a few seconds. It kind of took my breath away for I had never experienced anything like that. I was 24 at the time.

Mine was a DRE performed by a cute, young, Army PA (being closely supervised by a male physician) at the age of 20 at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn. She also did a hernia check and searched for my hernia scars, but I told her I hadn't seen them since I was 13, as my pubic hair covered the area. I was hoping to have an erection for her, but the supervising doc was quite a turn-off.

First rectal exam was when I was 20 at an employment physical. Definitely something to remember as I did not expect it would actually happen even though it was on the form. Dr was middle aged and pretty straight forward about it. he checked my genitals and then said “ sorry man- I have to poke you in the behind”.

Mine was only a few years ago, when I was already over 70. It was done by a female GP, who told me that she needed to check my prostate. I have already described in one of these topics what happened, and nobody believed me.

Ive only ever had one exam down there, years ago at work of all places had a bunch of bleeding down there and took off to go to urgent care (mostly b/c it went from a couple spots to actively dripping withing the span of an hour). It ended up being a hemorrhoid, and I got some suppoistories to take home, and the bleeding/discomfort cleared up. I havent been back to the doctor since for that issue, even though Ive had a few flare ups, Ive been able to get it under control quickly.

Never had a DRE though….

Mine was at the pediatricians office for constipation

Mine was at my GP, for an adult physical at age 18. My girlfriend was in the room and convinced the doctor to let her stay when she mentioned wanting to study medicine as a profession. The doctor basically gave a play by play of the rectal exam as it happened. It was surprising for me though because I didn't see the glove and tube of KY on the counter in advance of the procedure, but evidently my girlfriend did.

It was at the first visit to a new GP and was unexpected. I don‘t remember my exact age but was between 28-30. The exam was like any other I had, was undressed down to my underwear which I pulled down for the hernia and testicular exams. I thought I was finished until the doctor told me he was going to do a rectal. Knowing what I do now, I should have expected it as his assistant squeezed some lube onto a gauze but I had no clue at the time.

My first rectal exam was at my urologist for a complete checkup. I was not completely sure if I would get a rectal exam. But as my doctor did a very detailled exam a digital rectal and even a rectal ultrasound were done.

My firts rectal exam was with 23 years, done by a female doctor maintaining a general practitioner in his office at a Friday afternoon. I suffered from a chronic pain in the coccyx and wanted an examination, especially that there was no coccyx abscess. Being in the doctors office i explained my problems, dropped the jeans a little bit down, laid down on the table, she looked there and palpated the upper part of the buttock fold. Then told me I should pull down the jeans and panties to mid thigh, i thought i got an injection into the region, but i should turn on the left side bent the knees to the waist, she lifted my right butt cheek, inspected the anus and that I should push like doing a defecation while she put her index finger into my rectum and palpated the coccyx from the rectum, moved the coccyx with her index finger in the rectum and her thumb from outside several times as a manual therapy. At last she palpated my prostate. Then I was told I could stand up and I pulled up everything. She explained that there was a block between sacrum and coccyx, which she had mobilized, but that it should be necessary to do a rectoscopy.

I will be having my first rectal exam soon, and it will be done by my PCP.

Please tell us about your exam, the position and your feelings during the exam.

I have never had one……

AT my GP's office.

Dr's office. My father had prostate cancer so my doc figured I should be checked. Get checked yearly. Had two nephews in their 50s who recently had prostates removed due to cancer. It would seems it runs in the family.

At the doctors office as part of a physical.

During one of the annual complementary physicals at work. I was probably around 40. I forget if the age triggered it, or family history or both. But for the several years prior that I had had annual physicals there, I hadn't had one. And then all of a sudden one year, the plant physician suggested it, and it happened

In the hospital as a patient laying in bed on my side.

Guys: WHERE was your first rectal exam?. Uhhh in my rectum? Next question.

When I was 5 or 4 at my gp before being put on a regular schedule of suppositories and semiregular enemas. I was then given a suppo in the office.

Still waiting. My DR told me that he doesnt do that until 50 - and then went on some tangent about women and pap smears..ha.
