Anal Speculums, Anoscopes, Proctoscopes!

Being examined with an anoscope / proctoscope is my ultimate med fantasy

I've heard that when you are very relaxed an anoscope or rectal speculum can be very enjoyable. I would love to bend over and have one inserted in to me. That sounds so hot.

Yes, they DO make some larger instruments in this category. I have seen an anoscope that had a 35mm (1 & 3/8") outside diameter, although most of them are smaller - 11mm, 17mm & 22mm are the most common. The older hard-tube (metal) sigmoidoscopes go up to 35mm in diameter and 15" in length. How does it feel? One of my female 'patients' described it like this: "It feels a LOT like I have to p**p... but I know that that's only a 'feeling' and, as a result, I'm okay with it. What fascinates me is that it's turning me 'on'... and I didn't really expect it..."

Boy..... I heard that. Just looking at one is stimulating enough. Whew!

I had a rectal exam performed with a rigid, metal proctoscope when I turned 40 about 25 years ago. I went in for my annual physical and was instructed by the nurse to undress down to my shorts. I did as instructed and saw something on the counter against the wall that was intriguing. The instrument was laid out on a white towel along with rubber gloves and a tube of KY Jelly. I got a pretty good look at it. Attached to the end was a large, black rubber bulb encased in some sort of netting. It also had an eye piece and lens. I also saw that it had a rounded tip protruding from the end of the metal tube and a handle at the other end.

My doctor came in and performed the usual exams. When he had finished with them, he told me that this was my turn for a rectal exam. I was instructed to remove my shorts and lie down on my left side on the examination table. I could hear him snapping on the rubber gloves which has always aroused me. He then had me draw up my legs and scoot my rear over to the edge of the table. I felt his hand lift my right ass cheek and then a cold metal object against my anus. He told me to bear down like I was having a bowel movement. As I did so, the scope slowly slid into my rectum. I could feel the full length as it stretched me open. When it was fully inserted, I felt puffs of air spreading my colon even farther. After taking a good look, the tube was withdrawn and I was given some tissue to wipe the goo off of my ass. The procedure was not painful at all and in retrospect quite erotic in nature. I have since had two flexible sigmoidoscope exams and one colonoscopy performed. Neither of these procedures are anywhere as memorable.

Make sure that you use a rectal speculum. A rectal speculum has a much smoother bill that is small in width. You can get them in many different lengths but a vaginal speculum should never be used in a rectum.

The vaginal speculum has much wider bills so it can go into the vagina easier. Also make sure that you use lube when it is inserted and that it is inserted evenly in a downward and slow motion. Good Luck !!

Funster, You might want to invest in a stainless steel anuscope. It works much like the speculums used by colon hydrotherapists. It's much more comfortable and has a center piece (obturator) that is removed after insertion. Many medical suppliers and bondage shops carry these, and I dont think they cost that much either.

An anal speculum for use in the surgical treatment of haemorrhoids comprises a transparent plastics tubular probe adapted to be inserted into the anus of a patient. The probe has a tapered body (13), a leading end (14) having three bights (17) formed therein spaced apart by tongues (1😎, a flared trailing end skirt (15) and an optical conductor (16) extending as a cantilever therefrom. That conductor may extend into an illuminated socket in a handle whereby the speculum may be manipulated and the visibility of haemorrhoids exposed within the bights is enhanced. A tapered tubular introducer (11) to assist in the insertion of the speculum into the anus, is also disclosed

Each of these stainless steel medical examination devices is intended for anal spreading. They are solid and well-made. These are sold as collector's pieces or novelty items. Do not use them for anal spreading unless you know how to use them safely and carefully.

When opened, the prongs spread to a maximum of about 2" apart, which is enough of a spread to do damage to some people (hence the need for extreme caution). Once the desired spread is achieved, the speculum can be locked open by turning an adjustment screw on the side of the device.

Choose from either the two prong (Sims) or three prong (Mathieu).

