Abdominal palpation

What's it like to palpate a female tummy? Is it very soft? Do you get turned on when you press on their abdomen, do they easily feel discomfort when you press deeply

It is very soft, and they do feel discomfort. It tickles them too.

It's very nice to examine my partners tummy (as I it for her when she does mine!).

It's nice and soft as I press into her as I palpate and also as I put the cold stethoscope on her to listen to the sounds in her tummy.

Palpating a woman's belly is a very pleasant moment.

It's part of the doctor's game and it shouldn't be unpleasant for the partner. It shouldn't be painful unless there is an abdominal problem.

Hands are placed flat (except at the edge of the crease in the groin) and palpate with reasonable pressure to perceive the organs. A variant can be to combine the palpation of the lower abdomen with a vaginal touch (two fingers inserted towards the top of the vagina) This makes it possible to become aware of the volume of the uterus and the ovaries and to feel the cervix.

Attention, a palpation is a gesture that recalls a medical gesture for diagnostic purposes, this should not be confused with a massage for therapeutic or relaxation purposes.

I'm a bit of a specialist in palpation of the female abdomen, so naturally I'm a little biased. I love everything about it! I find that when my patients have an open mind and a relaxed abdominal wall, it's a good time for both of us. It's ok if she's a little tense and ticklish, as this leads to a squirmy giggly patient, which is also fun. I enjoy being able to feel the different layers of the belly as I progress from light to moderate to deep and then bimanual palpation….I can usually outline the various muscle groups, the more superficial internal structures and the deeper organs. Even when I'm deep in a young woman's belly with both hands, I take great care to be gentle and slow so as not to cause undue comfort. Most of my patients had no idea that the doctor could feel their organs with their hands and some can't recall ever having a doctor examine their bellies. Some of my patients end up really enjoying the sensations that they experience as I touch some of their insides, some have said “oooh that's never been touched before”. I am very thorough and they appreciate it.

To further answer the OP's question, I find that even very fit, athletic young women with sound abdominal musculature, will relax enough and be quite soft if you are gentle enough and take your time. I've gone very deep and felt many of the internal structures in some very strong athletes.

I like to feel& palpate a nice abdomen. Especially if the abdomen is tight and hard. Also, a good auscultation is always necessary for me!

It’s very nice examining a female belly. My ex-girlfriend had a very smooth, soft belly and loved having it palpated
