Undressing for rectal or prostate exams

Guys, what do you have to take off for a rectal and/or prostate exam? In which position does your doctor examine you?

The very first time I had a rectal exam, I was naked. It happened during military services exams. I also was naked when I had it with a playdoctor. Both times it happened when I was on the exam table and legs in stirrups widely spread.

Last time during a real exam I was told I could put on a t-shirt and was naked waist down. I then had to bend over and was examined that way.

Nothing, Lower pants for testicle check, turn around, bend over, here's some tissue, pull em back up.

During my annual physical last year. The doctor told me stand up and lower my pants and underwear. At this appointment, he did not do a genital exam, just a prostate check. He told me to turn around and bend over the edge of the exam table, all the time he was donning exam gloves and getting the lube ready. After I was in position, he rolled his chair over to the table, spread my buttocks open with both hands before inserting what i believe was his right index finger into my rectum. He said I would feel some pressure and he was not joking. This particular doctor is the only one that has performed a rectal exam that was somewhat comfortable. After the exam was completed, he removed his gloves, handed my a box of tissues to wipe with, said I could pull my pants back up, and then wheeled himself back to the desk to make notes,

I take my pants and underwear completely off and then lay on my left side. I prefer laying down on the table. To me it's alot easier and more comfortable to lie down. I'm definitely going to ask my new female urologist if I can lay down again this year

In recent years, my rectal exam takes place after my cystoscopy; so I’m wearing only a T-shirt. It’s easy for water to be splashed about during the bladder wash at the conclusion of the cysto, thus just the T-shirt. My doc completes the cysto, and she shows me on the monitor screen the various anomalies in my bladder wall, including the scarred area where a malignant tumor was removed 20 plus years ago. Two years later, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, had a prostatectomy, thus, no prostate for her to check. But she still probes that area deeply, checking for anything amiss. I have enough nerves that have regenerated that it’s quite a pleasant feeling, I’ve always prepped with an enema or two, AND I always look forward to the cysto and the rather intense rectal exam. After the rectal exam, she checks finishes with a thorough exam of my testicles.

My dre's are done during my annual physicals. stripped to nothing but my sox with a gown on. bent over the side of the table on my elbows while the doc repeats the mantra, "relax. deep breath."

My first and only..so far.. I was naked from the waist down, and in stirrups! Very vulnerable position!!! I can't wait for my next one!

The first one was from a female nurse practitioner. She just had me drop my pants and underwear down around my knees and bend over the exam table. The second one was from a male doctor, I was bent over the exam table with my pants and underwear down around my knees. The next few times naked in a gown and on my left side with my right leg drawn up. The last three years, pants and underwear down a round mid thigh and on my left side with my right leg up as far as possible. I go in for my annual in two weeks. I am curious as how he will do it this year.

I went through a rectal exam about a month ago because I had appendicitis. It was relatively straight forward. I was naked under the gown. Knees to chest. The doctor was certainly a decent person. I told him I did have a rectal exam during my adolescent years so I knew what I was up against. He stated he will try to get it over as quickly as possible but he needed to be thorough due to my symptoms. After it was all said and done he noticed I was shivering and he obtained a heated blanket for me and offered me a sedative (pill and water no shot) to take the edge off. He told me I was a decent guy who let the ED staff do their jobs.

Because I was such a cooperative and good natured patient I think the nurses and staff were checking in on me with a little more frequency. The saying goes you attract more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Then again I don't want to be doused in vinegar or honey, let alone attract flies.

For me, through 5 different doctors, both male and female, it has always been just drop my pants and bend over the exam table. One male PCP seemed to enjoy it more than I!

For play docs it has always been while completely naked.

My rectal exams have been done during annual physical exams. I've had rectal exams done by a few different doctors either laying on my left side or bent over the exam table. Most of the have been me nude wearing a gown open to the back with me laying on my left side. Another one was with my underwear around my ankles bent over the exam table. With my current doctor my pants and underwear are around my ankles and I'm bent over the exam table.

One time (my first time, actually), I was fully clothed and the doctor left the room after instructing me to get undressed from the waist down and then get back on the table and lie on my left side.

Every other time has been some variation of me with my underwear around my ankles bending over the table after the genital and hernia exams.

I get a prostate exam done once a year due to my high PSA numbers between 150 and 275. when i have the doctor do it i take off my boots, pants and underwear then get on the exam table on my hands and knees and he does the exam.

I've only had a rectal / prostate exam during my annual physical after the genital exam. The genital exam is almost always done standing. Prior to this, I have removed my shirt, or at least unbuttoned it. I'm told to stand and drop my pants and underwear for the genital exam. If there's a rectal exam, I then turn around and bend over the table. The first time was a shock when this portion came, and after it was over I remember turning around fully erect, wondering what else could be next. The doc noted clearly everything works and we were all finished.

