Exam in Standing Position

Have any women had an exam in a standing position in real life?

Examining a woman in a standing position is useful to evaluate for incisional, femoral, ventral, and inguinal hernias. The standing position is also helpful for evaluation of pelvic floor relaxation defects, by placing the index finger of one hand in the vagina and the index finger of the other hand in the rectum while the patient bears down. Occult enterocele, rectocele, cystocele, and uterine prolapse may be diagnosed with this procedure more accurately than when the patient is in the lithotomy position.

the standing examination is really preferable to lithotomy position ( laying down) when trying to evaluate the maximum extent of an uterus prolapse.

Also the look for urinary incontinence in a female patient may require the standing position with the performance of valsava manoeuvre or asking the patient to cough if both manoeuvres don't reveal loss of urine in the lithotomy position.

Patient should be off course naked for the waist down.

Very informational amaral. Also sounds nice, a little embarassing, but necessary for the doctor to fully evaluate you. I'm liking this... 😃

I thought the same thing as flyfisher, this adds a whole new dimension to an exam. Between the standard lithotomy position, on all fours, and now standing, I think we have all the bases covered. Lots of new suggestions for my play-doc. Thanks one and all!

Play On!

I was having some constipation problem and the doctor had me stand while he did a rectovaginal exam. He inserted his index finger into my rectum and his thumb into my vagina. He had me bear down because he was checking for a peritoneocele or enterocele. It is a pretty humiliating experience! He is sitting on his stool and you are standing there wearing only a paper vest because you have to remove the paper drape for this exam.

A video I posted in the videos section on this site: http://erotic-clinic.zity.biz/index.php?action=forum;board=117.0 under "Interesting gyno" shows some examination while standing--if you watch the video through however, you will know it is not a real medical video.

Watch the following from about the 2:20 minute mark through to about 5:00 minute mark and it shows a examination of the female patient in a standing 😁position and the Q-tip test. Later on in the video it shows different females expressing urine on Valsalva manuver.

My wife had a uterine prolapse that gradually got worse each year. She said her gyno in addition to the exam in the stirrups would have her stand up, put her hands on his shoulders and put one foot up in a chair and he would give her another internal vaginal exam while she was standing there holding on to him. Needless to say listening to her tell me this one time really lit my fuse. She never allows me to go with her, but I would have loved to have been there to watch this.

This same doctor also had her stand as part of the breast exam. He would have her put her hands on his shoulders and lean forward as far as she could so her breasts would hang down and he would again examine them while they were in this position.

These stories have given me many an hour of pleasure, I just hope that some day I will be able to go with her and see it in person.

I would love to rp this some time

These absolutely do exist and i'm surprised more haven't experienced or shared here.

I remember the lady in the clinic hooking her fingers into my trousers and asking "can I look down here?" and I agreed not feeling like I had an option. She cupped and squeezed my vulva over my knickers then hooked her thumbs in my knickers and asked "can I check in here" again I felt forced to agree and my knickers were soon round my knees. She pulled back one lip with her index finger then let it go. Then did the same with the other lip. She then pulled back both lips together and held them wide for a few minutes. Then that was it!

Recently I got sunburnt after sunbathing nude and went to the docs to see if I could get something better than aftersun. She examined me all over too to give me a lecture on being more careful (I agree with her) and she asked me to lower my knickers. She made a V with her fingers to push back the lips and check I wasn't burnt inside or have any strange marks.

Gf had a labiaplasty consultation that was also done in the standing position.

I had a diaphragm fitted at the family planning clinic, the male doctor examined me laying on the couch with my knees up and legs open, checking me internally and inserting diaphragms to get the correct size for me. After he was happy he left me with the nurse. She told me to put one foot up on a stool and put her fingers in my vagina while I was standing up, she then inserted the diaphragm several times and then got me to do it myself. She said it was the best position to insert it in and advised me to do it in the bathroom at home using the toilet to put my foot up on. I found that part more embarrassing than the doctors examination for some reason or other...

I've seen in a movie about some women's prison in the 1950s? 1960s? the jailer asking the incoming inmate to put her foot on a stool and then rummaging around her midsection, apologizing she has to do it because some women hide things in there. The inmate then cries. Unsure whether that just involved an external palpation whether something was protruding, or a finger was inserted (I cannot recall whether she had a glove on).

In another movie set in a bygone century, a male physician examines the virginity of a young woman while she's standing (perhaps, again, with one foot resting on a stool, I don't recall).

Does anyone know what the cupping and squeezing vulva test I had might have been for? She cupped and squeezed pretty hard. My friend had the same she had to lift her dress and got squeezed too. It's a horizontal squeezing of the mons and top of lips with knickers on. She didn't get her knickers pulled down after her test, the clinic lady just pulled them to the side for a quick look and didn't part the lips.

Was it a hernia test?

I don't believe that it was a hernia exam. I did have a female friend in high school who endured the same type of exam. She mentioned that during a physical exam, the doctor squeezed her privates with her panties intact. She seemed rather embarrassed, though she stated that he must have wanted to feel her up but didn't have the guts to put his hands inside her panties.

Annie204 as sensei1980 has said I don't believe it was a hernia test . It could be a method to assess the pelvic floor muscle strength, but I'm not certain about this .

Perhaps one of the real MD's will chime in. I am definitely not a doctor. I don't think that kind of an external exam would be useful for accessing the pelvic floor. I would think that would be much more internal. It could be looking for extremely swollen Bartholin's glands, though my SO's gyno inserts a finger into her vagina up to the first joint and uses a finger or her thumb on the outside to assess them on her.

This may seem like a silly comment but it is your body, you probably should have asked what they were up to. You were probably young and a bit naive and it hit you by surprise, but something to remember moving forward.

That is commonly used in urogynecology when a female goes in for evaluation of urinary incontinence. The doctor asks you to get off the exam table, stand next to the table and put your right/left foot on a stool. Then they re-glove and roll their own stool nearby....insert two fingers deep in the vagina and ask the woman to bear down, cough, and then generally deeply palpate the area.

It isn't part of a regular gynecology exam. Just for stress incontinence (urine leakage) evaluation.
