Age during first rectal exam

I was 18 and i had no idea what was coming. the doctor told me "push down like you're going to the bathroom" and then she slid her finger into my ass.

I got to enjoy that early since Chrones ran in the family so mom signed me up for my first "Full exam" at 14 or 15. I had no idea it was coming thought I was going to get my ingrown toenail cut out and not a full head to toe exam. He was an old guy and said just going to feel a lot of presure before he did it little did I know it would make me horny as hell and be the start of my med fet.

Very young, totally unnerved me, wasn't sure why they were doing it but it hurt, and my mother was right there, very embarrassing

I think i was maybe 11 or 12.... i have got a rectal exam because i was backed - up .... and i hadnt did a number 2 in like 2 or 3 weeks....

I was 23 having a physical at the student health center where I was attending graduate school. I was wearing only my underpants. The doctor had me lie on my belly. She then pulled down my underpants and spread my cheeks. She inserted her finger, which is very difficult to do when the patient is lying face down with hips extended. So her finger did not penetrate past the anal verge.

I've had hemorrhoids off and on almost my entire adult life, so I think a rectal exam of some sort was appropriate, even if it wasn't the best technique.

I'm a 28 yo girl and have never had one...maybe it's coming.

I was 29, and it was also my first time with a female doctor.

Sounds like you are ready for one. 😉

For as far back as I can remember, my pediatrician would give me rectal exams at each exam. I can remember this happening at least as early as age 10. He would tell me to lie on my side and would insert a lubricated finger in my rectum. This would always conclude the exam, and it was the part I dreaded.

Adina,

Did the pediatrician do the rectal in front of your Mom or Dad?

Yes, unfortunately this was in front of Mom. And yes, she did see everything.

I was 10. The dr stuck her pinky inside my rectum to get a stool sample.

The she changed out her gloves and lubricated me for an enema.....

I was 17 years old. Went to the Dr with severe stomach pains.The Dr asked me to strip below the waist so he could check my abdomen. It was negative and he then asked me to stand and bend over so he could check me for constipation. He then stuck his gloved finger in my bottom and felt inside for a few moments. He then prescribed suppositories.

I had my first at 27. I asked about it sooner but i was always told i didn't need it. It wasnt till i complained of a pain from "up in there" that i get examined.

I got my first rectal as part of a pap smear when I was 18. Never a stand alone as part of an exam.

I was two months past my 12th birthday and it was part of a thorough pelvic, along with a 'prep' for another, more invasive exam (my first large volume enema [over 2 quarts] and full proctoscopy).

20, it was on the form for the new job I was getting, but I didn't realize it until I got poked-- after that I declined them

I was 19. I had a urinary tract infection, but first the doctor thought I might have a prostate infection so he gave me a rectal exam.

I was 13. Mom told me she was taking me to the doc cause I had some stomach problems. Had no idea what was going to happen til it happened. Was laying on the table & he pressed around on my abdomen then asked me to lower my jeans to my knees while still lying on the table & roll over on my side & bend my knees up. And that was that.

I was about 21 when I got my first rectal exam. I went into the doctor's because I had been seeing some red blood on the toilet paper (I've had mild IBS my whole life). He said he wanted to take a quick look and had me change into a gown and lie on the table on my side, facing the wall. He lifted my buttocks and poked around. Then he was quiet for a few seconds, then I heard the gloopy noise of the KY. He said to push down for a sec, that he was going to check it out a little bit inside. He slipped his finger in there and moved it around for a about 30 seconds. I already was pretty aware of my medfet by then, but this didn't do much for me—I wasn't prepared for what would happen, and it hurt a little since I had a small anal fissure.

My second was a little more fun. I had a female nurse practitioner—I was seen at a student clinic in college because I was having some pain on urinating (I fell down on my crotch for some reason...can't remember what happened). I was expecting to be inspected visually, so I wasn't surprised when she asked me to change into a gown. But after checking me out, she said she was concerned I might have hurt my prostate or something, and asked me to lean over the exam table. Next thing I knew, her finger was deep into me. She moved it around for a really long time, then sent me home telling me to check back if the pain didn't go away soon. It went away a day or two later.

I was 15 & my neighbor took me for a sports physical-she seen me semi hard too!

I was 25. I made an appointment for a physical with a new doctor. I went through most of the exam with my shirt off and pants still on. After a good ab exam laying down with my pants unzipped I was told to stand up and drop my shorts. I let my jeans hit the floor and made sure that my boxers hit the floor as well. During the genital exam the doctor asked me questions about my sex life and finished with the hernia check. After my coughs I just stood there and was starting to wonder why the doctor hadn't told me to pull everything back up. Not that I was complaining.

As I stood there basically naked with my pants and shorts down around my ankles the doctor said, "I have to offer you a rectal examination." As he explained how it would go and that it would be optional in my mind I was thinking about how I could give my consent without coming across too enthusiastic. This wasn't easy given that I was about to experience the routine that had not yet happened in my history of going to the doctor.

The doctor had me position myself standing and leaning over the side of the exam table with my legs spread apart as far as they could. As I leaned over anticipating this event I could catch a glance of the doctor over by his table making the preparations. I watched him go through the classic routine of snapping on a glove and squeezing the large tube of lubrication onto his upheld index finger. In my mind of course I was thinking, "I can't believe it. It's finally going to happen."

