Spreading your butt cheeks in a medical setting

After the genital exam, the doc tells me turn and bend over. After his finger is lubed, he says - hands on your hips and spread your cheeks. He then goes in for the DRE

I've never been asked to spread my buttocks. If I'm bent over for the prostate exam the urologist just slips his finger in.

Yes when getting an anal swab taken and it wasn't at all pleasant!

Yes, at a physical last year it was a NP and said that she didn't have to do a full rectal but wanted to take a look so she asked me to spread cheeks apart.

No, bend over, but never "spread your cheeks".

No doctor has ever told me to spread my cheeks. I had one physical for sports in college where the doctor told me to turn around and bend over the table. She spread my cheeks on her own, took a look but never did a rectal exam. It was a bit exciting but nothing crazy.

Sadly, never in a real exam.

US military physical

Yes, at least four times in the military during physical exams that I can recall. But then there was the "personal hygiene inspection" in basic training by the sergeant. This is where all the recruits would have to shower down, shave, etc., and then be subjected to "inspection". The last thing done was "bend over and spread 'em" ... kind of embarrassing, but I got over it. I've never had to spread 'em during a civilian physical ... my doctor seems to know his way in and out, so to speak.

This is such a funny question LOL

No, I've never been asked to spread my butt cheeks during an exam but if I were to be asked that I honestly would die laughing so hard.......

Only twice, both in the military. The first was when I first joined up, and the second was when I did jungle training and I got heart stroke.

Never been asked to spread my butt cheeks nurses have done it for doctor or for them to insert thermometer or sups or enema nozzle's they have said we have to spread them but never asked me to do it

No, never have,...

Yes many times!

Especially in the military

This is such a funny question LOL

Lmao @MissAmy1980. Butt if you were laughing so hard, how would he get the exam done? Karma and a like for you. 😁

Well, if you are male and have a half way competent doc you should be used to this because if you have a good doc you should be getting a good prostate exam at least once a year. And not to preach here, but you should insist on a prostate exam and not rely on the lab results of your PSA lab results. Let me give you an example. I have a colleague who had a normal PSA but his doc also did a digital prostate exam and found an abnormality. The doc ordered a biopsy and the diagnosis was stage-3 prostate cancer. He has radical surgical, chemo, and radical radiological interventions and is doing well, but my point is don't be homophobic about having someone stick their finger up your fanny. It could literally save your life.

Not in a medical setting, but when I was (briefly) in jail, I was required to bend at the waist, spread my cheeks, and cough three times to ensure I was not hiding contraband.

Only twice, both times at the dentist's office.

I've had to lie down on either my side or my stomach, but the doctor or nurse has always done it themselves.

Yes. Almost fifty years ago, in a college infirmary, where I had gone due to hemorrhoids. My knees were on a rest on the end of an exam table and my torso flat on the surface of the table. The doctor told me to reach back with both hands and spread my cheeks. Then came the most excruciating pain I have ever experienced when he stuck a hypodermic needle into my anus. Thinking about it after all these years still makes me shudder. It was a bitch!

Never happened to me in a real medical setting.

My pediatrician would always have me laying on my back for the genital exam, with my briefs at my knees. Then, he would roll my legs back all the way, like he was changing a diaper, and with one hand keep me in position by holding the backs of my knees, and with the other hand would spread my cheeks all the way apart. He didn't do an internal exam though.

The only time I was asked to spread my cheeks was when I was 19 for military pre induction. All the guys were lined up and told to bend over and then to spread your cheeks. I had dozens of rectal exams since then and never been asked to spread my butt cheeks. I've had a DRE at least every year for the last 30 years and never been asked to spread 'em.

It happened to me for the first time last week.

I had stomach ache with pain and intestinal consquences. I was directed to a female doctor by my medical plan.

I arrived there on time bu had to wait one hour. One hour for only one patient in front of me, i was starting to stress on what was included in the visit.

I then entered and the medical interview went on for 30 minutes. Very detailed and professional. She then asked me to undress top to examine my stomach. I had tôopen trousers so she could examine comfortably. She asked if i had sometimes some pain in the anal region and when answering yes, i started to think of the consequences of my answer.

Lets check was of course her reaction.

I had to take out trousers and take the knee chest position.

She then brought my underwera down and asked to spread cheeks.

Couldn tcontrol my erection but i don t think she noticed.

I need to redo exam in one month...

I was in the USAF in the 1980's and had my indoctrination physical at the MEPS facility. My genitals were checked but I did not have to bend over and spread my cheeks.

I was asked to NOT spread my cheeks. My urologist told me to bend over the table for a prostate check and I did so and spread my cheeks. He said, "No, just relax and lay your hands on the table."

At an entrance physical at UC Santa Barbara I had to bend over and spread my cheeks. The doc was checking for hemorrhoids. I was embarrassed. In retrospect it was no big deal.

I had to. It was at a complete exam at my dermaologist. It was a surprise for me, but at the end no big Thing. He just checked anus for abnormalies.

Yes, I guess just to check the outside area.

I have not been asked to spread them on my own as a child, teen or adult. It's always been the nurse or doctor who did that for various reasons. When it's done, however, it usually means something is going to enter my rectum, especially if she has me pulse my anus.