I only recall 2 rectal exams. For the first the doctor had me curled up on my left side on the exam table with my pants and underpants pulled down to my ankles. He put on gloves, lubricated one finger with lubricating gel, pushed his thick finger deep into my rectum and twisted it around. The second time was when I was experiencing frequent urination. This time I was naked from the waist down, laying on my back on the exam table with my legs in stirrups. He did the rectal exam but then got out an anoscope, lubricated it and my rectum, then pushed the anoscope deep into my rectum while looking through it. It was uncomfortable but not painful. He then called another doctor in to do the same thing (a second opinion I guess) and they both agreed I had a seriously enlarged prostate. The result was that I was scheduled for prostate surgery and was given a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) the next month. It was benign, the surgery went well and I've been ever since.

I have had prostate exams in many positions. Lying on my side, leaning over the table, on the table on elbows and knees. I think the latter one is the most embarrassing. Pants and underpants are always off. I have had it done by male and female doctors, younger and older ones. I would suggest, if you have the choice, have a female doctor do it. Their fingers are thinner so you feel less discomfort.

Pants off fully, bare ass and put to sleep for measurements and radiation treatments for p cancer

@Littletwink - Lithotomy position is not very common for rectal exams, although I've seen more doctors recommending it to get a better feel of the prostate. I tried it a few times in my last couple years of practice, but found most patients prefered just bending over the table.

My first and only prostate exam from a real doctor was done with my pants off, bent of the exam table (I wrote about it in this thread: https://en.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;msg=1350828 post #17).

I would suggest, if you have the choice, have a female doctor do it. Their fingers are thinner so you feel less discomfort.

I don't know I can get behind that. Women may have thinner fingers, but I don't like the idea of getting a genital exam from a person with a different set of genitals lol. I feel like it's harder for the doctor to empathize with a patient undergoing an uncomfortable exam when they can't possibly imagine what such an exam feels like. For example, every testicular exam I've ever gotten from female doctors has been overly rough. And from a fetish perspective, I think it's hotter when the doctor knows what you're going through, since they've gotten the same exams themselves.

I live in Germany (Europe) and had several experience as patient so I started liking the shame and embarrassment in exams:

prostate exam: lower the trousers to knees and lie on left side

penis exam: the same but lie on back

proctologic exam in doctors office: lie on a special procto chair with trousers over the bum. cant see penis.

procto in hospital: strip trousers completely and lie on left side

pelvic pain therapy: strip lower body completely and lie on back and on left side

I think I never got a gown like in USA. and its legal that a female doctor with a female nurse examines a male.

I've never had just a genital ir rectal exam. Uro does both now. Drop pants & bend over table. Reg dr no longer requires clothes removal. Prior to that physicals at reg dr were naked with a Paper sheet. Genital exam was on my back, rectal exam was with my legs pulled up to chest.

I had prostate cancer 21 years ago.Had radio active seeds implemented into my prostate. At the time, this was a new procedure, with not enough information, to establish true results. However, studies indicated it was very effective. (I will not define "effective"). Do nothing was not acceptable to me, or radical surgery. A major requirement was a Gleason number of 6 or less. That, my own intolerance for waiting, and fear of major surgery, drove my decision. I am now 88 years old.

Since that time, major strides have been made in procedures for all prostate cancers. It is no longer a death sentence! However, Annual prostate exams are a must have procedure! Only a finger can do that. Forget any male ego issues you have and make sure you have that exam. PSA numbers are only confirming the rectal exam. (unless science has proven otherwise). Also, you can still have erections for your person of choice. Sensations are still there, just no sperm. Catch this cancer early, and you will still have a great sex life. Good luck.

@Fontana - I think I've posted this on Zity somewhere before, but it bears repeating. I had a patient who actually sought out a female physician to do his rectal because he was afraid my fingers were too big. He came back with a copy of her consultation report, which showed he was in good health. But he reported that he'd never again go to her. He said by the time she found what she was looking for, he thought he'd feel her finger in his mouth anytime. Seems that, along with fingers that aren't very big around, hers were quite short, so "She almost had to crawl inside!" Although a bit bigger around, my fingers are long enough to reach what needs to be examined.

Long ago I got my only prostate examination.

Since then the prostate examination was done by a blood test.

But I remember rectal examination by a female doctor very well.She was very professional.

After a thorough conversation she said that she now had to do a tedious examination.She asked me to take off my pants.

The examination table was a little further.She asked me to stand straight in front of the table.Then I had to bend down deeply.

Of course I found this very embarrassing.

Thought this examination also took quite a long time.

And it has been a long time,but also found it somewhat painful.

This unlike some other men here on this forum.

But it has been a long time ago

I really don't look forward to a rectal prostate exam anymore.

I have gotten a rectal and prostate exam every year for my annual physical. At the practice I go to, I am completely undressed and wearing a cloth hospital gown. For the last five years, I’ve had the exam in the lithotomy position with my feet in the stirrups.

Last time I had my prostate examined I lowered my pants to the floor and put my elbows on the table.

Just had my yearly physical exam and my doc always does a DRE. I am asked by the nurse to take everything off except underwear so when the doc comes in I am sitting on the table in my underwear. When the DRE comes, he has me lie back facing the wall and he slips my underwear down and preforms the DRE.

It's always been drop your pants and underwear,, bend over the table, elbows on the table.
