Prostate Exam Positions

Nowadays I have the whole of my genital check done while I'm standing up, but when I was at school I would be lying down and they would roll the waistband of my boxers down and have a feel around of my stuff and then when they'd finished they'd get me to hop off the table and pull my boxers down for the hernia check.

Standing with the dt on a stool, standing with the dr kneeling and laying down. i've never been on all 4s but would like that.

I've never had a genital exam laying down. All of mine have been with the doctor sitting on a stool in front of me except for once. That one time during my last pre-employment exam the doctor stood up and simply leaned over and felt my testicles and had me cough. As for my prostate exams, I've only had one...That time the 'doc' knelt down on the floor and quickly did his check.

I recall in many of the video I've seen online (before the website was shut down) the patients stood up and leaned over the table. The doctor had them place one leg on each side of the stool at the bottom of the table. That's an awfully wide spread if you ask me. 😃

I'm usually standing, although once in frog position and once on side...

Geoff - Are you a pro athlete? What are you physicals like for sports?

Has always been on my right side....

God Its good ha ha

I have been on my side in some and once bending over the table.

I had forgotten about this exam I had. If it interests anyone..good.

I went to this clinic..(can't remember why)(( first time))

I had had rectal exams before.Wasn't expecting one. One thing led to another..then I was asked to lay down.(I was on my back) One thing led to another.I had a pair of track pants on. The doc said..can I pull these down for a sec? Sure..I lifted up a bit..he pulled them down. Did a genital exam. Pants down past my knees..doc asked me if I could slide down a bit. The exam table was a bit longer and wider than I knew of.Down I slid. From the angle I had seen the table from..I did not see that there was a rise..like a bolster..in the table. Like a ramp.It was not as wide as the table. I soon realized that this bolster raised my hips/bum up..and the rest of the table down there looked a bit lower. I slid down..kept sliding down..as he watched..as my hips/bum went higher. I guess this raised my hips/bum about 7-8". then the bolster dropped away. I was getting near the end of the table and had to bend my knees to keep my feet on the table. I figured as much that he wanted my hips/bum right at the edge of this bolster so they stuck out a bit over it. Leaving me fullly exposed.SOoo I just kept sliding down.I stopped when my hips/bum were on the very edge of this bolster.My knees were pretty bent. He put on gloves and reached down with both hands to spread my cheeks. My thighs were in the way a bit..so I figured I would spread my legs..before he did it or asked me to.He looked at my hole..then got the lubricant..spread me again with both hands..and sort of held me open wide with one hand/fingers while he brought the tube of lubricant towards my hole. I felt the lubricant go on my hole..then he put the tube down..and slid his finger in me. Exam was no different than any other.I have never heard or seen this position before. it did remind me of a girlfriend who used to put a pillow under my hips,push my knees right back,lube me up,use her fingers and her dildo while she sucked me..

For my recent one, Doc had me lie on my side with knees drawn up. One of my favorite positions.

Standing up bending over the exam table yesterday.

It's always been the sims position for me.

Bent over the table with legs apart is how mine were done. I have had rectal exams where you just lie on the table on your side as well.

Any position I love having one

Prostate exams have always been bending over with pants down. Usually resting my arms on the exam table but a few times the examiner has had me rest them on a chair. This position really exposes your ass and balls and is my favorite, especially when a female is doing the exam. I've had rectal exams for other than prostate issues on the exam table while turned on my side and I suppose while the finger is in there they might do a quick prostate check.

I enjoying seeing the female doctor putting on the glove and taking some KY jelly. Sometimes she has told me when she has her finger into me, to push againt her finger.

I m in my underwear until it's time for the genital and prostate exam. At that point my doctor asks me to remove my underwear for just a few minutes. I am naked for the genital exam. I then have to lean over the exam table for the prostate exam.

I had my first prostate exam at the early age of 27 or 28, as I had a kidney stone and my family doctor referred me to a Urologist. He was a middle aged male DR. The typical vitals and urine specimen were taken. I was told to put on a gown and sit on the table. He asked many questions about my health and diet and then sitting in the gown open to the back he palpated the kidneys, I was then told to lay back as the table was extended to accommodate my lower legs and feet. He lifted the gown and said let me briefs drop to the floor ( which is what I wore in those days). He did the most thorough exam of my genitalia that I ever experienced which included palpated of the penis. The most unexpected and worst part of the exam was about to come next when he told me to spread my legs apart a little and pull my knees toward my stomach. He inserted a finger to examine the prostate, laying totally exposed with my genitalia in full view. The exam was over but he was speaking with me about my prostate and about getting a scan of my kidneys at the Radiologist in the building as I lay completely exposed with my shorts on the floor. I didn't get my next prostate exam until I was in my mid forties and my Primacy Care Dr did them with me lying on my side which I found much less exposed. I changed PCP a few years later and my new PCP, an older Dr told me at my first physical with him to remove my shorts so he could examine me for hernia. ( my shirt was still off for the first part of the exam) I was now totally nude as I stood in front of him as he conducted the exam. He then said to get back on the exam table and get on all fours in the knee /chest position to examine the prostate. That was a first. Although I felt totally exposed, the exam was thorough. I've read that some Docs do it this way so that they can get a back view of the scrotum and better view of the anus for hemorrhoids or other issues. He has now retired and I am wondering how my new PCP will conduct the exam later this year.

My doctor does my genital exam while I'm standing but then he has me get on the exam table in the sims position for my rectal exam.

Im always on all fours

Im always on all fours

How could you have a prostate exam? Your profile indicates you're female!

@ Rockdoc. How could you have a prostate exam? Your profile indicates you're female!

Touche! Rockdoc Touche!! 😁 That was a good catch!

But in her / his defense; maybe he thinks, he's a she.

This place does cater to all types!

You should have read the personal message I got from Duckbill the other day; I think my reply will keep him away for another six months!!! God I hope so! I can only imagine what he must write the women here.

Oh, and to answer the original question --- bent over the table.

It would appear that Toxbox has now changed names and sex!

Just to pipe up on the gender issue. I've had relationships with transgender women. Prostate stimulation could be accomplished either vaginally or rectally.

They were 100% women with a vestigial prostate. While it had shrunk due to hormones, the nerves were intact.

When i have had that exam done i normally have been asked to roll onto my side and knees up...guessing so the doc can examine my prostate easier

Most exams of the prostate have been in the sims position. A few were drop your pants and underware and lean over the table. One female Doc had me laying on my stomach on the bed and she tried but could not get a deep insertion, so she told me to roll over and pull my legs back and apart. Her finger went right in and she found scar tissue where my prostate had been. It had been removed because of cancer some years before.. The surgery had been done laproscopic and there were very small scars. After I explained to her she asked if she could do the exam again. It did not hurt so go ahead. Maybe next time she will read deeper into the chart.

Sim's position seems to be the most common in the UK.

I find knee-chest the easiest when examining

I have always had the sims position.

Usually bent over, elbows on the table, legs spread apart. Have been on all fours a few times, which is my favorite. Just wish it would last a little longer.

Most of the time it's bent over the exam table with my elbows on the table. I had one where i was on my side with one leg pulled up.
