My question is for all the ladies and I would like to hear about some of your past experiences with getting a (digital rectal exam) during a physical or gyno exam.

Did your doctor in the past or does your doctor announce to you when he needs to do a rectal examination and in what position did he do the exam? Does your doctor explain the procedure and tell you what you might feel, like some pressure, or a desire to move your bowels? Has any one of your doctors ever just inserted his finger right up inside your rectum without even for warning you?

I occasionally have a rectal exam. It depends on the doctor.

Mine has yet to get one from her gyn but she is slated to change doctors so perhaps the new one will be more thorough.

I've never had a rectal exam in the 10 years I have been going to the gyno, not that I would mind, lol...

For my wife, she just changes gloves and asks her to push for her rectal.

Yes maybe the first couple of times he announced the rectal exam. Since he just does it.

He always at the end of my pelvic exam and I am always still in his heel stirrups

The doctor doesn't say anything, at least I don't ever remember him saying anything

For my GF, the doctor does the rectal exam with her bent over the table after her rectal Vaginal exam is finished.. She tells my GF that she will feel a little pressure and to bear down and relax.. Then she applies lube to her index finger lubs up my GF rectum and then slow inserts her finger into my gd rectum.. I'm looking on and I want to continue the exam when we get home.. Which we do!!:-)

Always have a DRE during a gyno exam. Always still in stirrups. Am told to bear down and the finger just slips in. Feel a bit of pressure, but no big deal.