He came over to me told me to relax and then I felt him rubbing the lubricant in a circular motion around my anus. Telling me to take a deep breath, he inserted the finger. I could feel him moving it around, pressing down and telling me that that was my prostate as I felt the sensation that was a combination of wanting to urinate and wanting to cum.

He eventually slid his finger out and handed me a handful of tissues and told me I could get dressed. That was the end of the exam. I couldn't get home fast enough to masturbate while reliving in my mind what had just happened (I always masturbated after my physicals from the time I was 11.) The orgasm was phenomenal.

Well I heard that it was important, but I hadn't had one as of my last one 4 years ago at age 44. So I wondered i I should bring it up. But when I recently went again at age 48, I had my first rectal exam. So I guess I don't get just a boys' exam anymore!

I was 40 and it occurred during my first visit to a new GP. I mentioned on the intake form that I had a family history of prostate cancer (true) and the Dr. suggested one. It was quicker than I had imagined it would be. There is an instant of pressure but that past quickly. I have another one since then (same Dr.) and wonder whether every doctor's technique is the same.

I was 37 and the physical was related to my job. Since I have to wear dosimetry (radiation monitor) often because of my job, all employees that wear dosimetry have to have periodic physical exams. It includes blood work, urinalysis, and a head to toe skin check. For men, a testicular exam is done, and men 36 and older get a rectal exam to check the prostate. And women 36 and older get breast exams, but no pelvic or rectal exams get done on them. It was my first radiation worker physical, and the nurse asked me how old I was. I said 37, and she said lucky you, you'll be getting a rectal exam to check your prostate. I said figures, just my luck. She told me to take everything off except my undershorts. The doctor came in a few minutes later and checked my eyes, ears, nose and throat, checked my thyroid and lymph nodes, listened to my heart and lungs, checked my abdomen, then had me stand up and pull my undershorts to my knees. As he put on a latex glove and asked me if I've ever had a rectal exam, I said no, and he said don't worry, it will be quick and won't hurt. He then examined my testicles and scrotum, then said turn around and lean over the table and rest on your elbows. I watched as he lubed his finger with some goo from a foil packet. Without saying a word he disappeared behind me and I felt him part my left cheek and insert his finger into me. He pressed firmly on my prostate and wagged his finger back and forth. It was a weird sensation, the brief urge to pee and a strange kind of pressure, and it was over. He removed his finger, handed me a box of tissues, said I could get dressed, and left. It was a weird experience because it was done at the clinic at work by a doctor I didn't know, and I had to go back to work and I felt embarrassed the rest of the day knowing that some of my coworkers knew what was done to me because it has been done to them.

I was 13 and went to my pediatrician for check up 6 months after I was operated with an undescended testicle. My father came with me and i didn't want to go because I knew what was going to happen. My father just said i have to come and that's it!!! AND i obeyed like a good child. I knew the dr would like to see down there and I was ready for this but not for what followd. As i expected I soon found myself on the examination table, on my back with my briefs at my knees and the dr palpating my scrotum and my testicles. Then, when I thought it was all over he turned to my father and said that since i'm allready here he would check me there, and he pointed to my butt. My father said that it's ok and came close to me. the dr asked my father to lift my legs in the air and lubricated his index finger which soon i felt moving inside my rectum. i was very surprised with all the situation but was mainly busey with the fact that my father held my legs and with one look in the wrong direction he would see the erection i got from the exam. My father though, looked at the other side, maybe because he saw my erection and didn't want to embarress me more. luckily, the erection went down as soon as the dr ook his finger out. I don't know till today what was this examination needed for.

Í´m 40. never had one

I was 15, and I had it because the doc thought I had appendicitis. (I did.)

I was about 17.

I was 21 when I had my first rectal exam. It came about in a sort of roundabout manner. One night, my girlfriend (and later wife) had been anally fingering me with the usual vim and vigor. Next day I experienced a very sharp burning pain in my anal region. It was internal and since hemorrhoids run in the family, i thought I too had finally succumbed. So I made an appointment with a proctologist and had to wait a few weeks for an opening.

When i came, he asked me the nature of my complaint and i very decidedly told him I was suffering from hemorrhoids. Well, he didn't take me on my word and soon had me on my knees and elbows. He used an instrument I couldn't determine, but which was probably an anoscope or an anal speculum. I was still rather sore and the insertion was not very pleasurable.

After getting dressed again, he took me through his findings. With a rather bored and disapproving face, he drew me a depiction of the anal sphincter and muscles and then drew what he told me was a long cut, lengthwise. As he explained that I had been cut and was not suffering from hemorrhoids I believe that my face turned all shades of red. Because I realized that my girlfriend had cut me internally with a sharp fingernail. I was not suffering from anything else.

The doctor prescribed suppositories and that helped things along afterwards. But as a first rectal exam, it was a bit more embarrassing than usual. It also taught me never to presume to know everything when you are going to the doctors. There are often some embarrassing surprises in store when you least expect them.

Afterwards I didn't tell my girlfriend about the doctor's findings. Mainly because I had been playing the suffering hero for a few weeks and I was getting rave reviews.

But many years later the subject of that exam came up again and I had the pleasure of watching my wife turn just as many shades of embarrassed red as I had done, when I told her what really happened.
