Experiences with doctor using the word “bottom”

Would be interested to know people’s experiences with the doctor using the word bottom during your exam like, “I’m going to check your bottom”.

If you remember context and any other surrounding details that would be helpful as well.

No memory of that by my pediatrician.

But my bff Caroline used that word a lot when we played doctor and it's very special to me to this day.

Not in my experience either. As a child I was just told what to do, not why (as far back as I can remember) and as an adult when it's been necessary my GP said that she needed to examine me "back there".

The doctor I see now uses the word bottom. He is a little older than myself in his middle sixties. It sounds kinda of strange hearing another grown man telling me that he needs to check my bottom. The first couple of times I saw him for my annual physical and he told me that he was going to check my bottom now. When I heard him say it, it threw me off a little at first. I had to take a second and think about what he had just said.

I've only had one physician, that I can remember, use the word bottom. I went to a dermatologist for a free skin cancer check. I wasn't expecting much because it was free, but he had me undress to my underwear while he remained in the room. While lying on the table, he finished examining my front then had me flip over. While examining my back, legs, and feet, he must have told me three times that he needed to examine my bottom. Almost like he was trying to warn me or get me prepared. When he finished with my feet, he told the assistant that she could go ahead and leave. Once she was gone, only then did he pull my underwear down past my cheeks in back. While doing this, he once again told me he was going to now "look at my bottom". The whole experience, and himself was really weird so I never went back there.

I don’t recall ever hearing that word in a clinical environment.

My gastroenterologist will as "how is your bottom doing?" at appointments.

I can't help but notice that everything here in the UK has been 'dumbed down' in recent years. Feces or bowel movements have become 'poo' urine has become 'pee' etc.etc. I'm not talking everyday speech here but words used by doctors to patients & on health posters. Sorry but I want my doctors to talk to me like professionals not like they're talking to a child or some half wit. Sorry if that sounds a bit pompous.

If My doctor told me he wanted to check my bottom I would say " I wasn't expecting that. I didn't bring her with me" . "I'll remember to bring her next time".

This is one of the little nuances of medical play that I absolutely love. For me, it signals a caring, nurturing tone, which is a huge turn on for me, both with real and play docs alike. I can understand it not being everyone's cup of tea, though, especially if it's perceived as patronizing, if you're not into that kind of thing.

I'm using it time to time during exam play but translated to my native language (not English, not Italian)

Once when BA developed a red spot on her backside the doc asked if she could take a look at her “bottom”. Verified a stage one pressure sore which was the diagnosis we needed to qualify for a reclining electric powered wheelchair so she could redistribute her weight during the day. The sore wasn’t bad, but pressure wounds are horrible to deal with if they progress.
