Ladies how do you react to a rectal exam

When receiving a rectal exam how do you react? Do you curl your toes, let out a gasp, cringe your face or just act like nothing is happening?

My wife and I have conjoint physicals, so I get to see her reactions during her exam. When the examiner performs the rectovaginal/ rectal exams, as the middle finger enters her rectum and the index finger enters her vagina, she curls her toes tight, and her calves usually tense up, and during the palpation with the abdominal hand, sometimes her thighs tense up as well. She also raises her hips a little as the fingers enter her. She usually closes her eyes, takes slow, deep breaths, and shows little tension on her face.

When the examiner removes the index finger from her vagina, and pushes the middle finger back deep into her rectum for the rectal exam, her reaction is the same as the start of the rectovaginal exam.

I've had a rectovaginal exam at the gyno a finger in the vagina and anus then they press on your lower stomach very weird feeling my toes curled right away and I bit my lip but it was not painful

My Gyno is usually very gentle when she does the recto-vaginal exam. I lie there staring up at the ceiling and when she removes her finger from my vagina and inserts her finger a little deeper into my butt for the rectal exam I will close my eyes and just enjoy the moment.

When receiving a rectal exam how do you react?

It's no big deal.

I have things bigger than their fingers going in and coming out all the time! 😁

I just lie back and relax.

The first time I attempted to squirm away from the doctor. It didn’t work. The doctor kept telling me to relax. In my defense, it’s kind of hard to relax when someone is taking your anal virginity.

I’ve gotten a bit better since then. It doesn’t hurt. But the sensation still makes me clinch my butt and flinch a little bit.

I bet they get some fun faces over the course of the day.

It was surprising when I had it done for the first time. I clenched up but learned that it did not prevent the doctor for doing the exam. I don't think that my toes curled but do recall gasping when having the rectal exam and feeling very full when he did the recto/vag examination and pressing on my lower abdomen. The recto-vaginal examination definitely felt more intense.

First time just feel embarassed but no pain just pressure.

Now my reaction is to just bare down lay back and let him crack on with it. Wish it were longer

I do curl my toes. It doesn't hurt. Of course both of my doctors have been women with small fingers. It has always been the last thing they did.

The first time I was surprised and a bit embarrassed. Now, it’s no big deal, it’s just a finger and it’s over quickly.

A reminder that this is a Gynaecology topic.

It is discussing how females react to a rectal examination.

Small grimace, tighten a bit the buttocks and look at the opposite side. I've only done it three or four times in my life.

I’ve only ever had one doctor do it, and she did it while I was in stirrups right after the bimanual. I tried to get up, and she was like “nope!” And then stuck her finger in and was out in half a second. Not even enough time to react really.

Only had one rectal exam, that was when I was being tested for IBS. It happened so fast no time for a reaction. Have never had it during my annual gyne exam or when any of my children were born,

I usually clench my cheeks and have to be told to relax. It always makes me feel like I need to poop when he inserts/removes his finger.

Never had this done

I was at the Dr with my wife one time. She had gone to that Dr. for several years. After the vaginal exam, he said he was going to do something different and shoved his finger up my wife's ass. It made her open her eyes wide open anyhow.

During the initial recto vaginal exam you feel very full. My doctor removes his vaginal finger and proceeds to do a very thorough rectal exam. I have only ever had one before but for the visual exam I had to reposition my body to make my anus more visible to him which was very awkward. He looked at it for what felt like an eternity.

I like the typical bowling grip with thumb in vagina and middle finger in rectum and this seems an easy way to feel the thickness between the two but reading posts this is not correct?

@Moppys_jalopy The bowling ball grip using a thumb in the vagina and finger in her ass is wonderful for a play exam. I always employ many multiple configurations of penetration on my patients! I like to be VERY thorough and feel EVERYTHING! 😁

But that grip puts the thumb pointing down, and for a real Dr all the interesting stuff is 'up.' So using fingers inserted into both holes lets them curl up and then the Drs other hand presses down on the lower abdomen to feel and check the organs. At least that's my opinion/understanding.

I typically gasp as the finger goes in, squeeze the arm rest or table, depending on my position, curl my toes, and wince.

Maybe a little gasp. The first time I also felt embarrassed. But now it is quite routine...

My gf doesnt really like the rectal exam but knows it has to be done as part of the exam process

Last one I had not long ago was by a gastro dr and I’ve been going there for years.

I was having anus pain so was told to remove my clothes get on the exam table get on my stomach then my knees and the Dr had me push like I was having a bowel movement to force the lining of my rectum back into position. It worked. It helped the pain I was under. Oh sorry he was using his fingers into my rectum for the procedure. He explained that the lining of my rectum has prolapsed.

Any worse I’d need surgery. It’s my choice.

I’m thinking about it. But lately I’ve been doing just fine.

I love to watch my wife having a rectal exam, her toes curl, her legs tense and if it's really intense she will gasp

Very horny after.

A little gasp I would say.

A little gasp, a little to curling, my first time I almost cried though.

I act as nothing happened

I relax and enjoy it!

I was a bit exited when I knew I was getting one. The doctor was a bit rough and just stuck his fingers in my rectum and vagina, it felt like my anus got cramps, but I didn't mind. Curled my toes. Then the rectal and he went in the same way, plunged in and I curled my toes and let out a small gasp. But I loved it.

My wife takes the rectal like a champ. She usually has no observable reaction. Her gyn is a female with small fingers and is very gentle and quick. She has never had a rectovaginal exam and I suspect she would have a reaction if that happened.
