Males: Position for Rectal or Genital Exam

@Doctor_BrianThe chances of getting a routine DRE prostate exam on the NHS are about zero, I recently mentioned the subject to one of my female GP's and she just brushed over it and gave me a blood test form, she wasn't too keen on that either to be honest because the PSA test is not always accurate. If you want your prostate checked out then you need to go to a private clinic in London, there are plenty around.

Best Check is a PSA and a DRE provided there are prostate symptoms. Otherwise risk of false positive with need for a prostate biopsy if the PSA is raised. A false positive can also occur with a UTI, recent sexual activity or a DRE!

All my prostate exams have been done me laying on my left side. The manual as well as the transrectal ultrasound are done this way.

My rectal and prostate exam has been performed by me leaning leaning over the exam table (long side) and spreading my legs.

First time was standing bent over the exam table in the ER. Most others were on my side. Once I was on my back legs lifted up, at the urologist.

The most common for me is always standing beside the exam table, feet spread, with hands on the table. The only time I've ever had it on my side was once while in the ER for abdominal stress of unknown origin; it turned out to be an intestinal "bug" - the finger exam was deep and VERY satisfying even under the circumstances...

Mine have all been laying on my left side with knees drawn up by a female doctor. In and out faster than you can say thank you. My current male doctor dosen't see a need. Would like to have in done on all fours with elbows down on the table and a more extensive prostate massage.

Mine are always done with me on my left side and knees bent up to my chest.

Most of my rectal exams have been administered while I have been completely naked and positioned over the table. A couple of the exams were done while I was in the sims position. The first experience that I had in the sims position was done after removing my underwear for the genital exam. I was then asked to position myself onto the exam table. It was the first time that I was asked to position myself onto an exam table ... while completely naked ... and in the company of a real doctor. The only time that I was in stirrups and flat on my back was during my one ... and only ... play exam! My play exam and that particular DRE was one to remember.

My last and only one and hopefully not the last one, was done on the examination table leaning leaning over it and spreading my legs. The female doctor came from behind put her finger up my ass and massaged the prostate. I had an immediate erection which I guess she saw, anyway once she finished i pulled up my pants fast, although I would have like to stay more there .... looking forward for the next one.

Bend over with arms on the table. Last one was a Female PA at my urologist. Very professional but you can have naughty thoughts while it's happening . She did comet while her finger was in me, feels good and smooth, as she pushed in farther .

The times that my rectum has been examined has all ways with me laying on my left , knees brought up to my chest.

Before the doctor starts the exam he tells me the position to adopt and that its only necessary to lower my clothing down to mid thigh.

I had heard many tales of different positions but sadly its just been this same position even though I have been examined by different doctors.

I hope in role play to meet with a male who will examine in different positions.

Me too!

Always on left side with knees drawn up. Although i would love a hot female doctor to do it with me in stirrups so I can look into her eyes during the exam.

Well, this coming week I've scheduled a physical. Unfortunately the male doctor is out of town and it will be with a female nurse practitioner. I thought I'd give it one more try. We'll see what she does.

How’d it go?

Every time for me has been bending over the table. How do I get one laying down?

Ask the doctor if s/he has ever performed it with the patient in the Sims position.

I just go with what the doctor feels they can get the best diagnostic information from.

So far that has been standing for the genital/hernia check.

Rectal has been both Sims and bent over the end of the table.

Ask the doctor if s/he has ever performed it with the patient in the Sims position.

How receptive do you think a doc would be to that? Not like I have a legitimate reason for such request !

Your legitimate reason is that it might be more comfortable for you personally. And if your doc is open minded, s/he might ask if you'd prefer it done in that position. Or at least attempt to justify to you why the position s/he chooses to use is best.

As far as how receptive, totally depends on the open mindedness of the doc. During the process of one of mine being done in the Sims position, I alluded to other positions that could be used. My doc responded something to the effect of "This IS the only way to do it", as if there were no alternative ways of doing it. Since then, I've noticed other areas where my doc(s) (husband & wife team) may have been narrow minded in their approach.

Always standing for the genitals, bent over the table for rectal.

It was both laying and standing for the genital exam.

For my annual prostate exam, my Doctor has me laying on my left side, with both knees drawn up as close to my chest as I can get them. She does explain that she only has short fingers, so it is not a very thorough exam, and she is in and out in no time al all.

I like the anticipation of it much more than the actual exam, which is actually a bit of a let down.

Standing with the paper gown open and naked underneath.

Lying on my back on the table with a sheet covering for genital exam, then lying on left side for prostate exam.

I am asked to stand at the table edge. The doc carefully examines my scrotum, gently palpates the epididymis between thumb and index finger. Then inspects my glans, it's easy as I am cut. Afterwards I bend, put the elbows on the table with legs slightly apart. The doc inserts lubricated finger into my anus and performs DRE. It is not painful, however I feel being full and mostly experience a some kind of hard-on. Generally It's acommon reaction and doesn't result with any comment. Finally I receive a paper towel to wipe and may dress up

I have received genital exams standing and lying down - I prefer lying down. You really cant see what's going on, and only feel whats going on.

I think it adds to the excitement.

First time was nude on my back upon the table at age eleven for both exams. Rectal part was quite an embarrassing, unexpected, unpleasant surprise. Age twelve and older, stand nude in front of the doctor for genital/hernia check, then bend over the side of table for rectal.

I've only had one where i was laying on the table and i was quite young. after that they have all been standing up. my long time urologist would have me stand up and drop my shorts for the exam... he stated he preferred me standing so gravity could do it's work... he was very thorough and saw all of me

In a normal exam, genital exam was performed with me lying down. Rectal however, has been performed in about every position

So the last doctor to give me a genital exam was earlier this year, I had gotten a pretty substantial rash along the inside of my thighs and groin, and they had me take my pants and underwear off, and cover up with a paper drape until he got there. During the exam, off the drape went. I was seated on the table originally but after taking the drape off I stood up in front of the doctor so he could have a better look. The most amusing part was, after he started talking to me, we both went back and forth, and probably had a 10+ minute conversation about a few topics, all with me with my pants and undies completely off. 😉
