Waiting in the stirrups

My wife told me a story about one of her exams. After several attempts, the doctor determined he needed a longer/larger speculum. She had to wait in the stirrups while the doctor and the nurse looked through the cabinets to find a different speculum.

I find it very exciting to think of her waiting there, legs spread, waiting for the doctor to finally come over and continue the much anticipated exam.

Have you ever had to wait "in position" for the doctor to do something? What were your thoughts as this occurred?

My wife was in the stirrups one time and the doctor put the speculum in and opened her up and then asked asked her some questions about her health and kind of stood up to talk to her about her questions which left her lying there wide open and waiting. Meanwhile, the observer who was a young male of about 23 years old was looking inside of her with a spot light. It was at a military clinic. She said that the observer was able to look at her open for about 2 or 3 minutes before the doctor sat back down and did the pap. She said that she was VERY embarrassed because she knew the observer and had spoken with him before on more than one occasion. I have a story about this and a few other experiences that my wife has had a military clinics.

More than once I've been up on the table, heels in the stirrups and being examined when the doctor has had to take a phone call. Each time the speculum had been removed, before he took the call. But I was still in position when he returned. Quite a feeling to be waiting there like that.

My wife told me about a time when she was in college and for some reason her pap came back abnormal. So they went back and repeated the pap along with several other tests. For 3 or so hours she was waiting for the results she was on the table legs spread and a speculum in.

If I were kept waiting in that position for anything longer than about a minute, my feet would be out of the stirrups, and I'd be making myself much more comfortable. If a speculum were in place, I would ask for it to be removed. And if there were a third party in the room who was gawking while the doctor chit-chatted, or took a phone call, or whatever; I would make it clear in no uncertain terms that I was not comfortable with that kind of behavior. I would assume that there was one of those obnoxious paper drapes over the lower half of my torso. They are a pain, but they are there for modesty and I would have no hesitation in using it for exactly that purpose.

I don't mind being fully exposed to my play doc for extended periods of time, but my real life doc needs to get in there, get his business done, and get out. Pronto!

Play On!

The premise that anyone would be left in such a position for three minutes let alone three hours in a real medical setting is a bit hard to believe.

I agree with the above posters who state that waiting this long in the stirrups doesn't sound possible. In addition to the leg strain, one's vaginal area would dry out, especially if a speculum is left in place.

I know that when I have experienced some play exams, no matter how wet I naturally am, I do dry out in the vagina if the speculum is kept in for over, say fifteen minutes. Drying out can be uncomfortable as those delicate tissues were designed to be kept moist.

Highly unlikely a woman would be left in stirrups for a long time during an office visit.

I've had to wait in the stirrups but only for few moments. Like, when the doc would go to change their gloves or get something. Never more than one or two minutes. I like the feeling. When the doc is close up right in between your legs, you feel pretty exposed but not as exposed as when they look at you and they're further away.

Really? I don't normally comment on stuff like this, but I have my doubts. Maybe you didn't understand her completely?

I don't know if you have ever been placed in stirrups, but there is no way in hell anyone could sit in stirrups for three hours. It's hard to maintain that position for ten minutes. Your legs start shaking and your back starts to hurt as well. Trust me. I play in them and that's about all I can handle.

Also, there is no way a speculum would stay in place for that long either without someone holding it in there. I highly doubt they had the staffing to hold a speculum in place for three hours. It's basically impossible. Also, it would cause the woman pain, they would never do that to your poor girlfriend either.

You may want to ask her again.

I asked again and she was again told me that she layed there for 3 hrs reading a 6 month old Time mag feet up and a"special speculum" she forgot the name of in her while they took samples, came back took some more samples, and then came back with early results of the tests.

I'm sure that a few minutes in the stirrups can SEEM like three hours, but seriously, I think the time estimation is not accurate.

Heel stirrups, which I prefer, I have only spent six or seven minutes in them so far at real exams. I did spent about fifteen minutes in knee crutches once at a gynecologists in Germany.

3 hours doesnt look real

Three hours?

definitely, NO WAY!!!

It would be a great disrespect to the patient, to say at least.

