Did you ever have anything tramautic happen at any of your physical exams?

When I was a kid, I had gotten a really bad car accident that left some of my pelvis fractured. I was 12 years old and I had to go to the emergency room so I could be examined. The doctor I had told me that he was going have to look at me "down there." because he said I had gotten hurt pretty bad. The whole time he did this I cried and it hurt. I still have problems with this today, and I may possibly not be able to get pregnant. But if you've had any tramautic problems post them. I dont want to push anyone who doesnt want to talk though.

Maybe not traumatic, but definitely awkward for me was when I was first getting into Med Fet and I think I was hyperaroused by anything and everything. I went for my first pap at the university clinic, and was sitting forever in the waiting room pondering what was going to happen. I was then sitting all prepared on the exam table and the male doctor comes in, introduces himself etc. Now at a university walk-in clinic, the exam is literally wham! bam! thank you ma'am! service. He literally was in the room examining me for maybe 2 min. As he pulls out the speculum, he looks directly into my eyes and says "I'm not too sure if the exam will take, you were very lubricated." I was MORTIFIED!! When he left the room I looked at the exam paper and it was so wet!!!

Oh was my face red!!! I always keep wet wipes with me for some "pre service" prior to my exams now!!

When i was little i was given a rectal by pediatrician, and have harbored a fear of doctors ever since.

of course my wife is always ill, and scared out of her wits so i accompany her to her many appointments and have spent many days at her side in hospitals before, recently she had major surgery and i think I'm as traumatized as she is.

When I was young I had constipation a lot and my parents usually gave me enemas. I guess they weren't working so they took me to a doctor and he had me get naked and lay on my side. I heard him put the exam gloves on then he lubed up my butt. It felt like he put his whole hand up me. I could feel his fingers moving around. It hurt and to this day I don't like male doctors.

When I was about 7 my sister had a horrible stomach ache. Mom kept telling her she just needed to use the bathroom but my sister still complained. When Mom finally took her to the doctor I had to tag along. I was just hanging out for most of the exam, but then the doctor said something that made my ears perk right up. He was going to put his finger into her vagina and bottom at the same time (she was 10?!?!) to see if he could identify the object in her belly. She had to lie on her back with her knees up in the air. I tried to see what was going on but couldn't get a good look. Then Mom sent me out to the waiting room. It turned out she had a tumor on her ovary, but from that day forward I was always afraid the doctor would put his finger in my bottom. Now it's my favorite part of the exam! 😃

Wow! How did everything go for your poor sister? What was the treatment?

Natalie,

That's really interesting! What was the outcome? Did the exam take? I didn't know before reading your story that natural lube interfered with the Pap.

Did the exam include anything other than Pap and Pelvic? Did you ever return to the university clinic?

The most traumatic thing for me was the usual end of every visit to the doctor - pulling everything down to my ankles and bending over the receptionist's lap for a shot.

My most traumatic thing to happen would def. have to be when I was about 7. The doctor wanted to check me down there, and I told him. He said either I take my pants down or he's going to bring in nurses to hold me down. So I told him u know, Go ahead!! So a bunch of nurses were trying to hold me down, and I was pinching all of them and trying to get them off of me. I told my doc to go to hell, because he was trying to take my pants down..And I didn't want him to..I hated him!!!! So he bent my pinky finger back & broke it.

LMNGRL88 that doesn't sound like a very ethical physician. I would think you would have been justified in giving him a very hard kick to the scrotum.

Wasn't at a physical and was several decades ago so memories can change but I do recall seeing a urologist for labial aggulatination as a girl. Had been recurrent thing. Anyway not really knowing what to expect he basically just pulled apart without warning or anything to aid in discomfort. Years later learnt its basically blunt disection and typically now-a-days at least sedated.

Still think about everynow and than so guess it was traumatic at the time
