Gynecological chair?

Have some ladies here been examined in gynecological chairs (seated legs apart in supports), as opposed to a device where one lies on the back?

Which country was it?

My impression is that they are not common in Western countries but I may be wrong.

No, but would love to be!

I had several in my office and most pts like the lithotomy chairs. Only problem was when the pt was over 250# the motor was strained, so we had to be selective on who got the chairs. Now have 2 in my basement collecting dust.

Standard here in germany

As far as i have seen is it common in The Netherlands, gynecologists use “gyro” chairs with knee rests. Chairs with foot rests are rare. Family doctors (called huisarts in dutch) sometimes have gyro chairs, i had a doctor like that who had also a chair with foot rests.

I myself have a gyro chair with knee rests. Electrical with very silent motors. Up and down and with the possibility to move the patient backwards and forward. i use a pedal on the ground for the motors.

I had exams in Hungary and Germany at multiple providers, and chair seems to be the norm here. I've experienced tables with stirrups only in really old post soviet equipment offices.

Interesting. I had a gyn exam in Germany in the early 80s with a German doctor. Loved that gyn chair! Very comfortable. Wish they had them here.

I had a cystoscopy in a chair but it was a urologist not a gynecologist.

How does a woman feel while she is seated in there? Do you feel vulnerable

Vulnerable? No more than usual. It was more comfortable than the usual exam table.

I don't get this whole vulnerable/ embarrassed thing. All parties concerned know why we are there. It's just how it happens.

In Poland I never seen stirrups chair. Numerous of them (i have around 30) was with knee supports and they can be regulated. But they are comfy, specially during procedures

My previous gyno had one of these electric chairs (that doesn't sound right). It actually made things very easy and was quite comfortable.

These have been around a long time. I remember them on L&D and in some OR's. When I worked at the OB?GYN clinic they had one but they used it for surgeries and things like cryosurgery, cone biopsies, etc. The doctor I go to now has some but I have never been on one. She is up to date on new things. I mean her lights are mounted on the ceiling and dangle down. Well, they don't really dangle they are on an arm that can be rotated, raised up and down, and use LED lighting. She can move the exam tables anywhere in the room and still use that light. So I expect her to have only the chairs soon and probably keep a few exam tables for one reason or another. I mean we only go once a year.

“Yeah, but what about us grils?" ( Very old joke, but anyhow…) On the matter of “gyno chairs”… If you enter gynecological examination chairs or tables on Bing (or whatever search engine you use) you get pics of a LOT of different equipment/designs. It would be helpful if someone posted a pic of what they are talking about somewhere to avoid some of the confusion. To my point, however, I have been searching for several months to find a gyno table/chair with stirrups for my “e-nurse” to equip her “office”. The idea of being flat on your (my) back, legs up and over stirrups, butt fully exposed for her to do any of the many things she does to my butt (as in putting things in it …fingers, enemas, dildos, e-stim anal plugs, etc) is a total turn on for me. And I'd be willing to bet there are other guys out there that feel the same. I don't know that there is any embarrassment involved for me, but there probably would be for others. Anyhow, there is an attraction for this kind of equipment on the male side of the world!!! Let's hear from them/us, too!!

Common in Australia

i bought one from a hospital surplus sale and its so much fun
