Does anyone here still get their temperature done rectal at a real doctor

Mine is taken with the forehead kind of thermometer during “well check” visits but at “sick” visits it’s always taken rectal….yes I’m talking about a REAL LEGIT Doctor! NOT a “play” doctor! I’m talking the real deal, diploma from a medical university….

Does anyone else have the same

Having a strong rectal temperature fetish, it has been my phantasy thoughout my life to have my temperature taken rectally at a doctor.

I had my rectal temperature taken at a family doctor at 6 before a vaccination shoot and I hated it.Then, just as I turned 18, an attractive female schooldoctor inserted a thermometer inside my rectum as part of my last high school physical .I felt humiliiated but also thrilled.

Later, as an adult, I got a few earthermoleter and recently some of thiose laser gun fronthead thermometesr. But never a thermometer in my butt

So, if I may ask,, is it your doctor's .initiative to take your rectal temperature or did you request it? What kind of doctor is he ? ,How old is he ?

And how does this rectal temperature exam take place ? Does the doctor do it hilself or does the nurse? How long does it take ? Does it take place at the beginning or at the end of the exam ? .l

And last but not least, do you

enjoy it ?

I did ask my doctor if my temp could be taken rectally at the office but unfortunately she declined. I am happy that I had the courage to ask her though. I have tourettes and sometimes it's tough to hold a thermometer in my mouth cause of my tics. I did tell her about that and my temperature is taken in my ear instead of my mouth at my annual physicals. But at home, rectal is the only way I take my temp

Not at my doctor's. However, at our nearby urgent care – they have real doctors and nurses – I've seen Allyn-Welch thermometer units with both oral and rectal probes.

@Vicki_V hmm I wonder if rectal temps would be taken at urgent care then?

I hope no one is thinking of using medical professionals in pursuit of kink. This site takes a dim view of such exploitation.

Ok so just to make things clear…..my temperature is taken rectally at sick visits ONLY because when I have fever 🥵 it can be really high and not show up on a forehead or ear thermometer. Also I am a mouth breather and a severe asthmatic so therefore I cannot keep my mouth closed long enough even for a digital thermometer…..so the next best thing is to take it rectal! I have always had it taken that way growing up so it’s just the norm for me. At the beginning of COVID-19 I had mentioned to my doctor that it was how I took my temperature so we came to an agreement that during “well visit” checks it would be done on the forehead BUT on “sick visits” it would need to be done rectal! And no my doctor does not do it; the nurse checks all vitals including the temperature!

It doesn’t feel “good” but it doesn’t hurt either!

It’s how I take my own temperature at home always so it doesn’t bother me but there is also nothing sexual about it!

It seems I need to be more direct.

I've just deleted two posts discussing exactly that. Using medical professionals for kink is unacceptable as it gives a bad impression of this community. And I will remember who posted them, so I hope this is now a strong enough hint that we don't want any more along those lines.

@DrZ I happen to have read a female physician posting in a forum saying that sometimes she gets a male who wants a rectal exam for no medical reason. Such things waste the physician's time and abuse her dignity.

Regarding my post #4: the medical staff in the urgent care in my area treats patients of all ages, including infants. That’s likely the primary reason they have both probes on the Allyn-Welch unit. However, it is conceivable that a nurse would take a rectal temperature of an adult if a legitimate medical condition warrants.

The likelihood of a rectal temperature taking at a medical facility or a doctor’s practice would probably depend on a few variables.

Had a 6 month check up. Vitals were BP and pulse. No temperature taken.

Some facilities/ medical staff don’t even do temperature checks. For those that do, might be their policy, protocol especially if it’s for a sick visit.

A rectal reading would probably still be taken in cases of hypothermia or heat stroke. However, if that was suspected you would likely find yourself in an ER and not an office.

yes that happened to me several years back I had a heat stroke they cut my clothes off and at some point I had a temperature probe put in my butt . After they got my temperature down and I was stable a nurse removed it I had no idea it was even there

The last time I had a rectal temp was probably when I was a little kid.

I’ve never heard of a rectal thermometer being used on adults in any kind of real medical setting. I’m sure that there are instances where it’s done for legit medical purposes, but those are probably few and far between. In my personal experience I’ve never had a rectal temperature taken at any medical situation. It has always been either via the ear or forehead.

It was common in Europe for both kids and adults, years ago. 🌡️

No, but I would love it my doctor did that.

I went to the ER with heatstroke a couple summers ago and immediately got an RT. Then they put probe in my rectum that connected to the monitor.

The guidance, especially for athletes, is to get a rectal temperature if heat related illness is suspected.

I will turn sixty next summer, and my rectal temp was ordered and taken at the local ER six years ago. I had UTI that was possibly turning septic. The on duty doctor did not care what my oral temp was. The crew turned me onto my side and put that probe in my ass right in front of my wife, and the teen girl in the same room who was separated from me by a thin curtain.

In 2007 at Mayo Clinic, my RT was taken every four hours for the entire six weeks I was in the ICU.

When a serious health issue is suspected or present, the possibility of getting your temp taken rectally in a real medical situation is still a very real possibility, and very likely to happen.
