Ladies: Proctoscope experience?

Would any ladies report? What was it like? Prep used?

Mark :-)

I have had a Proctoscope exam, I had to take a couple of enemas the previous day till Ithe water was clear, on the morning of my exam I was given another enema then placed on the proctoscopic bench and the proctoscope inserted up my bum for at least 15 minutes while the dr, took a good look inside.

Really would like to try this exam.

I've done in a play context anoscope and proctoscope exams on female patients. I choose usually the knee-chest position specially for my 20 cm kelly procotscope. If I'm doing only a "not so deep examination" using only my Hirschmann Anoscope (much shorter) i may perform the examination on the sims position.

Analee, were you wearing nothing during your proctoscopy?

I am not altogether sure whether or not I have had a proctoscope exam. I do, however, know that I have had sigmoidoscopes in three different sizes. The primary prep for this "exam" was copious numbers of enemas. However, I did benefit from the stretching of the first two smaller ones before taking the largest one.

With a colon cleaned with enemas, I was on my knees on a "table" that was tilted forward until my bum was about eye level to the "doctor" he inserted the "pediatric" one first, and then an intermediate one which was somewhat uncomfortable and finally, one he called "surgical" in size. I did not comment, but was very glad he removed that one.

My "play" doctor usually does a proctoscope exam when he does a sigmoidoscopy. If I'm seeing him just for fun I have to have a fleet enema first. Then he uses a plastic disposable proctoscope to check if I am clean enough before he does the sigmoidoscopy. Of course I get another enema if I am not clean so I try to be.

If I am having a full lower gi exam I have to prep first so I am always clean. After he feels with his finger he does the sigmoidoscopes first and then he looks with a *large* metal proctoscope. Then he does the colonoscopy.

Awesome posts

Would a real ob-gyn doctor ever have a reason to do one, or are proctoscope exams confined to GI only?

I love to do these during play exams. Usually start with a soapsuds enema and then a fleet enema to make sure water has been evacutaed. Then I proceed with a sigmoidoscopy. Most women enjoy this. There is some cramping with it, as air is introduced to help expand the colon to make it easier to do the sigmoidoscopy. Afterward, I offer a saline enema to help evacuate air if the patient would like.

I had the first of many in 1975 when I was 15. My mother took me to the doctor after dealing with constipation even after trying enemas, which seemed to be a short term fix. My doctor referred us to a proctologist about 30 minutes away. After a short chat there, I had to remove everything below my waist and put on a gown. The nurse gave me a series of enema before instructing me to mount the tilting exam table, and I rode the silver stallion! It hurt like hell but it’s what really sparked my medfet interest. I remember my ass being so sore and my mother giving me a Tylenol suppository to ease the pain while I laid in bed for the rest of the day. I’d write a story here on the whole experience if anyone is interested 😃

@beporter60, why yes, of course we are interested, write away. And, please don't leave out any details!

@beporter60, At least you found your way to zity, never to late to do so. So welcome and enjoy the site!

Any idea why you were referred to a proctologist vs a gastroenterologist?? That would seem more appropriate as a first step to figure out what is going on.

"...and I rode the silver stallion!" 😄 😄 Nice visual !

A butt doctor by any other name is still a butt doctor!

In a condition called "Rectovaginal Fistula," an (unnatural) opening develops between the Rectum and the Vagina (which requiring surgical repair). The vagina and rectum lay right up against one-another in the body,

I'm guessing that the G-I Gastro-Intestinal /Procto guy or girl would take precedence over a gynaecologist, buta gynaecologist mught discover it.

My wife had one proctoscopy done by her general practioner because she had visibile blood after defecation on the stool and had a positive fecal blood test. She got at first a short rectal examniantion lying on her left side on the examination table in the doctors office, she needed to pull down her jeans and panties and to bent her knee. The doctor decided to do a proctoscopy and anal speculum examanination and to make a colonoscopy in the local hospital. For the proctoscopy and anal speculum no preparation was necessary, after the rectal examination first he did the proctoscopy then the speculum examination and discovered the reason of bleeding by a small fissure in the anal canal. The examination was no big deal.
