Age during first rectal exam

How old where you when you recieved your first rectal exam

I was 31 when I received my first rectal exam. It was not something I expected. The Dr (female) does this as part of my annual physical. The first time I was very aprehensive about

getting a scope shoved in me. I thought it hurt a bit when the scope first spread ny anus. I can relax more now and now I find it erotic.

I was in my late twenties the first time I had a rectal examination. I had had two children, and my Gyn thought it was time that I started having rectal exams. The rectal exam took my by surprise, my Gyn did the exam while I was still in the stirrups. I do not mind the rectal exam one bit.

I remember the first time all too well. I was 18 or 19 and it was my first visit with my parents' doctor. I think I had mentioned that I sometimes get blood on the toilet paper when I'm constipated (which is most of the time). Without explaining what he was looking for, he told me to bend over the table and pull down my underwear. He rammed his finger in without warning and it hurt! 😮

Maybe 10 years later I had another exam with a female doctor I had chosen. I was on my side, covered with a gown. She was very gentle and used lots of lube. She touched the anus first and held her finger there for a few seconds before slowly pushing her way in. 😃 It was an exquisite mixture of embarrassment and pleasure.

I think female docs often understand the importance of "foreplay" when doing intimate exams. Male docs just want to penetrate and be done with it.

A female friend of mine was taken to hospital at 16 for suspected appendicitis. The Consultant came round and she had to pull up her nightdress and he pressed on her abdomen. She said she was very embarassed. However the embarassment turned to mortification when he asked her to turn on her side and did her first ever rectal examination.

When he then asked her to turn back and proceeded to do an internal her introduction to the world of being a woman and doctors was complete.

When I was 10. The DR wanted to rule out appendicitis. I was mortified when it happened. Even though the dr was gentle and used her pinky it still felt weird.

Age 14. I went to see the Dr because of stomach ache. The young male Dr had me drop my trousers and underwear and lean over the couch whereupon he inserted his finger into my anus and wriggled it around for a few seconds.

I left the surgery feeling quite horny and have never forgotten the experience.

I was 14 thought i had appendicitis the doctor a guy put his finger up me said i may feel like going but i wouldnt .but never told me i,d get an erection which i did full on

I am 33 and haven't had this yet. I got a physical this year and she didn't do it. I was already too! There was this huge tube of surgical lube sitting on the little table with wheels. I was going to ask for part of my copay back!

My mother told me that i should go for one when i was 22 to just check that my body was in working order

Really don't think a bi-manual and rectal exam is necessary in every routine exams for people under 40.

I was 10 and I got several for suspected appendicitis. One form the Dr at home, one when I got to hospital, another when another Dr arrived, 2 again the next day and I thin 1 the following day. I remember the later ones feeling a bit uncomfortable, but for the first ones I was feeling too ill to care. I also got to sit around naked for a while after being sick everywhere over the bed (probably too much detail!).

I think I was 12 or 13 in that area and was having some pain in my side. My mother took me to the doctor and I was on my back on the table and he was examining my stomach and side.I had my underware still on when he ask me to roll over on my left side.As soon as I was on my side he pulled my pants down and I heard him bang a drawer open and closed and then he pulled my butt cheeks apart and stuck his lubed finger up me. My mom was standing about five feet away during the exam.

I was 34. I hadn't been to the doctor for 8 years or so, so I figured it was coming.

I was 11. i went to the doctor for a stomach ache. I remember being embarrassed and it hurt. turned out i was constipated.when i got home my mother gave me a fleet enema. I protested but got it anyway.

Got my first digital rectal exam at age 39. Had to lean over the exam table. He did a good job - didn't get am erection but had to wipe a lot.

Question for all those who have replied-

Do they give you warning, and can you refuse a rectal exam?

I was 10 or maybe 11. Befor that just rectal temps

I'm 33 and have not had a "official" rectal exam. I have had numerous medfet type exams though and if the official one is anything close then I think I might get embarrassed. Nothing more embarrassing than getting an erection while a male doctor has a finger up your rectum.

What age should a guy have his prostate examined?

I think there's a trend and we're starting to see the recommendations moving down from "50", "40", down in the 30s, which is probably why prostate cancer is being diagnosed more often in younger men these days.. They're really a good idea for any adult - aside from establishing a "baseline" to compare to later, they can help check for other things such as hemmarhoids, and the dr can take a smear from the glove to check the stool for signs of blood which is often a sign of colon cancer.

In my early thirties I was having some urological complains and the specialist made a rectal exam with me laying down and palpated my belly during

Ellen: My prostate exam came completely out of the blue. I had visited an urgent care clinic because of a sinus infection.

When the doctor came in, he did the usual vital signs stuff, had me lie on the table, checking my abdomen, legs, ankles (fully clothed, by the way).

Then he said he would like to give me a rectal exam.

I was completely surprised. First of all, I was 50 years old, and had never had a prostate exam. Now, when I was just expecting to get some antibiotics, the doctor tells me he wants to give me a rectal exam. I was totally mentally unprepared for this, and I was completely embarrassed because I didn't know what to say.

Since I was caught off guard, I immediately said: "Maybe next time". And he said "Alright".

Then it occurred to me that I was at that age that I should be getting my prostate checked, so I told him I had changed my mind, and he could go ahead and do it.

It was more or less what I had expected, dropping my pants, having him palpate my testicles and penis, and then bending over the exam table. It was quick, just a bit uncomfortable (I jumped when he started to push his finger in, and he kept apologizing), but the worst part for me was having him take a tissue and wipe my butt. It just seemed a little too intimate for me.

But, anyway, the point is: you DO have the right to say NO to a rectal exam (or any exam, for that matter). Most people are afraid of questioning their doctor, though. Fortunately, I am not one of them.

My first rectal exam was at age 15. My parents took me to see a doctor who beleved in giving vitamins to cure everything. for my initial assessment I got the most complete physical of my life. The doctor told me to lie down on my side and pull my underpants all the way down. It felt SOOO weird when he put his finger up my bottom. It made me get a very hard erection that wouldn't go away, even after he was done. I had to stand up for a posture check after the rectal exam, and he saw my bare penis while I was still fully erect.

I was age 50.

I was 18 when i had my first one, it was during a physical and totaly unexpected

I had my first rectal exam this summer at the age of 29. My doc doesn't usually do them until late 30s, but specific symptoms led him to do one. I wasn't even there for a physical...just following up on those symptoms, and he decided to do the DRE. Definitely a surprise.

I was 24 when I got my first rectal exam. It was quite suprised when he asked me to bend over the exam table because he would like to give me a rectal exam. Then I heard the gloves snapped and he put his lubed finger into my rectum. Since the exam was part of an urological check-up, he also palpated my testicles and penis. It was very embarassing for me, because a young, attractive nurse also was in the exam room.

I was 15 and that is what realy made me realise that i had a medical fetish. and i have never turned from rectal examinations since then

I have yet to have a DRE

My first rectal exam came at age 14. This was pretty common in the 1960's. I was embarrassed, but it didn't hurt. I could never understand why other guys made such a big deal about it.