Twice my wife has been in knee stirrups with speculum inserted for 35 min or more for egg retrieval procedures. The 1st time for 35 min, the second time for 50. She only remembers the nurses getting her on the table and the stirrups adjusted and then the Dr. coming in and asking her if she was ready. As soon as she said "Yes", she was sedated and the next thing she remembers is waking up in the recovery room. I know for sure the time, because this was done at a Fertility clinic and I watched the procedures. On the drying out part, the Dr. used a very generous portion of Fem-Glide on his fingers to prelube her vagina and on the speculum.

I have been left in strrups for maybe fifteen minutes at the longest, with my legs spead and a warm light penetrating. My ex-husband went into an exam with me once, watched the nurse spread my legs into the stirrups, and watched as the speculum entered my pussy. He was speechless.

I've gone to GYN's, since I was 18, for my annual exam. Last year, for the first time, my GYN had a phone call and there was no nurse present (she was with another patient and I trust him). He left me on the table, with my feet in the stirrups and my girlie bits wide open and exposed (although I was draped), for like 7 or 8 minutes, but it felt like a lot longer. My play doc will sometimes do this... but, with him, it's different. He will deliberately leave me on the table, open and exposed, while he goes and does something else, such as a 'lab test'. It feels arousing to lay there, with my feet and knees so far apart, waiting...

This happened to my wife last year. She is 38,quite attractive,has long legs and a great ass. She scheduled an appot. with her gyno after work, but discovered she had to work overtime.She called him and he said he would wait for her. By the time she got ther everyone had left for the day.Rather then make another appot. she agreed to go through with the exam. He has leg supports instead of stripps.Her legs were spread wide open and elevated for the PAP smear. Before he got the spec in he heard a noise from the front of his office. He said he had to go check and left her high and wide without even a drape. While he was out in walks a janitor. He just stood ther staring at my wifes spread open pussy untill she noticed him and said"like the view". He immediately left. Wife thinks he'll remember her when he jerks off.I laugh and agree.

If your account is factual, there are so many things here that are wrong from an ethical, moral, and legal point of view that it's not even vaguely amusing.

I don't mean to sound like a prude, because I'm not one, but if this had happened to me, there would be such a huge lawsuit in the works that I'd never have to worry about money again. I know, that's why medical costs are so high, but it's also why doctors should be careful about minding their p's and q's.

Going to a doctor's office after hours? With no one else present in the office? Not even on a dare!

Just my thoughts.

I was been examined in stirrups (unusual but the doctor said he prefers it as it is easier all round). As I was laid in the stirrups, the doctor was trying to fit the speculum but there was only a large metal one that is used for women who have had children. As I haven't had children he thought a smaller size would be better. He spent about 5 mins trying to find one, and then said he would just "pop out to get a smaller speculum."

I laid in the stirrups for 10 minutes till he came bk, there was a window open and I was freezing.

At my third ever well woman exam I went to planned parenthood. I saw a NP and she did the exam. She felt something odd and went to get the doctor. I was left in the stirrups for 15 mins waiting to be re examined by the doctor.

Where any of you facing the door while in the stirrups? Did they knock before opening the door or just walk in? What did you do when the door opened?

Was the speculum left in while you waited? Did you touch the speculum?

The gynae put me in the stirrups and made me slide my bottom all the way down. Only then did he decide to put some gloves on. Needless to say he discovered that they had run out and had to go faffing round in the cupboard for a new box while yours truly lay there with her bottom over the end of the table and her feet in the air. It was probably only a couple of minutes but it felt like an hour. My legs weren't spread though, I kept my knees firmly together for as long as I could

In hospital it has happened more than once that the doc has left me in the stirrups for a couple of mins while looking for instruments, discussing etc. Worst was however the doc who had his fingers inside me and left them there whilst chatting with a colleague. It probably took less than a minute but felt like an eternity. It was very uncomfortable, so now I insist on having the door closed and only the examining doc present.

3 hours huh? I don't think so. Sounds like b.s. to me.

In almost 20 years of gyn exams, I've only been left on the table still in stirrups twice, and for maybe 3 or 4 minutes each time at the most. Both times, my doctor had to step out for just a moment to attend to something. She said that she would be right back, and I could sit up if I was uncomfortable, but I chose just to stay there like that, rather than have to readjust again. And since I'm certainly a freak, it's definitely a bit of a rush to have the door swing open while lying there like that (only for a moment though, I don't want to be on display for the entire office). 😉

I've never been left in the stirrups, beyond momentarily, by any of the doctors who've done my pelvics. It has always been very brief, like when they put on a new pair of gloves, or go to the counter to get supplies or move to the sink to run the speculum under warm water.

