Ever been subjected to an anoscope?

I got an exam with an anoscope a few weeks ago.

I posted elsewhere in less detail about this. I was having the second DRE in a week after a first doctor thought there was a nodule in my rectum. A more senior doctor was checking me before referring me for a sigmoidoscopy. A very lengthy DRE started the session. Then as it finished I was told 'Don't go anywhere!' The cold, lubricated anoscope came next. But there was no warning. And I didn't see what it was until I turned round after withdrawal to have a look.

I was in the Sims position the whole time. But at least there was nothing suspicious up there - it turned out.

I had one a number of years ago before colonoscopies became popular. The doctor projected all of the images on to a tv screen. It was interesting but not at all painful as he moved slow especially around the bends. I was draped but did an erection as a female nurse was present

I almost always do an anoscope exam of my play patients, and sometimes a sigmoidscope exam as well. No one has ever complained, and most have asked for a repeat exam. I start the procedure by performing a thorough digital rectal exam. If necessary I will administer a small volume enema to clear out the rectum. A larger volume enema risks finding some water retained during the procedure, which is not very much fun for the doc or the patient! After the digital rectal, the lubricated anoscope is inserted, then the obdurator removed. The glass view port is then closed, and the air pump can be used to dilate the inside of the rectum for full viewing. The light source is built into the handle, as is the air pump. I have an album of the procedure on my gallery page, here is a link to the anoscope: https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/76075

Both i a play setting and at the real doctor. It was fun. In the play setting it added a lot to the exam and the doc took photos as it was his thing. At the real doc it was interesting. I've had flexible sigmodiscopy, and anoscope as part of a check when I was hit with a ball during a game (long story)...That doc was so awesome and handsome that I became erect.

I've posted about this elsewhere but to recapitulate, when I was 15 I noticed blood smeared on the surface of my stool. My mom made an appointment with our family doctor who had me take off my pants and shorts before asking me to assume essentially a knee chest position on a configurable exam table. He proceeded to do a thorough DRE before inserting an anoscope. At the conclusion of the exam he told me he thought it was due to a hemorrhoid and if it recurred I'd need to take an enema before undergoing a more thorough exam. My recollection is that I went home and masturbated.

A very lengthy DRE started the session. Then as it finished I was told 'Don't go anywhere!' The cold, lubricated anoscope came next.

I would love to be examined like that.

Yes, i have had this done on several occasions by primary care physicians, in an urgent care setting, and by a gastroenterologist and a colon and rectal surgeon. Gasto doc also did rigid sigmoidoscopy, flex sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy on different occasions.

Always in a play exam as I am very anally oriented. In real life only a very few times. Once when the doctor suspected piles. It used to be fairly standard at a Sexual Health Clinic here in the UK whenever the doctor took a rectal swab for STIs so he could also visually check my back passage. Sadly this doesn't happen now, you're given the swab and sent to the loo to do it yourself.

I've been examined with an anoscope several times, before my colonoscopy, even had the old fashioned rigid sigmoidoscopy. Nowadays if you need a thorough exam the doctors performs a colonoscopy, which is easier on the patient.

Once, and that was a meeting I would rather not ever repeat! Not pleasant in any way. Embarrassed is one thing, humiliated is another. Discomfort goes with the territory, pain I can live without! Made me convinced that I'd never have anything "back there" larger than a thermometer or enema! Ok, so never say never .... *giggle, blush*

Used one for play exams and real exams! You just feel very full but no pain

No, but I would sure love to receive one. Maybe one of you play doctors?

Came in contact with anoscope several times, and it felt different depending on who gonna examines you and how you felt at all.

Got it 1st time as a 13yo during hospital stay. Received lots of antibiotics which caused diarrhoea, so on one day I recognised blood on the toilet paper. During that time I received quite worse diagnostics so the anoscope was something harmless...

Got it second time when I was in senior class, was brought to hospital because of suspicious appendicitis. But they didn't find anything so they performed nearly any endoscopy on me they had...

And third situation was during basic training when I recognised pinworms. The troop doctor didn't examined me and sent me to a proctologist directly. He performed anoscopy and sigmoidoscopy, gave a recommendation for therapy and reconsultation. Had to visit them several times, first time weekly, than monthly, then quarterly, for about 2 years, and luckily one of the troop doctors stopped it then, because there were no further consequences in these check-ups...

Yes...many times during play examinations

No. But after being on Zity, I suppose a doctor will use one to examine me one day. As long as I’m healthy I will get through it.