Ouchhhhh that happened to me, oh my the pain was awful

It is definitely uncomfortable. Last year before my hemorrhoid banding, the proctologist did an anoscopy exam on me. It was done to get a clear look at my internal hemorrhoids.

When I got there, the nurse first handed me a gown and a fleet to clean my rectum out. After expelling and cleaning up, I was lead to the exam room where the doc was already waiting.

I was placed on a specialized table in a "Z" shape (head and abdomen on a downward incline, bent at the waist and knees, and butt up). It was nicely padded and fairly comfortable.

The doc did a rectal exam first using some Lidocaine-containing lubricant. He told me he was going to do the exam and had me move my knees apart. I saw it briefly -- it was plastic disposable scope; it looked like a toy rocket and was maybe 4 in. long and 1 in. in diameter at the widest part. My cheeks were then spread *wide* open and I felt him press the scope against the opening. He told me, "Push like you're moving your bowels." I did, and it started going in. It got to be painful as it was pushed all the way in, even with the numbing lubricant. He looked through it with a light and repeatedly twisted it around (which hurt) and looked with the light before taking it out.

After it was over, the doc suggested that the best course of action was ligation, since my 'roids (grade II/III) were mainly internal. It's now three months after the treatment and I'm still (mostly) painfree, so I would have to say that it was good diagnosis and treatment option.

I get a very small bit blood on the toilet paper when I go the toilet sometimes, it's come and gone in short spells for about a year and a half now, the anoscopy that I'd doubtless have to (as a minimum) get if I went to the doctor really puts me off in some way...they look really thick and long, plus the embarrassment 😢

The most common reason for small amounts of blood on the toilet paper are hemorrhoids. But there can be other causes, too. So, daiv, you should definitely get it checked out soon.

Anoscopy is normally not at all painful, unless you have thrombosed hemorrhoids or other serious anorectal pain. Some primary care physicians do these examinations, but most likely you'll have to go to a proctologist.

Here's my story: About 20 years ago, I had episodes of blood on the toilet paper. I didn't have a primary care physician at the time, since I was pretty young. So I went to the medical department where I work. An older physician saw me. He had me drop my pants and underpants. He had me bend over and spread my cheeks for him. He visually inspected my anus and then proceeded to give me a useless lecture about proper anal care, all of which I was doing already anyway.

A few months later, after another episode or two of bleeding at the toilet, I went to a proctologist. I had to prepare by taking a home enema. The doctor had a small office with two nurses, one to help him with the exam and the other to manage the equipment in the office. I had to strip from the waste down in front of the nurses, hardly a time for modesty. I then lay down on the exam table on my left side. At that point, the nurses gave me a drape. The doctor visually examined my anus, followed by anoscopy and a rigid proctoscopy. He then did a flexible sigmoidoscopy (that was before colonoscopy was common). Everything was normal except for the hemorrhoids. The proctologist then injected the hemorrhoids with a "sclerosing" agent, which causes the varicose veins responsible for the hemorrhoids to seal up, causing reduction of the hemorrhoids. The injections aren't the most pleasant thing in the world but are quick and provide rapid relief. I had no significant problem with hemorrhoids for almost 10 years.

Quote:"I have never had an anoscope or proctoscope used on me however I have taken a plastic speculum from the doctors office and used it at home. It was good because it was a vaginal speculum and it felt really good being stretched open. I used a mirror and looked at myself. I would love to one day use it on my partner. I love anal anything. "

OK: NEVER USE A PLASTIC VAGINAL SPECULUM IN A RECTAL EXAM, IT MAY REALLY BREAK AND YOU'LL END AT THE HOSPITAL EMERGENCY!

The one anoscope exam I did have should not have gone well for so many reasons, but despite the odds it was totally fine.

My first rectal exam was also my first gyn exam at only 16. I had insisted upon seeing a female, and there was only one who practiced in town. She was very rough and completely insensitive to the fact that it was my first exam. She didn't explain anything to me or prepare me for what was about to happen. So it was a complete shock to me when she plunged her finger deep into my rectum. Many recall the feeling of a bowel movement about to pass. I was so shocked, I wasn't even able to process thoughts like that.