My wife was at her last gyno appointment a student was doing the exam and couldn't locate her cervix so she had to go get the "real" gyno to do it he took about 5 min to get their due to being with another paitent

I totally agree, I suspect a fabricated tale which belongs in fiction. Karma for you.

Three hours seems very unreasonable, like everyone else has been saying. Once, a doctor needed a different speculum for me (in real life, obviously, not in play!) and she removed the speculum to get another one. I was in the stirrups while that happened. It sure felt like three hours, but honestly, I remember her being a very professional doctor (I was comfortable with her at the time and that is hard to do for me!) and it likely took her under a minute in real time!

As I have mentioned in another thread, I go to my GP for my GYN exams instead of a GYN. As I also mentioned, I have the GP do my GYN exams because of the thoroughness of his examinations. But, as everyone knows, GP's are an all around doctor & see patients, male and female, for multiple medical issues. This thread, "Waiting in the Stirrups', brought to mind what happened a few years ago during one of my exams. I was in exam room #1, the first one just off the waiting room. There are 3 or 4 others further down the hall. Room #1, where I was, is also right opposite the reception area, where patients pay their insurance co -pay & make future appointments before leaving the MD office. My pelvic exam had just started, with the GP sittin on a stool between my spread open legs, examining and palpating my outer genitals (my inner & outer labia, drawing back the hood of my clitoris to examine my clitoris, etc.), when there was a quick knock on the room door & a technician walked right in. It turned out to be an EKG technician who was bringing an EKG for the doctor to look at urgently. It was an EKG that he had just done on another patient in to see the GP that day. That other patient, down the hall in another room, was an elderly man experiencing chest pain & the urgent EKG apparently showed something that showed an imminint heart attack. That urgency is what prompted the technician to walk right into my exam room where I was on the exam table with my legs spread wide open, up in stirrups, with the doctor involved with my genitals. I truly don't think the technician realized that I was laying there spread wide open right away. He was so concerned about the EKG report he had in his hand. Then, as he handed the EKG report to the doctor, he looked up & realized he was standing right at my spread open legs where the doctor was sitting on a stool. His eyes became like saucers. When he walked in, practically running, he didn't take the time to close the door, as he urgently handed the doctor the EKG to evaluate. There was a middle aged couple standing at the receptionist's desk conducting their business when the EKG tech burst into my exam room. That commotion is probably what prompted them both to turn around & look. It all happened in a few seconds & I lifted my head off the table to see what was happening. There stood the middle aged couple staring at me spread open in the stirrups with the exam light shining right between my open legs. My GP's exam rooms are pretty small & the exam tables face the door of the rooms, so my genatils were right there on display. The GP told the nurse who was assisting him with my exam to go & check the elderly man with chest pain's blood pressure & to give him some Nitroglycerine. She left with the technician & did close the door behind her. But, before the doctor resumed my pelvic exam, he apparently thought of more instructions for his staff regarding the chest pain patient. He got up & opened the room door again to call down the hall telling his nurse that he wanted to finish the pelvic he was in the middle of (me) & to start an IV in the patient. Then he walked the few steps across the hall to ask his receptionist to bring him the chest pain patient's chart. The whole time he called down the hallway and spoke to his receptionist, my exam room door was open. I was still in the stirrups with the bright exam light highlighting my genitals. By this time, the middle aged couple were in the waiting room, a mere few steps from where they stood at the receptionist's desk when they first looked in the open door to see me spread wide. While they stood in the waiting room still looking at me I realized that other patients sitting in the waiting room could see me too. The patients sitting in the waiting room probably wouldn't have noticed me if the doctor hadn't called down the hall to his nurse announcing that he wanted to finish the pelvic exam he had started. That, I am sure, brought all eyes towards my room, with its open door & me laying there in the stirrups. I remember feeling excited that so many eyes could see my genitals & I actually spread my legs wider. I could feel my vagina contract & I could feel myself getting moist. Where my husband was sitting in the exam room, he didn't realize that I was in full view of the waiting room & the receptionist's desk. The doctor came back into the room and closed the door. He resumed his seat between my legs & was just starting to insert the speculum into my vagina when the reception came in with the chest pain patient's chart. The doctor quickly looked thru the chart & made a decision that he needed to see the chest pain patient. So, he asked me to get dressed & go back into the waiting room to wait until the emergency had been taking care of. As he & the receptionist walked out of my room, I heard him tell the receptionist to call for an ambulance for the chest pain man. So, I got dressed & my husband & I walked out into the waiting room to wait to have my exam completed. I felt like every eye in the waiting room was on me. I sat down wondering how many of the people sitting there had a view of my genitals as I had laid on the table with my legs up in the stirrups. I looked around to look at the people sitting there & I evaluated which ones had a view of me in the exam room from where they sat. Most of the ones I thought did see me were middle aged or elderly but one was a good looking guy, probably in his early 30's, with a sexy gold earring in his ear & a leather jacket. He made a point of not looking in my direction but the elderly poeple did stare at me. I flipped thru magazines while I waited & talked to my husband. I didn't tell him that many of the people sitting there had seen my genitals. I wondered why elderly people stare so openly but I remember thinking that they all saw something they don't normally see at a doctor's office that day.

