Rectal temp durning a REAL gyno exam

Has any ladies out there ever gotten there temperature taken rectaly durning any part of there exam??? Please elaborate...

Sadly, no.

No.

Your imagination is running away with you.

No, ever at a real exam

Afraid not, pretty sure if started doing that will find themselves with out a licence very quickly

I don't understand why this concept sounds so foreign. After all, rectal is the most accurate and there are plenty of convenient opportunities. For example, while the patient is on the table with legs spread wide in the stirrups. When the doctor examines her vagina, conducts the pelvic, and the pap smear would be an excellent opportunity to pop a lubricated rectal thermometer deep up her bottom beforehand for 3-4 minutes during this portion of the exam. God knows her rectum is obviously easily available. In fact, she might not even realize it!

Pretty sure they aren't looking for ultimate accuracy, not to mention the other vitals will be checked as well. However it is an erotic thought.

I have news for you, if anything goes in my backside I'm going to realize it. But maybe that's just me?

Its very rare that a temperature is needed at any visit to the gynecologist for a diagnosis.

Guys, you are just dirty old men with too active imaginations. GET REAL.

Alex-I hope you don't try a pelvic exam while a rectal thermometer is in place. In case you aren't aware, the tissue separating the rectum from the vagina is a couple of millimeters thick and with a speculum in place for a pap smear or the palpation involved for a pelvic exam, the possibility of thermometer glass breakage is tremendous and aside from the damage you will cause to her body, your lady patient will NEVER submit herself to you again.

No never during REAL examine,but it would be fun to be asked to have it done during my yearly exam.

Not for my wife.

I never have, but the mom of a friend told me she had a female gynecologist in San Antonio who'd insert a rectal thermometer, while in the stirrups, and do the breast exam while waiting for the results. It's pretty strange....but I have no reason to believe she made it up. Of course, this would have been a very long time ago.....probably early 80s.

No never at a real exam.

I had one taken by a nurse during a physical as a five-year-old boy. I can still feel that strange, bewildering thrill of excitement.

Say what?!?!? No. Sounds like a good way to break the thermometer if it has any possibility of breaking and injuring the patient. Sounds uncomfortable!

Accompanied my then g/f to a gyno appointment years back. I was in the exam room briefly and I saw a mercury thermometer in a container labeled rectal.

After the exam and returning home I told her I saw the thermometer and thought it strange. This was the late 80s and in my mind probably not a common occurrence at most medical facilities. She told me that at a past appointment because of her doctor’s concerns, had her temperature taken rectally, but it it wasn’t done on every visit.

My doctor does my full physical and my pelvic. The nurse takes my vitals. BP, Pulse ox, and temp. I have had my temp taken tympanic (ear). oral, during the virus IR (forehead scan). Never rectally. Even when I worked in the OB/GYN clinic or even in labor and delivery I have never seen it happen. This could be a legitimate question for another country. I have seen it done in videos where they take it orally, vaginally, and rectally. Those are meant to get people's imaginations going and get a guy hard and some women wet. I hate to disappoint you but those are fake.

Never during an exam I have had or witnessed has had an RT. Realm of play exam I am afraid.

I don't know about gyno exams, but there are still docs out there, rare as a full sized spare tire on a modern car, who will take your temp rectally. It just takes patience and alot of rejection, but, the Unicorns are out there.

This would be highly atypical for a routine examination. Rectal temperatures are still taken on adults where there is a need for an actual temperature. For example, when sepsis is considered or when close monitoring in the setting of therapeutic hypothermia after a cardiac arrest.

My wife has never had a rectal temp as part of a gyn exam. She had one in the ER though.

My wife has never had a rectal temp at her gyno exam either.
