Tightening of Pelvic Muscle With Finger Inside Vagina

Does a doctor usually ask a patient to tighten her pelvic muscles while his/her finger is inside the vagina as part of exam? I've heard you can ask the doctor to exam to see how tight the vagina is, especially for someone after giving birth. Just wondering if this kind of exam is indeed perfomed, then is it done as a part of bi-manual exam or a separate exam? How many times will you have to tighten the muscle? Does the doctor move the finger around as you tighten it?

I do it in all play exams when gynecological part is done, I use one finger only and ask to tight, finger is kept still feeling

It also feels very nice with your finger in the rectum..and you ask them to squeeze your finger...naturally to check muscle tone.

Using finger can be use to tighten the pelvic floor muscles by doing keagals exercise

I've never been asked to do this at any of my exams. Although my exams have been routine checkups mainly, so I'm guessing there was no need for them to do this part.

My wife has not been asked.

I have been asked to do this as part of exams

It should be done standard procedure in females over 40, reaching peri menopause. I helps to diagnosed possible muscle atrophy and weakening of the broad ligament. the pt might be given instructions to use exercises to help prevent these issues

My Ob.Gyn did ask me that, but it was a post natal exam and he had been so specific about me doing the keggel exercises! So I asked him if he just wanted a squise his finger or push his finger out! Lol the poor man's face!

I'm much more respectful with my Master!..

I have been asked to do this from my very first pelvic exam. One doctor asked me to tighten up when he had one finger in vagina and one finger in my butt.

I am happy to perform this exam on a patient wanting a thorough check of this function. :-)

I've never been asked to do this in a real exam.

Never been asked to do this, but it sounds really strange and arousing.

My wife's GYN always asks her to squeeze down on her finnger as part of the exam.

Yes after i had my birth .the doctor told me to try and tighten the pelvic muscles and then inserted a finger in my anus and asked the same to see if i had any rectocele or anything.

My wife gave birth in November and was having some pain during sex. So she made an appointment and I went with her. After the pelvic examination the doctor asked if she was doing kegel exercises. My wife admitted she wasn't really doing them and wasn't sure how to do them. So the doctor placed her finger inside of my wife and had her practice squeezing her finger. I was sitting to the side and couldn't see anything but it was still pretty hot to think about.

I am not sure if my wife has ever been ask to do that in any of her real exams...but I have ask her to do it in a play exam.

About my third experience in the stirrups my doctor told me to tighten up wile he had two fingers in my vagina. I did as he asked. I have to do that now on every visit.

Here in the UK it doesn't happen as part of a regular smear test but if she is referred for weak PC muscles they do check by inserting their fingers and asking the patient to squeeze her muscles.

At 37, I've never been asked to do that, but I've never had children. The doctor has to try various speculums to open me up so I don't think I foresee haven't that problem any time soon.

I always ask my patients to do this in a play exam, I don't belie that it's a standard part of the pelvic exam in the UK, expect at the six week post natal exam

I will place two fingers a little way into the vagina and open them slightly. and the ask her to bear down or tighten her pelvic floor muscles and see if she can push my fingers back together, it's surprising how many younger patients don't know what their pelvic floor muscles are, in this case I would explain and get them, to try some exercises whilst I keep my fingers inside to check they are doing them correctly - which is nice

Yes I've had this. They do it to test your muscle tone.

I've only had a couple doctors insert his finger in my vagina and then ask me to bear down. It was while he had me in the stirrups, once he had me in place and was between my legs and had thoroughly examined my external vagina, it was then that he inserted his long middle finger and ask me to bear down.

I have never been asked to do that in an exam, but sometimes my husband will say "give me a squeeze, baby," while his penis is inside me.

I've never been asked to do that in a real exam, but I like to do it during play exams. I suspect that it's something most docs only do in real exams only if there's a specific reason to check for muscle tone or any other concerns.

I've been asked to do this at every exam and always just assumed it was normay process.

I can see a legitimate reason why a Dr would have to check the tone of the vaginal muscles, especially on older woman who has kids or incontinence issues, but no so much for a younger woman unless it's just to check for any preexisting issues.

Although I'm not a gyn, I've done thousands of pelvics. I have never asked any patient to clench my finger. I have asked them to valsalva (push down) when looking for a cystocoel or rectocoel or for testing for stress incontinence. I did have a patient ask me one time is her pussy was tight enough. I didn't know what to say so I said "of course". (Sad to say I think some women are worried about how tight their vagina is as men are about their penile size. Is this true? I'd appreciate some replies.)

When my ex boyfriend used to do play exams on me he would ask me to tighten around his fingers and he would also stick his penis inside of me and ask me to tighten up around it, it felt really good and would make him cum

A few years ago a gynecologist was giving me an exam and when he stuck his fingers in me for the pelvic exam I tightened up around his fingers (on purpose lol) to see what his reaction would be and he told me to relax and I told him "I'm sorry doc but my vagina just wanted to say hello to your fingers" he looked pretty shocked at first but started laughing

Here in UK it is mainly just smear tests so no tightening required though sometimes we are asked to cough when the speculum is in as the nurse tries to see the cervix though I have only had to do that once and have yet to have to put fists under bum or other such contortions so the nurse can find the cervix which I have read about other women having to do. For the 3 internal exams I have had only the latest one at BUPA involved being asked to tighten muscles and as I am over 40 that may become the norm for any future internals. The Dr asked me to squeeze her finger when it was in my vagina and she said my muscle tone was very good. I found it more embarrassing when she asked me to tighten my muscles around her finger during the rectal part of the exam, she asked me to do it twice so suspect I may not have done it very well 1st time but she seemed happen second time and said it was fine before asking me to relax again so she could continue with the exam.
