Are Men examined in stirrups?

Most of my visits for prostate checkup involve bending over the table but a urological exam can take place in the stirrups. I was examined that way when I was a teenager because I was thought to have a bladder problem. Turns out I didn't but I have had many play exams in that position. If I really have to have that exam again I hope I don't get aroused, during a regular rectal exam you can usually hide it because your have your back to the doctor.

Yes, as another poster stated, it happens if you are having a cystoscopy performed. The position did not bother me but the procedure was very uncomfortable.

Hasn't been done to me

Someday.... 😳

I recently examined my favorite "patient" while he was displayed (or is that splayed?) in the leg slings we rigged up. I was wonderful for both of us; such access, such exposure. Yeah, we'll definitely be doing that again!

Play On!

I've never been in stirrups. My genital exams are done standing up or laying on my back, and any rectal exams are done knee/chest

When I went to urologist I've been examined laying down on the table but never in stirrups. But a few years ago my friend told me he was examined in stirrups by a female doc. He hated it, but some of us here would enjoy it, I know I would. 😃

Justk, I have a female urologist (quite attractive and Iranian, of all things) who examines me sometimes in stirrups. I almost always get an erection when she does that, which I rather enjoy although I try to act a bit embarrassed. She is very matter-of-fact about it. Overall, she is a very good urologist, very communicative, and nurturing as well, so I am quite satisfied with her.

Attractive Iranian (I find these woman quite beautiful 😃 ) sounds...well ..could you give me her number? 😄

On most of my prostate annual check-ups I was request to bend forward with elbows on a table. Once it was different, I was told to lay on my back with legs in stirrups - lithotomy position - while having TRUSP (transrectal prostate ultrsound). I was given a gown and told to change. As I wanted to feel comfortable, I put on warm knee-high socks. Then I was placed on my back on the table edge, the legs were flexed in the hip and abducted. My knees were bent and calves supported on padded leg shells. A nurse lubricated my anus and inserted condom gloved ultrasound probe. I had a strange feeling of being full mixed with a slight pain, which subsided quickly. The exam lasted ca. 15 minutes and the results were OK for me. My penis was semi hard and leaking pre-seminal fluid for the most of procedure, but it was not commented by any person involved. Upon leaving, the nurse told me it was normal and seen in majority of patients. The lithotomy position in neither humiliating nor embarrassing for a male patient. Contrary, I think it is convenient for the doctor and quite comfortable for the patient. Actually, it is a must in urological surgeries. By the way, I have now realized, why my wife takes always comfy socks going to agyno, even if the day is hot, and she wears only sandals or flip-flops.

I've never been examined in stirrups. Any rectal exam was done in the knee chest position, while I was laying on my left side.

I have never been examined in the stirrups...... in real life that is. It has either been laying on my left side with my knee brought up towards my chest...... or standing with my knees slightly bent and bent over the exam table. I find that laying on my side is more comfortable however it feels more sexual and erotic when I'm standing and bent over the exam table.

As far as play exams go, I have been examined with my feet in the stirrups and the feeling is amazing. I love wearing a gown and having my feet in the stirrups with my legs spread far apart. I love the feeling of the finger being inserted and getting my prostate massaged. My play doctor was very gentle but knew what buttons to push. After about 5 minutes of massaging my prostate, I came, and boy did I ever. Whenever I cum, I normally squirt a foot or two, but this orgasm was different. I literally shot about 4 to 5 feet in the air...... both her and I were amazed. Once I was done, I passed out on her exam table for a bit. Once I woke up, my butt was mildly sore yet I felt so relaxed.

Never has happened to me but sounds very interesting!

I believe its really not necessary from a medical point of view, unfortunately for most of us here. 😃

To @ladydocisin I had my testicles ultrasounded with my legs up in leg stirrups stripped. I had a very hard erection. when the female radiologist went to the rectal ultrasound, i exploded. embarassing, yes, but i would definitely want that agaIn! Too bad there`s no female on Long Island, NY who would examine a 59 yr old.

I was once, when my female physician and her assistant removed a perianal skin tag about 20 years ago. I had a gown on but was otherwise nude--and turned on. I did not have an erection but was wet at the tip of my penis. The doctor said "now you know how we women feel." Naturally I did not tell her that I was turned on but I suspect she knew I was. Hot stuff for me!