The ambulance came & that took the stares away from me as everyone watched the man having chest pain taken away to the hospital in the ambulance. A few minutes later, the doctor came out to the waiting room to apologize to everyone for the wait & then ended his little speech by turning to me and telling me to come back in so he could finish my exam. As my husband & I followed him back into the exam room, I could feel everyone watching me, including the good looking guy in the leather jacket. I got undressed again & assumed my position back in the stirrups. The rest of my GYN exam continued without any more doors opening. But, I knew that everyone out there in the waiting room knew that I was back up in the stirrups, with the doctor performing my pelvic exam.They were probably envisioning it as the doctor inserted hus fingers into my vagina, inserted the speculum into my vagina for my Pap smear as he visualized my cervix thru the speculum spreading my vagina wide open. They were probably wondering if he had inserted his fingers into my rectum yet .I wondered if they could hear the russling of the paper on the exam table when the doctor had me turn over on the exam table & position myself on my knees & elbows. I wondered if they could hear the doctor instructing me to lower my upper body & bring my shoulders down to the exam table and spread each knee to the far side of each side of the table and keep my bottom up. This part of my exam was as a result of me telling the doctor, in the interview before my exam, that I sometimes had a hard time with leakage from my urethra when I cough or laugh too hard. He explained what he was going to do to me since I had never had an examination in that position before. I wondered if those in the waiting room could hear him as he explained that he was going to insert 2 fingers into my rectum & put a little pressure downward as he spread my labia with his other hand to visualize the opening of my urethra. He wanted to see if the pressure of his fingers in my rectum would cause leakage from my urethra. Thruout the exam I had trouble keeping my bottom up so the doctor kept telling me to keep my bottom up & to take deep breaths. It was difficult to do as he asked when he started pushing into my rectum even though I did bear down when he told me to as he was inserting his fingers into & thru my anus. The force of 2 fingers being pushed into my rectum was pushing me forward causing me to lower my bottom more than the doctor wanted. My GP's voice is pretty deep & I kept wondering if those in the waiting room could hear his instructions to me to bear down, keep my bottom up & to stay open. While he was giving me those instructions as he was inserting his fingers deep into my rectum, he spoke louder than he normally would. Could those waiting in the waiting room hear him & know what position he had me in & envision what he was doing to me. I think I must be somewhat of an exhibitionist since I found myself excited to think that those people did know what the doctor was doing to me & how I must have looked on the exam table with my legs spread wide & my head down & my bottom up in the air. I wonder if they knew that if the door had opened again, they would have had a view of my anus with my vagina visible below that with the doctor's fingers buried into my rectum as he spread my labia with the other hand as he accessed my urethra.

I have always enjoyed mounting the stirrups & spreading my legs wide at the doctor's office. I like when there isn't any drape over me obstructing the doctor's view of me spread wide with my feet up in the air. That day, at the doctor's, I found that it excited me knowing others saw me that way, too. Maybe that is because I was used to spreading my legs, in full view of my mother & Dorothea, when they gave me enemas with my legs up in the air while I was growing up and later when they taught me how to douche while laying in the bathtub with my legs spread & my feet up over the sides of the tub & yes, because Dorothea was European, elderly & old school, yes, also checked that my hyman was still intact when she thought I was too active in sports. In case anyone wants to read it, I told the story of Dorothea & my enemas in the enema section of this forum.
