Bear down

I've been told to bear down, and it does help to relax the sphicter and let the finger slide in smoothly. Recently, the magic words have been: "Take a nice deep breath and hold it...now let it out." Of course, letting the deep breath out also relaxes the sphincter and lets his finger slip right in. Then there's the "Gasp!" that occurs when his fingertip actually presses on my prostate.

I have very recently had two gyno exams with two different doctors because I am looking to have a uterine fibroid removed. Both sucked for different reasons.

The first gynecologist I saw was really rushed and brusque in his manner. When he was inserting the speculum, he gave no warning, which caused me to reflexively tighten up and draw my knees together. At this, he quite impatiently said, "Look, if you just relax, you'll make this a whole lot easier on both of us!" So, without any further instruction, I figured I'd just bear down, and that would do the trick.

It worked.

I always get the "turn your head and cough" treatment, I always know what comes next when the doctor says this.

My gyn has me do that while i am in the stirrups and again 4for the rectal exam embarassing but a real urn on too!

My gyn tells me to do that when in the stirrups for the recto-vaginal exam. I find the words both embarrassing and exciting. Love hearing those descriptive phrases doctors use and also the "being told" aspect of it and having to comply. Definitely know what is coming when told to bear down since I know the finger in my bottom will be next and uncomfortable in that moment, but yet that is another aspect that is also exciting, the discomfort of being intimately probed, both physically and psychologically.

My gyn has always asked me to bare down prior to inserting anything vaginally or into bottom, appreciate the heads up so to speak and i find it quite turn on being told to do so, and to relax or part legs further etc.

I heard the doctor tell my wife that once...his hand was under the sheet but i instantly knew where his finger was going.

In my experience (and I have done countless rectal exams), Most people in the UK including myself ask the patient to relax and take a deep breath in while inserting a finger in the backside. The rationale behind it is that during inspiration the abdominal, pelvic muscles and anal sphincter relaxes and allows the finger in easily.

I have not heard of any colleagues who use the bear down technique but the logic behind it does sound convincing although more embarrassing for the patient.

I've got a female doctor, but she's never asked me to bear down. She usually has me to get on my left side and bring my knees to my chest. Before she inserts her finger she tells me to "take a deep breath"..."now exhale" as her lubed finger goes up my rear. It's not a pleasant experience, even though she is pretty. I'm usually ready for her to take it out quickly because it kind of hurts. It's not gentle like a prostate massage. With all the pressing and prodding around, that little female digit feels 4 times thicker than it really is.

I've never asked patients to bear down, but now I wonder if I should. I've always suggested they breathe deeply if they are experiencing discomfort. 😃

I had to 'Bear Down' during an anal exam yesterday. This is while a small anal speculum was inserted. This sure caused me to feel that I had to expel all that is crammed up inside of me.

I was told that i needed to have surgery for internal hemorrhoids. got to www.thdamerica.com to see what they are proposing to do . There is a short video that shows what happens. I guess I have to say that as and engineer I was so into the simplicity of the whole procedure.

My doctor told me i have a tiny prostate as he pushes his finger in me

I like to be told to "bear down" both in real life and in medical play situations.

I don't think that I have ever been told to "bear down", but I have been told to relax, you might feel some pressure, or this may make you feel like you have to go to the bathroom, or this will feel cold and wet.

It is exciting when the doctor tells you bear down, and then relax, definately

Just a little bit of pressure here.....try and relax....

I have been asked to "bear down" while the doctor was inserting his finger in my rectum only a couple of times that I remember. Can't say that anything feels different between doing that and not doing that. Most of the time, the doctor doesn't say anything other than "drop your shorts to your ankles and put your chest down on the exam table." I have heard of guys being told to point their feet inward during a rectal exam, but has never happened to me.

A few years back a friend of mine was having some issues in the rectal area, and he knew he would have to see a doctor, but he wouldn't make an appointment unless I agreed to go with him to the doctor.

I wasn't sure a doctor would allow me into the exam room with my friend, but I agreed to go, and take my chances.