I have never had to be in the stirrups, but could be interesting.

Even for tests and surgery on my nuts I was never on a table with stirrups.

A work colleague of mine had a vasectomy about a year ago. He said he was placed in stirrups for it and for him was one of the worst parts. He had a local anesthectic so was aware of all the handling throughout

No I’ve never been in stirrups but in reality it seems practical if that area needs to be examined. I’d have no objection.

I was about to say 'No, not ever' and then thought back to getting my vasectomy done 12 yrs ago. It really is the only position to be in for that surgery, so I guess I was in stirrups once.

Although the OP asked about an examination, so my answer is NO on that - all pre and post op exams never had stirrups involved. Even an unrelated ultrasound didn't use them, and I can't imagine a need for a stirrups to be used on a male save for the above. A prostate check is done either on your side, or bending over the exam table. Doctors don't need all your 'stuff' right in their face.

Yes, when I had my vasectomy I was put in stirrups. It was quite the experience since I did not expect it, basically naked from the waist down spread eagle, the stirrups were the knee support ones. My wife was with me and she said "you finally get to see what it feels like for us".

I’ve just realised after reading another posting here that I was put into stirrups to have a cystoscopy prior to being given sedation.

I was having a thorough investigation for suspected bladder cancer.

Strange how memories come back

No ... my vasectomy was just lying on a table ... haven't had prostate exam yet.

No. I get a cystoscopy every 6 months, a colonoscopy every 3 years and never had stirrups. During radiation for colon cancer, the oncologist did a DRE every other day to check on the thickness of the rectal walls and these were always done in Simm's Position.

All DRE's for prostate exams have been bent over an exam table. My vasectomy was laying on a table, surrounded by male Med. Students, discussing pro=football teams.

I had a stent removed one time after having a kidney stone removed. I had something important to do that evening and tried to reschedule my appointment. Dr said it would only take 5 minutes and not be a problem. I went to the appointment. The nurse shot some numbing lube up my penis and put a clamp on it to keep the lube in. Dr came in and ran the scope up me. At some point (probably going through the prostate) there was intense pain. He got the stent out and I started bleeding out my penis. He put the scope back in to look but did not see anything. I think I was laying flat on my back and not in stirrups, but after all of that I don't really recall. I was in severe pain when ever I urinated and bled out of my penis for 3 days. I bad mouthed that money grubbing lying SOB to everyone that would listen. It also came out in the paper that he (a foreigner) was happy that the WTC was destroyed. He denied the claim that he had not told that to anyone. I would discuss the article with anyone and tell them how he had lied to me and that I was sure that he was lying about his comment too. I think they ran him out of town for several months over his comment about the WTC.

The answer is yes. I know. I had a cystoscopy years ago, and found myself in that awkward circumstance. That was nothing compared to the procedure and what followed afterwards.

Yes they can as monurol1 stated. Please call me like you did on the app that is on your other computer.

I had a very small cyst that was removed in my doctors office During my physical, I told the doctor I had a very small,lump, size of a partially used pencil eraser, where my leg meets my torso next to my penis. She felt it while I was lying down. She asked if I had some extra time on that day so she can remove it. I said yes. She left the exam room and said she would be back. A minute later, the older, regular nurse came into the room and asked me if I minded if a nursing student observed, I said she can come in. They told me to slide forward on the exam table then she pulled out the stirrups. She then explained to the student that rarely are stirrups used on a male patient but I had a cyst for removal. She asked where exactly it was and asked me to show her. She put my legs on the stirrups, which cased my gown to fall open and the young nurse was told to raise the gown onto my stomach. I proceeded to show her where the cyst was. I was now on full display. The doctor came in. She had the young nurse hold my penis and testicules to the right and they put a drape over it. They then did the procedure, numbing that area which was extremely painful. I had tears since they stuck me about 4 times right along the last side base of my penis and scrotum. About ten minutes later I was advised I can get dressed.

I’ve been examined in stirrups once for a urodynamic test. It was to say the least interesting, to sit reclined and completely spread eagle as the doctor sat looking at the computer screen while his (pretty) nurse sat on a stool between my legs prepared to remove the catheter and rectal probe.
