Abdominal auscultation

Out of interest, did he develop a medical fetish thing out of these sorts of experiences too? Perhaps he might not have told you he did, because some brothers definitely wouldn't share that with each other, but have you ever suspected he did? Ever wondered if he owns a stethoscope like you like do?

We are pretty close, but I've never suspected that he had the same interest develop as I did.

I had chronic indigestion, and the gastroenterologist did apply a stethoscope to my abdomen. I personally didn’t get aroused by it. I only had an erection when a very attractive female intern was listening to my chest, in the E.R.

Abdominal auscultation is kinda undervalued but can be important, mainly in 2 types of presentations. In a well person exam you're listening for bruits. These are the equivalents of murmurs but not originating in the heart. They stem from a disruption of smooth, laminar flow and might originate from an aneurysm or arteriosclerotic narrowing. Disease of the abdominal aorta might be audible midline above the umbilicus (belly button). The abdomen is auscultated with the diaphragm of the stethoscope because it discerns higher pitched sounds better. The second situation where auscultation is valuable is when a patient presents with abdominal pain. If there's an intestinal blockage the bowel sounds might be higher pitched and shorter rather than normal lower pitched intestinal rumbling (borborygmi). If for whatever reason the intestines have stopped their rhythmic contractions and become totally quiet (like maybe due to a perforation and resultant sepsis) you'll hear no bowel sounds at all. So overall, auscultation can be quite useful.

I love abdominal auscultation, especially during a play doctor exam. It's very personal, intimate & revealing.

A childhood abdominal exam is really what got me into medfet in the first place so it’s a favorite topic of mine. Many fantasy scenarios include a long abdominal exam full of extensive auscultation and palpation.

I've just recently encountered how erotic and intimate an abdominal auscultation can be. It's such an intimate part of an exam. That whole doctor-patient synergy, is realized both from a clinical and intimate standpoint. Keyword is intimate. Intimacy adds to that whole erotic element that builds on the fascination with being examined. It's personal. No words have to be spoken; does it enter into the metaphysical realm?

Rather palpate than listen

I just went to my regular doctor. I never got on the table, just sat in the chair and she listened to my heart and lungs, then lifted my shirt up and listened to my belly

Of course I'd rather palpate too, but one must not skip inspection, auscultation and percussion...all important parts of a most thorough abdominal examination. I still encounter young women who find auscultation of bowel sounds to be embarrassing. One young lady said "it's so weird that you can hear them....i don't like that" with a laugh and a blush. Another smiles when I listen to her bowel sounds and giggles if I comment. She gets really sheepish when I listen to her aorta as she can feel the stethoscope bouncing up and down on her tummy. My Welch Allyn Harvey DLX is the coldest steth I have, and that's good for some laughter and squirming, but a few minutes in the freezer is good enough for my Erka Finesse, Harvey Elite and the others. Sometimes they comment on how warm my hands are in comparison to the steth.

I did this a couple of times with my ex girlfriend, having her lie naked in bed. There really is a lot to listen for, it's almost a playground! Truly amazing how thoroughly you can listen to someones' body sounds.

It's the same when I'm in the patient role lying on the bed stripped down to my boxers. My girlfriend will listen to all four quadrants for ages describing the sounds inside and letting me know "you have a very active tummy". It's sensual having an ice cold stethoscope moving over my bare skin to listen to the sounds in my belly.

When I examine a woman, my favorite part is bare chested auscultation of lungs and heart, followed by breast exam. Then I like to auscultate the belly, listening to the abdominal aorta and bowel sounds, then deep palpation of the belly. Remember one super petite 22 year old I examined years ago. It was her first time to be stethed bare chested since she was a little girl, her first breast exam, and first belly exam. Everything inside her was so easy to hear and feel.

I absolutely love people listening to my belly because I always have very active bowel sounds and so they definitely get to hear what a belly sounds like

I almost prefer it over palpation. It’s an oddly intimate moment where someone gets to listen to a part of my body that, honestly, only my sexual partners have. I love the silence in the room and the focus of the doctor.

As someone who's had IBS for years, both my ob-gyn and my primary care listen to my abdomen (bowels) and palpate the abdominal area during my check ups. I don't really find it erotic or exciting in the settings it happens in. As anyone with IBS can tell you, it's not a fun time when you have a flare.

That makes a lot of sense. So for you it’s more of a concerned clinical moment to make sure everything is ok?

Yes. When my abdomen is being examined, I'm definitely not in any sort of fantasy or fetish head space. Just hoping nothing out of the ordinary is felt or heard!
