Do all doctors wipe after doing a rectal examination?

My rectal & family dr apply lube to the rectum prior to them examining the area. After the exam they wipe me.

Do all doctors do this?

I dont get why I just can't wipe myself

It's extremely uncomfortable, I feel like alittle kid.

I don't have a “rectal” doctor. But when I get a prostate exam they simply point me to a box of tissues so I can wipe myself. Never had a doctor do that for me.

Different doctors do a Rectal Exam their way. Some perform them standing with you bent over the exam table, others on your left side, others while your feet are in the air. I may have had the doctor wipe my rectum when I was smaller or parents may have. As I am older when the doctor performs a rectal exam I wipe myself.

Know for me, I was given a tissue to wipe with after the rectal.

My pediatrician used to wipe me and my playdoc does but my regular Doctor gives me tissues to clean up with.

Well, I wish I had nice doctors like yours. None of my doctors have ever wiped my butt after a prostate exam, nor offered me any tissue to clean it myself. So far, I have had 3 rectal exam, and every single time, I left the clinic with an arse full of lube and an underwear with lube coming from my arse.

Same like Katashi. Neither my pediatrician nor those doctors or nurses in hospital wiped my bum afterwards (only seldom cases).

As a kid in hospital I first wondered why a lot of kids have a wet looking spot at their bottom side of their sweatpants, till I found out I had the same. For taking ma temp the nurses used a lot of gel, whatever it was exactly. Sometimes I went to toilet afterwards to clean myself. After examinations (I received several uncomfortable examinations when I was 13 and suffered from peeing blood for unknown reason), there was so much lube between my cheeks and inside me, that felt badly weird.

Nope. Not all doctors wipe you after performing a rectal exam on you. Some don't even offer you a tissue to do it yourself.

I've only had 2 DRE's performed by my usual family med doctor. When he's done, he takes off his gloves, throws them away, then sits on his stool on the other side of the exam table and either begins writing in my chart or resumes talking to me about my exam. While doing this he is blocking the path to the tissues (it's a very small exam room). I don't think he does it on purpose, it's just what is habit to him. So when he removes his finger from my butt, I stand up while pulling my pants up, fasten them, and immediately sit down to finish our conversation about my health. All this while enjoying the squishy feeling between my cheeks. I personally love the gentle reminder of what just took place!

You are a big girl or boy and you can wipe yourself lol

Now I would love to see your exam with your feet up in the air!!

My doctor would do it both ways. Sometimes he would take tissues and wipe me after the exam and sometimes he’d just put a box of Kleenex near me without saying anything while he’d continue on with whatever he was going to do next. Like you I hated it when he’d wipe me himself, I always felt like I was a big girl and could do it better myself.

My Proctologist always wipes me but my family dr does not after he performs a DRE.

I HATE BEING WIPED, I'd rather do it myself.

Haven't had a rectal “yet” myself.. will have a TON in some playmeets soon.. but I'd expect, and really appreciate in a real appointment or non-nasty play scene, if the doc wiped and cleaned me up, after doing stuff like that to me. It's…rare that I find caring people in healthcare in this day and age, where everyone is sue-happy, and gives zero fucks about fellow-man/women.

Hell, wouldn't mind if the doc helped undress/dress me either. The assistance and care would in all aspects would be highly appreciated. But, that's just me.

My rectal dr always wipes my bottom but my family dr does not after a DRE.

When I perform rectal exams as a play doctor, I almost always wipe the patient myself because it really does, quietly, add just that little extra bit of humiliation to the proceedings. Not only has the doctor been IN there, now he's also wiping around there.

The last rectal exam I received from my real doctor, though, he did not wipe.

When my family doctor does my rectal exam i am on my knees and he does not wipe so i get off the table and get wipes off the counter and do it my self.

Dr never wiped me however he gave me a box of tissues so I could wipe myself.

My Doc always wiped after my rectal.

I’m bent over the table, legs spread…when he pulls out he says “stat there, I’ll wipe this up.”

I appreciate it.

I'm handed a box of tissue to wipe after the rectal exam at my doctors office.

Usually a box of tissue on the counter to be used by patient. Never has my Dr wiped.

It seems to vary from place to place. After my first DRE at a posh clinic in Harley Street London the nurse who was in attendance wiped me while I was still laying on the table with my knees bent up and the doctor was taking his gloves off while telling me everything was normal and my prostate was small. At my second one at another clinic the doctor offered me a box of small tissues which could have been a bit bigger to be honest. And at two other clinics I was just left to sort myself out, although to be honest I wasn't particularly wet on those occasions…

I've been to a couple rectal specialists for minor issues. One of them would wipe me clean before leaving so I could get dressed; the other one would leave me to do it myself.

Standard procedure is to have the patient do it themself.

I’ve been given tissues but never wiped

Never had the provider wipe. Sometimes you get tissues, sometimes not.

The dr has wiped me, but I prefer to do it myself.

I've had two rectal exams. The first one the doctor finished, he got up and said everything looked good. I was to pull em up and go to the waiting room. He left the door wide open and there was no tissue to wipe.

The second time, at another doctor, after she finished she closed the door and said to get dressed. I was to meet her at the desk. There were napkins for me to wipe with.

Never had more than just a quick peek, would expect the doctor not to wipe, though.

One of the best parts of an exam, is having to get dressed without being able to wipe! You're cold, sticky, wet, and goopy. Walking around like that, having to deal with staff, paying the bill, and scheduling a follow up appointment. Best of all you can still smell that unique ky smell.

I have always been told by my doctor that there are tissues near the sink for me to clean up with as she and her chapperone nurse leave me to get dressed.
