I have been for one exam but to be honest my mind was all over the place and I am not sure if he touched my clit or not? What exactly would he / she look for? Also can I ask next time for it to be examined?

My gyne usually does retract my hood and inspect my clitorus. Only a few times has he touched it other than just openning me up for the inside part

One organ not to be missed surely? I mean it is as important as any other part of the reproductive system?

My gyno always examines my clit [owww]. My clit is very sensitive and when he pulls the hood back to see it, he touches it real quick.

My gyn pulls the hood back on my clit to examine it during my yearly, that's about it. During a play exam, I usually have a full clitoral exam ;)

Very interesting about clit-hood retractors *goes to look them up*. And the play exam with the Q-tip? I'd like to sign up for an appointment, please. ;D

Different gyn's I've been to have examined my clit, but it's just a visual check during the external exam. The doctor pulls back the hood as he separates the labia and works his way down my vulva.

At no time are doctors taught that touching the clit "is a no-no". It should be visually inspected as part of a normal GYN exam.

Doc

When I once had a plugged oil gland removed with a scalpel and then the skin stitched (what a major ouch that was!), the female GYN did touch and examine my clit with a gauze pad in order to be sure that she had removed everything. So, in a legitimate medical setting, it does happen.

However, during routine well woman checks, it should never happen. Great comment, Woodpecker!

But should it be a no-no? I remember reading an earlier thread on this board where valid medical reasons were given for including palpation of the clitoris in a gynecological workup as well as simple visual inspection. If there is a reason why doctors do not normally touch it, it must surely be legal rather than medical.

A wonderful play Doc once gave me a clitoral exam where he retracted my hood using a clitoral hood retractor (CHR). It was suggested from another board member that one could be made from a slotted spoon handle.

It worked great. While the hood was retracted, the Doc massaged my clit using a moist Q-Tip and I had one of the best O's of my life.

Lady Teddy, always looking for new ideas

There is a real surgical retractor that is used for this purpose by plastic surgeons doing hood reduction surgery. It is usually used as an internal retractor and I am too lazy to spend a large amount of time hunting for the name which will be of no value to almost everyone here. I use a towel clamp or a large pennington forep loosely clamped with a small rubber band for clit hood retraction.

I have heard of an instrument called a clitoral hood retractor is this a real instrument and has anyone ever seen one or had one used on them?

What in the world!? Lucky lucky girl to have that done! That's it! Next physical my gyne gives me I'm gonna remind him that my clitty needs to be checked out :D

my doctor has briefly touched but mainly visual examination

i have not heard of a clit exam except for a play exam ..

would you think you was lucky to have this expirience ??

. but it sure sounds fun .

real MD's are taught not to touch the clitoris. this is a major no-no.

I've had my clit examined in my early 20's. He pulled back the hood with one hand and then felt it between his thumb and forefinger with the other hand. I know this because he had a light set up and a mirror and he wanted me to look. I am serious as a heart attack. Does that sound unnecessary?

It's standard at my dr. I've used the same doctor for years. He always does a full exam, pulls back the hood of my clit, and usually touches it. I mean, he doesn't linger there or anything, but he always "feels around".

I didn't think it was standard to check the clit as it makes the exam too sexual for many. It does make sense to check piercings etc I suppose.

Hmmm... I dont know if I really wanted this... mine was checked a few times but before I realized is was over..

My wife told me that she had it examined one time, she had thought that it was border line with the doctor's exam. When he did it she said she jumped because she is so sensitive.....(we had a great sex that night)

Sorry http://index.php?action=profile;u=49186 , I didn't intent to redirect the characteristics of this area!

I hope this thread doesn't degenerate into fantasy posts. There are lots of threads for that. The original post was "clitoral examination during a REAL exam".

Personally I have never had a doctor go very near mine except for the very first exam I ever had. It is not a part of my annual pelvic and that's probably a very good thing, as thrilling as it would be.

As a Play Doctor I would want to conduct a very through examination of my patients clitoris and the clitoris hood. There needs to be enough stimulation to cause the clitoris to become erect bringing the patient close to orgasm. How else are you going to determine if this lady has the necessary sensitivities to achieve a satisfactory orgasm? You are doing her and her sex partner a great service. ;)

The most recent doctor I used for my exam did examine my clit. This was a first for me. Like what many of you have stated, the doctor did not intentionally stimulate my clit (although it did get me excited), he just gently touched and looked at it. All of the various doctors I have been to over the years have always made it a routine part of the the exam process to ask me about my sexual history, including things like the frequency of my sexual activity, the number of partners I have, if I have had an physical issues or unusual pain, etc.

I believe that most doctors visually inspect the clitoris during the general exam of the vulva. I can feel the hood being lifted slightly as my real doc does his exam.

I've had my clitoris examined twice. First time was by a female doctor and the second was by my regular doctor during my yearly exam back in April. He's done my physicals for almost 15 years and that was the first time he'd ever looked through my genitals with his fingers. He did pull back the hood and visually inspect it, but he did not touch it. I hope he does the same thing next year too.

Usually my doctor does a cursory exam of my clit but never long enough or intense enough in my opinion. I assume that they are afraid of some sort of sexual harrasement lawsuit, LOL. Just how does one suggest a more stimulating exam to your real doctor without going red all over?

Kimberly seems to have an excellent doctor. He seems not to assume anything, asks questions, and, and I hope explains everything to her satisfaction. I wouldn't send her home without being sure she could achieve multiple orgasms.
