Gynecology visit

Hi Ladies:

I am curious to hear about how it feels to have a doctor do a breast and vaginal exam. I would like to hear in words from start to finish the sensations. How do your nipples feel while being examined? How about the lips of the vagina, the clitoris, the urethral opening and the vaginal opening. Do your ovaries have sensations while being palpated? Is the speculum comfortable, painful or some other sensation. I often hear that women go home and masturbate after the yearly well women exam. Do any of you ladies do that?

The feeling of being exposed on the table and having the doctor touch your most intimate places is unmatched.

Hi Ladies:

To start from the top, and I hate to make this sound very ordinary and devoid of eroticism, but the breast exam just feels like putting pressure against the chest wall with some cushioning between the doctor's hand, the breast (my 34C is easy to palpate and examine) and the muscle and rib cage as they use a rotating motion around the portions of each breast. I am lean and athletic so there isn't a lot of fat to feel around or through to palpate the anatomy of the breast. To describe the feeling in the nipples, squeeze your own nipples. That's what it feels like. It ISN'T the same sensation as when you're in bed with a lover. I hate to disappoint you, but they really do not do a physical/palpation exam of the clitoris. If they did, it would feel like palpating your glans. It's the same organ with the same innervation. Palpating the labia majora feels like a combination of rubbing and gentle squeezing of the fleshy tissue which probably feels very similar to the skin on your scrotum. It is derived from the same embryonic tissue folds. They look at the urethral orifice, they don't palpate it unless there is a problem. The labia minora are visually examined and they run it through their fingers to feel for a smooth texture without any bumps, inclusions or abnormalities. The introitus is visually examined and a finger or two is inserted to palpate the walls of the vagina. It feels like some pressure being exerted, but not the same pleasurable sensation as a penis or dildo being inserted. The ovaries have the same sensation as your testicles when palpated. If the ovaries are squeezed, they hurt and feel just like your balls. Again, they are essentially the same organ, size and shape. My ovaries are easily palpable in a bimanual exam because I don't carry around extra fat. I can certainly feel where they are in my abdomen if I press on the outside. The speculum can be a little uncomfortable because the doctor doesn't do foreplay to arouse me and expand the vagina before inserting the speculum. The rectal exam feels like a finger in the ass swept around in a circle to the left and right. I do not go home and masturbate after the exam because it ISN'T a turn-on, nor do I have my husband present--he doesn't need to be there and he's always at work during the day so I can live my life of semi-leisure!

I have been going to the same doctor for a long time. They all pretty much know me there. So the nurse usually joking says you know the routine. She will stand outside the changing room and ask me questions. Once I am changed I step out and onto the scale. She gets my height and weight. Then she pulls the steps around for me to get on the exam table. After a few minutes she takes my BP. Next I take off my socks and sit there talking to my sister and the nurse. Then the nurse puts a warm sheet over the lower part of the gown when I am on the table with my feet up on the table. Then the nurse tells me Dr. G. will be in soon and she leaves. After a bit you can hear Dr. G talking outside the room. Then she knocks and comes in with the nurse. Dr. G. ask me questions like how is my summer going? Still at the same job? Small talk while she listens to my heart. Then she tells me that she is going to drop my gown. The palpation of my breast doesn't do much for me. Under my arms and such sometimes tickles me. I have never had a doctor squeeze my nipples, ever. Damn itttt! LOL Joking. But really I have never had that done. Then she lays the head of the exam table back and palpates my breast more. This is all done pretty fast actually. Next she puts the gown back over my chest. Then she has me scoot to the end of the table and put my feet in the stirrups. Telling me when I am where she likes me. She then moves the sheet and gown up and presses on my tummy. She pulls the gown and sheet back over me. Then she presses all down my legs and feet to my toes. She presses on those as well. Then she washes her hands and puts on gloves. Next I feel her moving my labia's and squeezing a little and a little palpating. She looks everywhere down there. She also pulls back the hood of my clit for a split. No she doesn't play with my clit. Sorry guys. It isn't the same feeling. I mean if my clit gets touched it is a brush of her hand is all for a nanosecond. Next she inserts the speculum. The nurse is right there and no it doesn't embarrass. It did when I was younger a bit. She tells me everything she is going to do before she does it. I feel her spread me and the speculum go in. Then she tells me that she is going to open them and I feel that. Next she does the pap. She usually tells me everything looks fine and all pink inside. Then she removes the speculum. Next she slides two fingers in me and palpates my ovaries. After that she always, always without a doubt says,"here comes the part we all hate. I am going to check your bottom." I feel her spread me a little and then I feel her finger go in. I feel her turn it each way and then she takes it out. Then she helps me scoot back up on the table and she sits it up and she says, "all done". Then she leaves the room and as she is leaving she will say I will have whatever the nurses name is bring you to my office in a few minutes. The nurse tells me to just put the gown in the hamper when I get dressed and she leaves telling my sister to follow her. There is tissue on the table next to the exam table. My sister hands me back my socks and I put them back on. Then after I am off the table I wipe. I go back in the dressing room and get dressed changing my socks to clean ones and putting the ones I just took off in a plastic bag. By the time I am dressed an open the door the nurse will see me and take me to Dr. G's. office. She will ask if I want birth control etc. She always says everything looks good. Then she says follow me. We walk down the hall to the exam room where my sister is and Dr.G, me and the nurse go in after the doctor knocks on the door. Then the same thing happens.
