Spreading your butt cheeks in a medical setting

Never had to undergo that.... Yet

Thank your lucky stars. It wasn't fun,took time to heal and was somewhat embarrassing although it was better than suffering.

So far I have just had the external ones, but when they're thrombosed it isn't too comfortable, and makes the two and a half to three weeks or so seem to go on and on.

Thinking about it I think we're talking about the same things. I might have to try that next time I get them.

No never. On the few occasions it has been necessary the healthcare provider has been the one to do the spreading lol

I was asked to spread my butt cheeks at the dermatologist once. I had been taking antibiotics for cystic acne and as a result I developed a candidiasis (yeast) infection.

The morning of, I had taken a shower and when the hot water hit me, it started burning around my anus so I knew something was wrong. I called my dermatologist and they saw me that morning. The nurse gave me a sheet to drape over my lap and asked me to remove everything below the waist and she left the room. The dermatologist came in and asked me to stand and bend over while spreading my cheeks. Doing so made holding the sheet difficult and I kinda thought even giving it to me was pointless. He said it was a common fungal infection and nothing serious. He then wrote me a prescription for an ointment and everything got better from there!

Only once and it was for the hernia check for military service, there mush have been 30 guys in bent over cheeks spread with a doc walking down the line checking us out.

The only time this happened to me was at my pre-college physical. The doctor had me bend over with my hands on my knees and spread them himself.

Never, for my yearly physicals my PCP has always spread them. My dermatologists have never looked close enough as the have just peaked by pulling out the back of my underwear each year.

I had never been asked to do this before until last month. I was having a pre -op medical assessment which (thanks to NHS admin bungling) had to be done in a hurry. Towards the end of my exam, the nurse indicated that she needed to take some swabs (to eliminate MRSA) from 'intimate areas'. The first was from the anus. I had bent over a small table (I was naked because no gowns were available & I had agreed to strip down to my briefs...now I had to take those off) and the nurse asked me if I would pull my buttocks apart while she did the swab. The last two swabs were from the groin and the tip of my penis (I had to retract my foreskin in front of the nurse, standing nude in front of her). My wife, meanwhile, was listening to the instructions on the other side of a small screen....but she was only sitting 2 feet away,

My new urologist is a bit old-fashioned--he has me turn around and bend over.

I don't spread the cheeks, he does.

One of my earliest pediatrician exams.. was for a physical... doctor has my shirt off.. i'm wearing umbro shorts and boxers. he has me stand up and he pulls my pants down to check my testicles. i get a raging boner in about 1/2 a second, he checks that then asked me to turn around and pull my cheeks open. he looks back there and then i feel his hand basically slide down my crack. he tells me to turn around and then has me get dressed.

No, the doctor always does it.

The doctor has always. But I am one that from my jobs like to try to help. Make their life easier

I don’t think I’ve ever been asked too, I think usually the doctor does if they need to be able to see better.

Actually yes! Once a doctor at school was taking a sample from my anus for an STI screening, and I had the feeling that he was fumbling with his materials while also holding my cheeks apart, so I said, "Hey, do you want me to..." and I started to reach back, and he said "Oh, yes, I know this is a little awkward, but if you don't mind holding yourself open for me." I spread my cheeks wide apart with both hands and he said, "Oh, great! That's wonderful!" I never heard him sound happier than in that moment, lol! I was on my knees on the table and he was behind me.

No I never have been asked

I think if it would be necessary, my doctor would do it personally but it was not till now.

Every so often, I get asked to bend over and spread my cheeks for a quick visual exam. Doesnt happen all the time. I'll say less than half the time.

Actually, this happened to me a couple of years ago. I was thought to have hemorrhoids or possibly polyps. Anyway, I didn't have any decent insurance and had to go to a free clinic. It was run terribly (at least that day) and I waited for hours. When I finally got admitted I was told to lay on the table with my pants down and on my side. The doctor came in and had a resident with him. It turns out I had a skin tag, not any type of real problem. But the weird thing was the doctor teaching the student. They kind laughed off my problem. Then, the doc was telling the student about how the sphincter works. With my cheeks pretty far apart, he asked me to cough. I did. He asked again. Then I heard him tell the student "see, watch how the muscle pushes out when he coughs." He asked a third time and I did it. Then they left, kind of chuckling. I am not sure how I felt about it, but I didn't really mind. I guess that's the exhibitionist in me.

As a nurse I perform a test when I need to collect specimen for testing of presence of worms. It is done like this, patient enters exam room, drops their jeans/ or lifts up dress and then lowers underwear/spread their butt cheeks and finally slightly bends over exam table, then I take a small stick and gently touch their anus with it and insert it in for few centimeter, then remove it and place into container for lab analysis.

