Age during first rectal exam

I had my first at the age of 29( just a couple of months ago)! My trainer I see a couple times a month is strict about making me and his clients have regular physicals. So i took the form he gave to my gay doctor and went through the entire form!!! I thought I was done and then he said, "They want a prostate exam complete...drop your shorts for me... rest your chest on the table." ...and he put his gloved finger in me with some lubricant. I said "ouch." and he said, "I am almost done! OK your good." and then as i was pulling my shorts back up... I said, "Top gay guys done like that doctor!" He just laughed and smiled.

I was 16 and even as nervous as I was I got a boner an was told it was normal.

My first rectal exam was when I was 48. I had an infection in my left testicle and went to see a urologist. His exam was anything but gentle...felt like a rectal invasion.

Charlie59horse - Have you ever documented your exam with the doctor you saw at 35 for 8 years?

Unless I have forgotten an earlier one, I was 17 or 18 when I had my first rectal exam. It was part of my physical exam required to be submitted with college applications or, maybe, to the college at which I had been accepted.

Other details are a little fuzzy but the rectal exam was memorable for two reasons. First, I did not expect it. Second, it was done in a weird position.

I will try to explain the position. I was lying on my back on the exam table and the doctor told me to assume the "bicycle riding position with my elevated hips supported by my hands and my legs in the air." I seem to remember that in gym class we used to do an exercise in that position. So, if you can picture it, the doctor was inserting his finger downward into my rectum.

It happened and was over so quickly, It did even occur to me to question the doctor. I still do not know what to make of that experience!

I was in my 40's, had to lie on my side in fetal position. Was over before I knew it...

Im 29 never had one at the doctors

13 from a female pediatrician. She was doing a complete exam prior to doing a circumcision. The beginning of my life long medical fetish.

I haven't had one yet. Can't wait though.

I was 25. I was curious, so I made up something like burning sensation and itching and visited a female proctologist.

I was 51, when I found out I bled from my rectum. So I visited my (female) GP, who gave me an exam. Fortunately, she only indicated hemorhoids.

27 or 28.

I have seen the gloves and lube out at my last physical, but she never performed the exam 😢

I never had one, glade of it too. I found interresting when its on the other one not one me.

When I was 15 yrs. old, when I had a complete and intense physical exam at our public health office by a female doctor. I was really shocked and surprised when she did that. I had to stay at hospital two days later and my very first exam by a gastroenterologist who did that again! I was totally ashamed!

Naevi, just curious did ya find the exam to be exciting at all. or were ya too nervous ta think of anything else?

Professional one or just for fun HA HA? 28 and it was because they though I had an enlarged prostate. I was peeing so much all the time even without taking in a lot of fluids.

26 years old, never had one yet.

I'm 33 and I've never had more than a cursory glance at my rear end.

I'm 22 and actually just yesterday I had an anoscope exam, obviously not during a routine exam but I got referred to one after I told the doctor that I think I have hemorrhoids. I was told to undress from the waist down (I kept my socks on) and the shirt I was wearing was quite short so there wasnt much coverage except for the sheet they gave me.

They had a special table for it that I was told to kneel over, it had a platform for me to put my knees, so I kneel over it wearing nothing but my shirt and socks, and the doctor comes in and starts moving it with foot pedals, sort of like a hospital bed, first he raises it by about a foot, then he makes it fall forward quite a bit, so now Im looking down at an angle and my exposed butt was higher up in the air. I didn't see anything that was going on, I only heard his voice, I felt him slide it in, and I'm not gonna lie, it was a bit much but it felt good. Then a few seconds in, I hear his (female) nurse talking, she was in the room the whole time and watched, I dont even know because I was faced the other way but she might have helped.

Sounds like you had a good exam rt. Were you sore afterwards from the penetration of the scope?

I was 16 at my first gyno appt. What a shock!

When I was 40, I had serious pain in my hemorrhoids. I had had it since a long time, but this was the first ocassion, that I had paine. So I went a special doctor, and he gave me a thorough examination, just one day after my 40th birthday.

I am 28 years old, and only had one for a an entrance exam when I was in the military.

First and only exam at age 50

Not one yet

At 15 .. from a female doc as a part of some checks for stomach/constipation problems. Not really thrilling at the time because of the circumstances.

I'm 28 and still haven't had one.

I actually got the courage to ask to have my prostate checked as a freshman in college. So that was the first time.

33. It was an older doc and he said he normally didn't require it until the patient was 35 but asked if I wanted my prostate checked. I think I kind of mumbled "Sure whatever" and he had me bend over the table. Not sure if I said yes because I just didn't want to say no to the doctor or because he had a medical student observing but it wasn't too bad--a little awkward but the little jolt as he touched my prostate was nice (I could see why some people refer to the prostate as the male G spot).
