Stethoscope exams at your gyn appointments?

A question that came up over on the Heartbeat Pleasure site--women, does your gyno listen to your lungs and heart when you go there for your routine gyn exams? Since the patient's breasts have to be exposed for the breast exam, it seems like a good time to take a listen to the patient's heart.

My wife's gyn does not use a stethoscope during her exams.

This is more likely to happen at countries in which the gynecologist plays also the women primary care role. I think it's common in the United States, and more rare at Europe ( never heard any friend or play patient referred to be auscultated by her gynecologists in Portugal ). I have a Brazilian gynecologist friend that includes heart auscultation but not lungs: In many gynecology manuals a general even brief general physical exam ( including lungs and heart exam) is advised.

In my experience the gynaecologist doesn't listen to your heart but he did put the stethosocope in different places on my stomach and listen. Presumably for any gynaecologoical issues.

There is probably a greater likelihood of a stethoscope exam at the initial prenatal examination as well, as that exam is in part to evaluate the patient's overall fitness for giving birth.

My gyno always has me sit up, naked with a paper drape over my lap, and listens to my heart and lungs at the beginning of the exam. Sometimes but not always, he also listens to my abdomen, either while I am sitting or after I lie down and cover my breasts again. I thought that was normal?

Each time I went to te appointment with an ex-gf, she received a general exam as well: auscutation, lungs, bp

My ob/gyn always listens to my heart and lungs during my exam.

Mine always does, first when i'm sitting up and then a little more thoroughly when i'm lying down. then she listens to my tummy for a bit. when i'm at the GP (different dr.), she mostly always does, depending on what i'm there for. it's always much more thorough for my annual physical.

My wife's does not use a stethoscope.

My wife told me that her Gyn listened to he heart and lungs during her first appointment with her (a woman doc). At the next appointments, she just took her blood pressure. When my wife took our daughter to her first gynecological exmam, die doctor also listened to her heart and lungs.

As I love women being stethed (especially by the real doctor), I'd prefer, that she is stethed at every appointment. I love when she tells me about the exam, and I always aks her for details...

Gynecologists don't usually listen to the chest but if they do I doubt they can make any sense of it. No offense to gynecologists though.

My Gyn don´t listen to my heart an lungs. Only the nurse does a quick check of my blood pressure.

Had my 1st gyn exam yesterday at a new dr. The dr (woman) did not use her stethoscope though I was hoping she would because I love that and I knew my breasts would be exposed. My favorite part of physicals is the steth exam especially when you are not wearing a bra. I had to wear a cloth gown open in front & a cloth sheet draped over my lap. I was expecting her to listen since it was my 1st visit, but she just had me lie back & checked my breasts, abdomen and then did the pelvic and pap smear. She was quick about it and I barely noticed it was going on, amazingly becuase she was so good at carrying a conversation while examining.

Every time I have been to a gyn appointment, I have received a stethoscope exam. Sometimes just the heart and lungs but sometimes it has extended to also listening to my belly. I have to say, it's a lot more exciting feeling the stethoscope move down when there are no panties under the gown.

My gyn has me lay down and he steths me under the gown before moving to the breast exam.

My doctor listens to my heart and lungs he usually does it before the breast exam so im not exposed though
