What does it feel like when the doctor feels your ovaries?

Liquidsky,

As Susie said it feels like having your testes touched (I am told). Squeeze them and ouch. When a patient has an ovarian cyst or torted ovary watch out!

With manual ovary palpation, I find it painful if I have a cyst brewing or fully developed or if something else is brewing in that area.. Otherwise ovary palpation is a very intense, uncomfortable dull pressure ache. My internal female organs are sensitive. The ache and or pain passes quickly after my GP and or GYN releases my ovaries from his palpation and hold.

You are so very correct! I am not fond of it at all, as my above post states. Nothing arousing, erotic about it at all for me in any way. TVU is not arousing or erotic, it is torture if I do have something brewing with my ovaries or uterus etc.

Yes, it feels like a dull ache, but doesn't really hurt. I can tell when I'm ovulating and once in a while that feels like a sharp pinching type feeling on the one side, which hurts more than the doc doing his thing. Not sure if guys realize women alternate the side each month.

I also get super randy when it's getting close.

Having the doc move the uterus around by pressing on the cervix neck and the abdomen hurts more.

^^^^ Women DO NOT alternate sides each month. That's what would my father would call an old wives tale.

Every month ovulation is stimulated by various hormones and whichever ovary or egg is stimulated first, ovulates. Consider that women with only one ovary still ovulate every month.

It differs for each person. I know my thinner patients generally feel a little ache but I have heard from several of my obese patients that it hurts. The reasoning for this is, rather, quite simple as I need to apply more pressure while examining a well padded patient.

Personally I feel nothing but if my right kidney is ever palpated... That sucker's a shocker.

There's a question I've always wanted to ask - if a person is obese, is the exam tweaked or changed in any way to compensate for the fact that organs cannot be felt as easily? Essentially, will the exam be modified to accommodate varying sizes of women?

@BlackWidow

I just use more pressure on the abdomen. With practice it becomes easier. If a person is too obese to properly Palpate I will send them for an ultrasound.

I am fairly average in weight and in the past, the doctor has applied so much pressure with the internal hand that my reaction was to scoot up the table and away. This may be that the Gyno's I've been to are shorter women and maybe they just have smaller fingers and need to reach deeper to feel anything?

There's some pressure but it doesnt generally hurt

Generally I just feel some pressure. But as an obese patient, my doctor often has to press pretty hard. I also have a lot of transvaginal ultrasounds so my doctor can get abetter view of my ovaries.

My ovaries are quite sensitive and nearly always when pressure applied from inside and from above, it hurts quite a bit but I try and breathe through it..

I feel a little pressure. It does not hurt

No, it doesn't hurt unless my bladder is full. My doc is very gentle and I don't even feel his fingers inside. The one I had before was an older guy who believed in deep palpation and his exam was more of a dull ache. He was much better as I felt taken care of - well examined etc.

It doesn't hurt or feel weird but when my gynecologist puts his fingers inside of me it feels very, very, VERY good with lots of pressure around the opening of my vagina and on my vagia walls, I sometimes tighten up really tight on his fingers because it feels so good lol

Doesn't hurt but my old dr fingers where really big so just lots of entry pressure

When I went to have my check up with my gynecologist I just felt some pressure from his fingers up in my vagina but I do not remember it being very uncomfortable and I know I did not feel any pain. I just did not feel it was a problem really and it was good to know that there was nothing wrong.

I did not get excited when it was being done but later when I thought about it I could not wait to get my husband's pants off and jump on him. 😃

Simply a dull pressure here as long as nothing is going on inside to have them inflamed etc. Only been sensation a couple of times when other issues were present that he ended up treating or referring me out.

Yes it feels weird. A gloved finger is inside you. The doctor moves the finger inside to check thoroughly. Definitely a different sensation. And yes I feel slight pressure. But unless something wrong is felt the exam gets over soon. Luckily I have never faced any painful discomfort till now

Slight pressure

I feel pressure, not painful or pleasant.

Feel a lot of pressure

It normally feels like slight pressure. Except for one time, I had a male obgyn and it felt like sharp pain.. it even felt crampy the next day.

I usually feel a lot of pressure but not pain

The feeling is sort of a little tender when pressing in and down in the adnexa with the vaginal finger sort of pressing the opposite way.

There is a little pressure for sure.

No pain, just a little pressure. Way more comfortable than when a speculum is opened (which also is not really bad but does feel a little bit like a pinching)

Just a bit of pressure, I don’t ever recall feeling any pain

I'm mostly too aware of her 2 fingers being up my tight vagina just like a woman does when I'm getting fingered to really notice the pressing!

Two fingers deep inside you are pressing up into you as far as they can reach, while another hand presses forcefully down on your abdomen. While the pressure and the penetration can be intense, discomfort varies with the time of the month.

Two fingers deep inside you are pressing up into you as......h.

My wife described it just like des... Fingers inside as deep as possible pressing up and the other hand externally pressing firmly down.

Not really painful but unconforteable at the point of pain.

Gynecological examinations (real ones ?) sometimes could be very terrible, always dreaded.

It can be a little bit uncomfortable, especially if 5e doctor isn’t particularly gentle which has happened a couple of times. Also, I have had problems with ovaries and when they are pressed it can be painful.

Ok, so this is by no means a real doctor's exam, but here goes. When I play DrFn and give MrsFn a play exam, I usually feel for her ovaries, in the medthod described in previous posts, two fingers as deep in her vagina as I can get them, then sweeping down on her ovaries with my left hand. The first time I did that in a play exam, MrsFn let out a very deep breath. When I asked her if I were hurting her, she just said, "No. It's just pressure. You are VERY thorough."

I took this as a job well done. 😁
