Female rectal exam

As a member of a London hospital women's group for sex workers, about every 2 to 3 months I had to have a rectal exam and swabs taken.

Every time I had it done I was just lying on my side

As with other females here I've only been in the stirrups or on my side for one.

Same here, only that I was also in knee-chest position for rectoscope exams few time.

Normally like most on my side. I have had a few bent over a table but that was because the doctor was a friend and we both wanted to develop things.

My question is can the doctor also see her vagina when giving a rectal exam on her side as they open her cheeks if she is normal proportions? Did a few in training, but so focused on actual issues never noticed.

Wow, what does “we both wanted to develop things” mean? Interesting!

@Microscope can you please tell me if she was laying on the GP table?

Was she on her back?

Normally like most on my side. I have had a few bent over a table but that was because the doctor was a friend and we both wanted to develop things.

Most of time on my side, for some reasons doctor prefers on my left side. Only once so far I was on all fours. Never been bend over, I guess this position is mainly for guys when they get prostate/rectal exams. Not saying I would not want to try it!

I've mentioned before about being examined on my side or back or in stirrups. I think I read somewhere the reason doctors examine males standing up bent over is because it's the easiest way to access the prostate but us girls don't have them so most anal/rectal exams happen lying down in some way

Thanks @asha22 I had this question that why there's a difference in positions. I am happy I was examined lying down (only happy about the position, exam is scary horrible)

I remember searching internet how a female is examined the night before I had my first exam about two months back I really had no information. No "what to expect" from mom either. One I was embarrassed talking about it, two i felt she doesn't have the information.