Fortunately, the doctor had no problem with me in the room, if that's what the patient wanted.

The strange thing was that this doctor seemed to conduct the exam in a way that was completely humiliating to my friend.

He started out having my friend remove his shirt and shoes. Then after stething him and listening to his abdomen, he told him to remove his jeans and underpants. He was left standing there with nothing but his socks on. My friend and I were trying not to make eye contact. I could tell he was absolutely embarrassed.

After inserting his finger into my friend's butt in several different positions, bent over, left side on table, he finally brought out the stirrups and had my friend lie on his back and put his feet in the stirrups. I can still see the look on my friend's face as he was lying there with his legs spread wide open. I didn't want to watch, but I had to.

Before he inserted his finger this time, he asked my friend to "bear down". I think my friend thought if he didn't do it, the doctor would not know the difference. But, unfortunately, the doctor could see that he wasn't doing it. So the doctor repeated himself: "Come on, young man, push down like you're taking a poop". Now my friend couldn't avoid it. As he was trying to push down, the doctor started inserting his finger. All of a sudden there was a loud release of air as my friend started to pass wind. I could hear him groan as he realized what he had just done. The doctor paid no attention and continued to probe him. As he started to withdraw his finger, I could see my friend's face and body, trying to tighten up to make sure that didn't happen again.

So, in my opinion, I feel most men don't like to "bear down" because it is very likely that they will have an accident. I've heard stories of guys bearing down during a rectal exam, and actually have a turd fly out. How much more humiliated can a guy be?

My wife's gyn tells her to "push" when she gets her rectal.

My doc doesn't tell me to "bear down", but maybe that's because I'm pretty good at relaxing my anus so his finger slides right in. Then it's all done in a few seconds--I really wish he'd linger more like they do in the training videos, cause I like the way it feels.

I've never had a doc ask me to bear down. They seem to say things more along the lines of relaxing.

My last DRE the female doc did not say anything. I was awaiting instructions or a heads up of some sort. Instead she ended up punching my ass cheek with her fist as her finger went into my rectum. I was a bit of guard as she started to ask some questions I had no answer to because all I wanted to do was ask her if she just punched me in the ass on purpose.

I've never been told to bear down in a rectal exam, both MedFet and real. However, either being told to bear down or breath deeply is usually always included in a MedFet video.

My gynecologist usually tells me to bear down when he does an bimanual examination or just rectal.

Andrea resumed well the purpose and importance of this manoeuvre at the gynecological exam. It must and may be used during external evaluation having labia separated, with fingers inserted pressing the pelvic floor, having anus exposed and also to help the rectal finger insertion or the insertion of anoscopes or sigmoidoscopes.I always use it at my playexams such as asking the patient to "squeeze" my indicator while inside vagina and making the patient cough.

The last prostate exam I had, the doc told me to bear down like I was going to have a bowel movement. He then inserted his finger. I barely felt his finger going in. I believe it relaxes the anal muscles.

I have had a yearly physical exam since turning 35. I am now 52 and have had a prostate exam each of those years. Sometimes, two prostate exams per year if I am lucky! Anyway, I have never been told to "bear down." Actually, I have only heard the instruction to "bear down" in a few medical videos that are posted on-line.

I can now say that I have been told to "bear down!" I had my first play exam yesterday, and I was naked flat on my back on the exam table. When the "doctor" inserted his finger into my rectum he had me to "bear down." As a matter of fact, I was instructed to "bear down" four different times! Each time, he would change the positioning of his finger that was inserted into my ass!

During the 'turn your head and cough' hernia check part of my exam my doctor shoves two fingers way up in my sack and on up inside me and says he's checking my inguinal ring, he pushes up very hard and tells me to bear down hard like I'm trying to have a bowel movement. Fortunately nothing in the bowel to move and the exam finds no tears or weakness in the inguinal ring. But it's not over, the digital prostate exam comes next. But of course, bend over and smile. : )

My butt doctor asked me while she kept her index finger in. she took her time to check but didn't find anything.