No, but I think it should always be included in a play exam and as a separate item from a rectal exam. So you would just be told the dr is going to do a visual inspection and to bend over and spread your cheeks apart. The doctor can just spend a long time looking at you and your most private areas in this embarrassing, vulnerable and exposed position. Leaving you to just wait there feeling totally open feeling the air move across your exposed genitalia and anus wondering at any given time what intimate parts of you are being studied and how closely is the dr looking.

@ladydre74 I assume this was mainly children? Do adults get anal worms?

I did ask my patients a lot of times. One of my favourite was when I asked her. To keep them open for a rectal injection.

Due to having two months of constipation and one month of anal pain when sitting in front of a computer at work, I scheduled an examination with a doctor who specialized in treatment of hemorrhoids using non surgical procedures. When I arrived at the clinic, a young and busty nurse in light green scrubs thanked me for filling out a health history which I had downloaded at the clinic website for the doctor to read. She took me into a room with an examination table in the middle of the room and a stool on the floor at the end of the table. She instructed me to take off all of my clothes except for my white t shirt and socks, and then to get on the end of exam table on my knees with my bottom facing the stool. I was feeling self conscious when a muscular doctor of middle age came into the room, sat down on the stool, and began to review my health history and explain how he was going to use a metal anal speculum to open up my anus so that he could examine me for hemorrhoids. I felt surprised when the nurse walked into the room, stood behind the exam table, and then spread my bottom cheeks apart and held them open for the doctor who was slowly inserting the metal speculum into my anus which caused a stinging sensation. I felt surprised in that I began to enjoy the stinging sensation and the tight feeling of the metal speculum in my anus. I felt embarrassed because I knew that the nurse had seen my long circumcised penis and low hanging testicles hanging downward and had a clear view of the thick mat of blonde hair that filled the crack of my ass and spread outward on my plump bottom cheeks. After an examination of my anus, the doctor informed me that I had three large bulging hemorrhoids that he could tie off with a sterile thread so that they would shrink over time and no longer cause any pain. I agreed to his use of the sterile thread procedure, and he took quite a bit of time in carrying out the procedure. The nurse firmly held my bare bottom with both hands so that my ass cheeks were spread wide open. I began to have submissive feelings because I started to have memories of nurses during my teenage years who had held my bare bottom cheek with one hand while using their other hand to either insert a thermometer into my anus or gave me an injection with a big needle that caused pain. I am curious as to what experiences others have had in spreading your ass cheeks for a doctor or nurse. Feel free to message me if you would like to discuss medical experiences.

I have been asked to spread my own cheeks a number of times, primarily for prostate check, but also for a very painful experimental shot into my prostate through my anus (to reduce an enlarged prostate). In this latter experience I was lying on my left side and the nurse asked me to spread my right cheek so she could first lubricate me internally. Then she slid a large anal speculum into me for preliminary examination. I had to return a week later for the shot with a similar experience. I had to be given several soapsuds enemas at home to clean my intestine , pretty much by myself, then another enema in the doctor's office, this time just a fleet enema. The nurse this time had me in a knee-chest position on top of the examination table. Again she asked me to spread my cheeks although this time with both hands while she first internally lubricated me, then introduced the large anal speculum into me in preparation for the shot. In a few minutes the doctor entered and introduced a huge needle into my anus, very painfully penetrated the rectal wall and into the prostate to inject the experimental liquid. Quite the experience! BTW in retrospect I should have had a proper colonic by a professional instead of the enemas to do the job right.

Only once during a prostate ultrasound. I was laying on the side and the nurse asked me to « hold » the upper cheek while she inserted the probe.

I always spread 'butt cheeks' in an examination -not as an essential for the procedure but to enhance my total control over the patients personal and private space.

Yes, when I was around 12 I had some rashes around anal area and the doc stretched my butt cheeks to see. I felt airy in my poop hole.

Yes, my doctor had asked me on several different occasions to reach back and spread my cheeks open for him.

About a year ago I was having some issues with a perianal abscess/cyst, at the time I was spending at least 3 and usually 5 days a week riding my bicycle for 2-4 hours a day. Needless to say, this condition was uncomfortable so I made an appointment to see my primary care physician. My primary was unavailable so I decided to be seen by the PA in the group who is a very young, beautiful woman; fortunately, she is very personable and still very professional and I do feel very comfortable seeing her. Of course she needed to see the offending lesion and that required me to drop my pants, bend over and spread them. If I haden't felt so comfortable with her it would have been an awkward experience.

In short we decided on a course of action and the lesion healed without further intervention.