My bum has had the pleasure of all things scope related

Yesterday, I had my first experience with a colorectal specialist. I was referred to a colon and rectal surgeon by my primary care physician for hemorrhoids. The condition had resolved itself before my appointment so I was asymptomatic at the time of my visit but kept the appointment anyway. After arriving at the office and completing routine paperwork, a nurse called me to the back and escorted me to a small conference style room where she took my vitals and reviewed my medical history in detail. From there, I was taken to the doctor’s private office where I sat in a chair in front of his desk. He came in a short time later, took a seat behind the desk and proceeded to ask a number of questions about my condition, etc. After roughly 10 minutes of question and answer about my condition, he said “let’s go take a look”. The doctor himself then escorted me to an exam room down the hall from his office. He led me to the end of the exam table and said I would put my knees on the padded platform at the end of the table and bend over the table. He then instructed me to take my pants and underwear down and get on the table. I was a little surprised that he did not have me remove my clothes altogether and put on a gown but my pants at my knees was satisfactory for this exam.

After dropping my pants and underwear and getting into a comfortable position on the exam table, he tilted the table so my head was down and my butt was somewhat elevated. I could hear the doctor pulling on exam gloves and noticed put a head lamp on while he told me he was going to visually inspect the area. I felt him spreading my buttocks apart as he spent several seconds carefully looking at my anus. He pulled the skin apart at various angles and depths to get better views of the anus. He then said he was going to “probe” my anus a bit. I don’t know what he probed with but I believe he used something similar to a cotton swab to further visualize the folds of skin of my anus. After several seconds of the probing, he said “now I am going to insert a finger to feel inside your rectum, I will be gentle.” He proceeded to gently insert his finger and probe the walls of my rectum. Interestingly, he did not appear to exam or otherwise palpate my prostate while he had his finger inside me. He withdrew his finger and stated “I am now going to insert a small tube to be able to see inside.” He spread my buttocks apart by placing his left hand on my left buttock and slowly inserted an anoscope with his right hand. The weight of the instrument was immediately noticeable and I could hear the obturator being removed from the speculum. He gently moved the scope around to better observe my rectum. He removed the anoscope and told me “I am now going to insert a longer tube to view deeper in the rectum.” The doctor then inserted a proctoscope deep into my rectum and removed the obturator from it. He spent the most time with the proctoscope twisting it, moving it in and out, and from side to side to get the best view of all aspects of my rectum. There was a point during this procedure when he said he was going to use some air to get a better view and I could hear him squeeze an inflator bulb and feel my rectum fill with air several times. After withdrawing the proctoscope, he removed his gloves and said to get dressed and have a seat in the chair while he wrote up his clinical notes before handing me some Kleenex to clean up with. The doctor had placed his tools in the sink when he had finished using them, it was interesting to see them. I was impressed with the length and diameter of the proctoscope. It was easily 12 to 18 inches long and I would guess it was at least an inch wide. I was impressed with how painlessly he wielded them and how easily I took them.

He returned shortly thereafter with his report and a recommendation for more fiber in my diet and a prescription for a cream. In all, it was a painless experience and the doctor put me at ease throughout the potentially embarrassing procedure. It turns out, my concerns over seeing a rectal specialists were unfounded. It was a very positive experience.

As a gay top and a medfet patient the only things up my ass are cold steel and the doctor's fingers.

Play Docs tend to give me an enema or two so their equipment doesn't get dirty. I've had prototypes, anuscopes and speculums used during rectal exams over the years. There's something about taking it like a man.

I had one real exam where it was used, an STD clinic I attended at the recommendation of a gay student group to get checked out. They ran a gay male screening timeslot once a week or month. There weren't questions about what positions I take, the anoscope was just introduced as part of the exam after penal swabs. The doctor checked my prostate, then explained he'll use the anuscope. He pushed it in easily enough, retracted the tip, had a look and took a swab. No enema needed, unlike a play doc. He then pulled it out.

As I have a fetish for a full physical I didn't go back because it was all very quick and to the point.

No, it sounds terrifying 😳 ha and yet, intriguing and arousing, if in the right setting. I'd only allow an anoscope to be part of a play exam with someone I trust.

Sure have. Experiences to remember for sure. Super embarrassing, had it done by females and males with their assistants like 7 different times

No, but with the right person I think I'd enjoy it because I'm anal erotic! 😜

Each of my last 3 physical examinations after a DRE, was put in stirrups for another DRE and then the anoscope. Actually don’t mind it and actually enjoy it.

