Males: Stirrups or Gyno Chair Exams

That's true. Most os urological precuderes are performed in lithotomy position. If the patient requires anesthesia, they use boot - type stirrups with straps.

A simple peniscopy or tretament of HPV lesions at penis is allways done with the male patient on knee rests

(I had 2 peniscopies during my life and both were done like that ).

Peniscopy is a male exam similar to colposcopy on women

I have the same experience that doutordouglas - HPV androscopy and treatment. Lithotomy position is optimal for this long - lasting procedure. The doctor has an access to all areas epecially perineum. I remeber I was relaxed, however it wasn't a pleasure anyway.

I had the pleasure of being placed in stirrups for a pre surgical physical. The nurse practioner was about the same age and quite attractive. I remember her doing the usual checks and then saying hop up on the table. I did and then she pulled out the stirrups and told me to lie back. I did and she said to lift my bottom and then she pulled my shorts completely off! Then she placed each leg in a stirrup and sat down between my legs. Some gentle pulls and tugs and then she put on gloves and surgilubed her fingers.

First she pulled my scrotum and penis up out of the way and then started working her finger up my rectum.I felt myself growing in her hand and appologized. She said no problem and continued. Then a second finger - this got uncomfortable but kept going. Afterwards she cleaned my off and said she needed a sterile urine specimen. More cleaning and then out came the catheter. No discussion just lube and insert. Afterwards cleaned again and told to get dressed. I would have loved to do the same exam on her. . .

Is there ever a need for a doctor to have a male in stirups?

Yes...there is. Procedures that might involve stirrups even for men are cystoscopies, prostate biopsies or proctological examinations. Depends a bit on the equipment of the practice you are going. Here in Germany it is not unlikely for a male to be examined in stirrups if you have urological or proctological problems. I have been examined in stirrups twice - both times was for anoscopies.

I've had to be examined in the stirrups once for prostate problems so it does happen as a lot of the ultrasound suites are more geared towards women and so they have equipment more geared towards women.

I have been put once on stirups by an urologist. Need to have a cystoscopy and for sure it was a weird feeling to be stretched wide for the first time in this way(rather have my best half on them ;-)

The only time I remember being in stirrups was a few years ago when I was being checked for an anal fissure in a procedure called an "Exam under anesthesia." They gave me a spinal, so, although I was awake, I couldn't really feel anything that the half dozen or so people were doing.

During my one and only play exam, I was instructed to place my legs into make-shift stirrups. Loved it! This was done as I was about to receive an enema. Unfortunately, this positioning has not occurred during any REAL exam! Bummer!

It is mainly used for Urological or Proctological Exams in males. If surgery is needed, doctors perfer this position due to the easiness of access and long durability but again you are more likely to be anesthetized.

I was in the stirrups for a cystoscope a few years ago. Absolutely a miserable experience and don't want to repeat it. I have been stirrups for play exams and can say that I don't necessarily find them that comfortable. It has been my experience that different tables have different angles and heel support that can make or break the scenario. I have yet to try the knee style supports but do look forward to finding myself in that position for a play exam.

That's true, that most of urological procedures are performed with a patient in lithotomy position (most often feet in stirrups or rather knee rests). However I cannot agree that it is humiliating or miserable experience. Actually, this position gives best access for the provider and is quite comfortable for the patient. I was in stirrups a couple of times and did not feel any discomfort.

I would agree that it is by no means an uncomfortable position but for a guy unaccustomed to it it is a very exposing position to be put in.

I would like to be examined while my feet are in stirrups, just so i experiance it.

Stirrups and a nice big warm enema from a female nurse, wonderful.

I had prostate massage in stirrups a few times - nice but not my favorite position.

Id love to be put in stirrups and restrained ready for a prostate exam. Velcros fastened in and blindfolded would be extra nice

I would like to be examined with my feet in stirrups, but am turned on even more by the prospect of being stretched out, face down on a tilt table with my cheeks spread and my butt up in the air for all to see.

Scrotal ultrasound I had my feet in stirrups. wasn't expecting it at all. the tech told me to undress from the waist down and I sat there waiting, when she came back with her trainee she pulled them out and had me lay back and adjust my penis above my waist and pin it down with a towel so as to not interfere with the view

One time for a cystoscopy. Was different but not uncomfortable.

Men, have you been in the stirrups or knee crutches in a real medical setting? If so, please tell your story.

The closest I've come is for a urodynamics study. It was a standard exam table with the leg portion extended. When the nurse needed to place the EMG electrodes and rectal catheter, she had me bend my knees, spread my legs and put my feet flat on the extension. Not very satisfying ;-)

Same here for urodynamics study and cyscopty

Not real med setting but plenty times in mistress med room love stirrups more secure the better

I've been there several times for rectal exams

I was placed in stirrups for a cystoscope procedure to rule out bladder cancer as the cause for some blood in my urine. That was miserable experience for me. First of all, the only person in the room with me was the male urologist. He did all the prep work such as wiping my penis with betadine and filling my urethra with lubricant and anesthetic. Before inserting the scope, the doctor reminded me to relax and not move. As he forced the scope past my prostate, I began swinging me lower legs that were suspended at the knee by the stirrups in response to the pain. The doctor reminded me to be still. I then arched my back off of the table hoping to get some relief, the doctor again reminded me to be still and to lay flat to keep the route through the urinary tract as straight as possible through my penis to bladder. The stirrups were neither comfortable, kinky, or fun.

My only experience in real life was also for a cystoscopy. The female nurse told me ahead of time what was going to happen. I was turned on by the thought of being in stirrups. After putting on a gown she asked me to lay on the exam table. She extended the stirrups and guided my legs into place one at a time. I told her now I know how my wife feels. Then she aked me to scoot my bottom down to the edge of the table. If I wasn't so nervous about the procedure I'm sure I would have had an erection.

The only time I was ever placed in the stirrups was for a cyst removal on my inner thigh.Kind of weird.

Doctor never asked me to place my legs in stirrups. Most of the time I was on my back or bend over.

No stirrups here, but my doc has me lay on my back and pull my knees up to my chest for the rectal exam. Not real comfortable, but apparently it gives the doc a better "view" of your rectum. Only lasts for about 30 seconds, so it's not the end of the world.
