WTF just happened to me??

[Deleted]

Um, so I just had my annual gyn exam and the Dr stuck something up my butt out of nowhere. I've been going to this Dr for years and this had never happened.

Is this a normal part of these exams now? If so, I may just let my vagina rot off.

[LeggsBenedict]

lol.

I think the last time someone here was surprise examined the consensus was some doctors do, some don't. mine doesn't.

NOT NORMAL.

Is anyone else thinking of the episode of Friends where Joey is all "That's how they do pants!"

??

Sorry,I don't remember previous posts about it

I'm a little traumatized. I need warning fir that.

[game blouses]

I've had some that do and some that don't, but all the ones that do give me a warning first.

[miniroller]

Um, my annual is coming up in a couple wks. I'd NEVER heard of this until just recently when a friend asked me (after a couple glasses of wine) if I'd ever experienced this. She lives in a different part of the country, so I'd rationalized to myself it was an isolated incident in KS. Do you live in Kansas, perhaps??

I have never had a gynecologist NOT get booty friendly, and I am 38. I've had a lot of doctors.

I must just have a nice ass.

If I recall the many other posts about this, it will go like this:

"Yeah, some do that and some don't."
"MINE has never done that!"
"Is this a new thing?"
"Really, you guys have NEVER had this done? Weird."
"That OB should have obtained your permission first! MALPRACTICE."
"TRIGGER."

:Y:

Did you ask why he/she did it/was checking for?  Whenever this comes up, I am always so amazed that people get freaked out and then don't ask why their doctor did it.

This was posted by someone else recently, and i was HORRIFIED. I've never had a Dr. fondle my uh.. butt hole. Nope. I had to group text some friends to find out if this was normal.

[Deleted]

Lol at trigger. Maybe that's what the Dr put up there.

[juliagoulia]

The last time this was discussed I realized that I *think* I can remember him playing around with my butthole a little, but I couldn't swear either way under oath.

I have an appointment next month- I'll pay closer attention. I'm pretty sure mine does. And it's the part I mind least.

[coribelle26]

I have to ask nicely.

[Deleted]

Nope.

Never happened.

At the doctors office that is.

[studytime45]

I'm a little "whut" that you wouldn't expect the doctor to check all relevant areas down there. You can get warts and stuff* in your butt hole.

*original was "warts and shit" but it sounded too literal

I'm sorry, but NO orifice is sacred these days.

[Booze Raccoon]

I had my annual at the vaginacologist yesterday and she didn't include ass play.

[wambam]

I just asked my nurse friend. She says it's "not normal but within the scope of practice." My other friend works for a professor of gynecology and she confirmed this with her boss.

This happened at my first annual. I clenched so hard (it was a surprise), I thought I might snap the tip of the doctor's finger off. Not cool.

Since, I have opted out after speaking to my doctors over the years about whether or not it is necessary.

[demelza]

I think the previous thread was started by poor Jermys.  She was traumatized by an announced backdoor visit by the doc if I remember correct....

[pantsparty]

Yes, this happened to me. I was just forgetting about it, THANKS!

[snickers]

lol, I remember this discussion from last time.
I have never had that done until my GBS test in the hospital.

[SusanBAnthony]

Mine says "and now I'll do an anal whatever whatever" in just a completely normal voice as part of her long monologue of crotchal region fun times, but the thing is, she dives in at the word "do" so I am surprised every time.

I feel like this is something I would remember! ; )

Yep, it is new. I have went to two different dr's and they both did it. I hate it. This is a quote from a dr online:

"Yes, this is a NORMAL part of a complete gyn exam, as we were taught in medical school. Part of the reason it's done is that there's a very thin wall of tissue between the rectum and the vagina. Doing a bimanual exam, with a gloved finger in the rectum and one in the vagina you can actually feel if there's a mass in that wall of tissue. This has saved lives. Not to mention the exam for occult fecal blood, which is a screen for colorectal cancer."

This all makes sense. I still want to puke thinking about my next annual.

[dirtyred]

My reproductive organs were all cattywompus in there, so I always had the rectal exam. It allows them to better feel/determine position if things are a little different.

I'm sure that the fact that I can't kind of says something about me.

[Jermys]

That was me...it was unannounced and the only time ever. I now ask every time I go to a new Dr. I prefer someone ask before they cram their digits in my bung, ya know?

[picaflora]

Crap - I forgot all about this, and I'm going to a new gyn next month. Previous Dr didn't do it, no idea about the new one. I'm seriously thinking about driving the hour to go back to my old one.

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

Yes but it hasn't happened in a long time. The time it happened they couldn't feel my uterus properly. I was warned though.

[polarbearfans]

I've had 3 different doctors and never has this happened. I would probably kick out and knock all his teeth out if I was surprised like that lol