No. I haven’t

I've had one up my behind twice.

Once, after my then gf was fingering me deeply and cut me open with a sharp fingernail. I thought at first I had hemorrhoids because I felt nothing till the next day. Went to a proctologist where he used an anoscope to check me out and with a slight smirk on his face told me I didn't have hemorrhoids but a nice long cut along my anal muscles. Red face for me.

Second time was after an operation and I truly and well developed a case of hemorrhoids. I had an audience of some 4 or 5 doctors/assistants/nurses. Perhaps because they wanted to confirm I wasn't developing any nasty tumors elsewhere after my (successful) operation. I have to say that with real hemorrhoids in the way, the insertion of the anoscope was not very pleasant at all.

Now I have a few old but real anoscopes found at flea markets and they slide in in nothing flat. No discomfort at all.

Nothing to tell here. Not sure if I would want one. A nice DRE, sure.

No, but at one of my family doctor's offices I always noticed a drawer on the exam table clearly labeled "anoscope," below the one labeled "spec."

On the other side of things...they are a lot of fun to use on a patient/submissive/victim...I've never had a pain reaction when I was scoping a play patient, & the biggest issue with them is the intimidation factor. Once I insert the scope, opening it (& the girl) is very enjoyable.As a play doc, I used to just treat it "matter of factly," and do it without "permission" telling her that this is happening now--no chance to back out.That's one of the reasons for a couple or three large enemas, btw, prior to the rectal exams. Empty is good.

Yes, I once had a real exam with an anoscope, but I didn't feel that the sensations were different than with another object, like a transrectal ultrasound, or even a finger. The anus is made to expand when passing stools, it’s the same process.

The more or less humiliating position could also play a role, in my case it was lying on my side, covered with a sheet.

I agree about the sensation of it up my butt. It felt just slightly thicker and more full than the finger during the DRE that just preceded the anoscope. My exam was also in the same position and draping as yours. I laid on the table on my back. As I was unfastening and lowering my pants and underwear, the doctor placed a paper drape over my midsection before I rolled into my left side. When he was finished, I just rolled back over and pulled up my pants while the drape was still covering me. In this fashion, my penis was never exposed to him. I feel that is about the most dignified way to conduct that exam. At least, as dignified as you can be while getting a finger and objects inserted into your rectum.

No, but at one of my family doctor's offices I always noticed a drawer on the exam table clearly labeled "anoscope," below the one labeled "spec."

If I went to a new PCP and saw an entire drawer full of anoscopes, my anxiety, dread, and nervous anticipation would instantly skyrocket! As would my BP and heart rate! Of course, after the physical, if I didn't receive the scope during the exam, I would then feel disappointed.

I received a DRE and a anoscopy from a doctor yesterday. I went in for an appointment with a GI doctor. The appointment started off with a medical student coming in to take my history. Then he told me he’d return with the doctor when he was ready. The doctor and one of his residents came in along with the medical student who I had been speaking to previously. The doctor went over everything and I was told to assume the position. I was kneeling on the exam table and told to lower my jeans and underwear. I put my knees on the knee rest and then lowered my jeans and underwear while he laid a gown over my back for “modesty”. Then told me the table would rise and then tilt forward but not to worry because no one had ever fallen off. He told me it would help to tuck my knees tighter together so I did. Then he told me he’d be looking at the exterior and I felt him spread my cheeks. Then he told the resident to get the lube ready for him and he told me I’d be feeling him insert his finger along with some pressure. He proceeded to insert his lubed finger and feel around. It seemed like he mostly felt the left side and then he told me everything felt fine and that next he’d insert the anoscope to take a look. He held the anoscope beside me where I could see it before he lubed and inserted it which I found kinda funny since I took my glasses off when the table was tilted forward. He told me it shouldn’t hurt but to let him know. He started to insert it and asked again how it felt and I told him it was pinching on the left but tolerable. He looked around then removed it and asked the resident for a four by four and then I felt him wipe me. Then he started to lower the exam table and told me I could pull everything back up. He went on to tell me that I had what he’d call grade 1 hemorrhoids and that other than that my mucosa looked normal and he’d like to follow up in 6 months.

Next time I’ll ask for the gown before the doctor comes in. Had my underwear been any lower I would have exposed everything to the medical student when pulling everything back up.

Sounds like we’ll repeat the DRE and anoscope in 6 months to see how things look.