My mom expressed her shock that the doctor performed the speculum exam and expressed how traumatic that could be for some the first time. I was so horrified by the rectal exam, I just said it was all fine and nothing else. I was sore for days.

I've always loved anal play, especially when it came to rectal temps and playing doctor/nurse. I never enjoyed rectal exams, though. Some doctors performed them for my gyn exams, some didn't. Among those who did; some warned me in advance, some didn't. Among those who did, no-one ever told me to bear down. I read about that somewhere and learned that made it easier. I still find them painful, though.

Anyway, I saw this GI for bleeding. He asked me to lie on my left side with my knees bent, and did a rectal exam first. It was the easiest rectal exam I had ever had. He turned his finger inside of me to feel for abnormalities, which I normally find very painful. This was not even uncomfortable. He then slowly introduced a lubricated plastic anoscope past my anus. He did not tell me to bear down or warn me in any other way. Yet I knew to take a breath and do this, so it slid very easily into my rectum. I definitely felt the sliding sensation as it entered, again when he twisted it to look from different angles, and lastly when he slid it out slowly (I think they are still viewing as they remove it).

In conclusion: if I love things in my rectum (and putting things in those of others ) outside of the doctor's office, yet don't care for them during a medical exam - that anoscope must make an AMAZING play doc/nurse toy.

Oops - I should clarify. I wrote:

"I've always loved anal play, especially when it came to rectal temps and playing doctor/nurse. I never enjoyed rectal exams, though."

I meant rectal exams in a doctor's office. Sorry for any confusion. 🌹

Just my two cents.... But I speculate that maybe the reason you enjoy anal/rectal play outside the doctors office is because it's a more relaxed atmosphere and you're more willing.... Just a thought

My gf and i love speculum and anoscope play.. Awesome!

Can one use a small colins or graves vaginal speculum for rectal? I have seen some pics with graves used for both vaginal and rectal examinations.

Or do we really need a specialized rectal spec?

thanks

Used one hurt if not used slowly with lube and be careful

I would not use a vaginal spec for anal inspection. It's too risky. There are several rectal specs available at relatively low cost. However, all rectal exams should be done very carefully and only after the patient has been thoroughly cleaned with enemas.

Yes you can, just lube well, insert two fingers to get some lube inside and keep the bills slightly separated so you don't pinch the tissue. Insert the speculum slowly and after the anus has relaxed.

I never used a vaginal speculum in the rectum and don't even consider doing it

Would not suggest a vaginal speculum for an anal exam. They're too large and may cause tissue damage. Best to use a well-lubed 3 pronged anal speculum. On your elbows and knees and with some good anal preparation, the 3 pronger will slip right in!

The vaginal ones sound like a bad owwie waiting to happen

I have a Pratt rectal speculum which I have done some playing with and a Barr rectal retractor that I haven't had time to work with yet. Both are available fairly cheaply on Ebay. Just a word of advise.... do NOT close the device all the way before removing...trust me on THAT....(pinches a very tender spot..)

Elaine... (toys toys and more toys)

I have a very small speculum that I have used in the rectum. No problems. As already stated, don't let it close or you will pinch tender tissue. Also make sure that recent enemas have been completely expelled. If not when you insert and open you will have a brown gusher. Also, lube, lube, lube. I use a vaginal applicator filled with KY. Insert it and inject a load of KY. The is good for many rectal procedures.

Recommend using a vaginal spreader...just pad the insertable.metal sleeves because they are too sharp on the edges. Works much.better than anal speculums because the two blades are thinner and they open in such a manner that does not slip out. Totally hands free at that point. None of the anal speculums have this feature other than Collins. However, the blades on a Collins speculum are too wide in my opinion...even tne smallest model.

Play docs, which are your preferred type of rectal specula? Two or three bladed, fenistrated? Which are the most popular?

I like whichever ones are the best built and open the widest. The best I've found so far is a 3 bladed that opens to 2.5 inches.
