Proctoscope exam

Much the same...have a few "Silver Stallions"....just the corral is a bit different...butt fun when it rears up. 😁

Silver stallion. I forgot! colonoscopies are black magic or black power or the black mamba.

I have never had this done in a real exam, but from everyone I know who has had it done they have all said that it is really not all that bad, more embarrassing than anything else according to them.

Liquidsky ^^^ Much the same-- Lets dark places see the light.

No pain at all in my experience. Depending on the doctor, you may feel slight pressure.

The IV inserted into the vein on the front of the hand is painful and very uncomfortable as it gets inserted. Especially if they hunt and probe and hit the bone. I got up and walked out of the preparation room. They were jabbing old ladies with these IV needles and some were dripping blood on the floor. My Doctor called me at home later that day and told me I did the right thing and that these technicians need to smarten up. If more people did what you did he said they would get the message loud and clear. I was rescheduled at another facility and they allowed me to opt out of the IV and just wing it. All went fine and what measure of discomfort that was felt was nothing compared to botched IV insertions.

Are you talking about colonoscopy? Proctoscope studies are commonly done in the doctor's office with no drugs at all.

As a 20-something, what was your medical need for either exam?

An IV on the hand? Oh suck it up. They hurt but you have to gut it out. As Jds says why did you need a colonoscopy at 20?

I didn't even want to talk about the comment about hitting the bone. The process of starting an IV has nothing to do with getting near a bone. Even when starting IVs in the back of an ambulance racing on rough NYC streets I never hit a bone.

'Allowed' you to opt out? You need to give consent. If you don't give consent and they do it anyway that's called medical battery.

It was for anal fissure torn tissue which had been bleeding intermittingly. Had to be done in out patient at hospital.

They did hit the bone area because the technician was inept in doing it. Its not all rosy the way you may think in some of these hospitals these days. The ideal is not always there. I do not eat any more cream cheese or rich cream pastries and cakes. No more bleeding since then.

Anal fissures call for an anoscope.

A colonoscopy with an IV for an anal fissure? That's overkill. I bet utilization review and your insurance had a lot to say about that.

Physical...I just do not understand why you just keep going on and on with your BS. You always get called on it. Then you drop off the grid for a few weeks. (perhaps your feelings were hurt. Well then stop lying) Then you return and post another BS fantasy and act like nothing previous has occurred. Why do you keep trying to undermine the collective intelligence of the others who visit and post on this site.

I'm with Turkent and Andy. You're totally full of bullshit. Please keep your post to fantasy sections or tell the truth.

The OP was about four years ago, and he is still with us. Therefore I assume he survived the scope.

I don't know about physical's story and history. Y'all may be onto him.

Back in the early 80s I had a problem with some bright blood when I would wipe. I saw a doc and he did a quick exam with I assume, the same type of scope. I don't recall it being painful at all. I don't think he saw any tissue tears bur probably a bit of inflammation. He put me on nightly small cortisone retention enemas, which seemed to clear things up. A barium enema didn't find anything either.

A couple relapses a few years later got me my first colonoscopy around 1990, which found some ulcerative colitis. I've been on maintenance sulfasalazine ever since. I think it was my body's way of reacting to stress.

I've had IVs for colonoscopies, but never for the shorter scopes. My last time I even waived the IV for colonoscopy since I don't want the drugs. I like to be able to converse with the doc and watch the monitors.

We should ask Webmaster to create a comic relief forum.

A comic relief forum ? What a great idea. I know just who could be charter members!

^^^^ Guys,we got one ---Tis called "Jokes & Humour" 😁

A comic relief forum, for sure! Good idea!

I like to diss poseurs in the serious threads.

Sky. . .ya missed the anal-ogy 😁

I love the table the gi docs have. Oh the possibilities!

A little embarrassing and uncomfortable but the doc usually stretches things pretty well before the scope goes in so it is uncomfortable but should not hurt much.

Geez nearly 6 years has flown by and not many seem familiar with the “Silver Stallion”

I‘ve only had one, back in the 80s when I was 40. In the doctors office, on the table on all fours, head and shoulders down, butt up in the air. The scope was rigid but relatively short. Rectal exam first, then In it wen. Not pain really, just uncomfortable as he manipulated it around inside me. Exquisite feeling as it was being withdrawn. Had two flexible sigmoidoscopies in the office over the next couple of years. Not painful but I was very aware of the scope as it went “around the corner”. Felt incredible being withdrawn, very erotic in a way.

I got to ride the “Silver Stallion” in the late 80's during a routine physical. It was not at all painful. Like others, on the table on all fours head down. I don't know for sure how long the proctoscope was - I only saw it after the procedure on the tray and it seemed to be longer than 5 inches. Maybe I just imagined it being longer than it was. It wasn't all that fat in diameter so the insertion wasn't challenging at all.

I had a real one with a real doc to check for hemorrhoids and it was a full but pleasant feeling. He went slowly. I can imagine it turning erotic quite quickly.

Never tried

I've had proctoscope exams none of which have been painful in any way.

When examining patients I like to use a proctoscope during my routine well woman exams, I like the position of the patient on all fours with ass in the air.

Plenty of lube and a slow insertion seems to ensure patients somewhat enjoy the procedure.

I agree also that a cold steel proctoscope is more enjoyable than the plastic variety from personal experience.

Doc.
