How often do you have a recto-vaginal exam?

Ladies how often does your doctor perform a recto-vaginal. And is it done with your feet in the stirrups? Is this a procedure that you find exciting?

I have not had one done. But I would like my doctor to do it. He probably won't for a few more years until I am 35.

My (real) doctor says that he does them every 3 years starting at 30yo.

It is usually done with the patient still in Stirrups.

Some doctors will just do the recto-vaginal and omit the rectal exam while others would do both. The RVE allows the examiner get a better idea of how the patients internal reproductive organs are positioned.

I've had one done with my feet in the stirrups once, and then when I went to the gyno with my gf she had one done in the same way. OMG soo hott

I've had one with almost every pelvic exam, including my first one. I quite enjoy them--even more so if they are followed by a separate rectal exam 😃.

My first wife only had one, when she was pregnant.

I've never had one when I went to a regular appointment, but I had one recently in the hospital. It went fairly quickly - the doctor just slipped her fingers in and pushed my tummy a little - but although it was uncomfortable at the time, it sure was fun to think more about it later. She did do a separate rectal exam too, but no speculum, sadly.

I had my regular pap and exam last week and I was slightly disappointed to find she does not do the rectal exam. I bet that's not a good thing to call and find out ahead of time, huh!

Funny how much that practice varies from doctor to doctor.

Was this your first time at this particular doctor?

Some fo them and some don't until 40!

I've had three gyno exams and it was done at two of them. I didn't find it particularly pleasant at the time but fantasized about it later.

My wife is a nurse so getting a physical is something required every year by her hospital. Her regular gyno that she had for 30 years retired a couple years ago so she has tried a couple differant ones in the same office. This year she used the female NP and the NP didn't do a rectal but all the male doctors she had in the past did.

My wife has never had a rectal exam by her dr.'s

My wife has never had a rectal-vaginal done on her.

As much as i dislike the discomfort of getting my recto-vaginal exam, i'm always more disappointed if i don't get it than if i have to endure it.

It's interesting that here in the UK health guidelines are every three years unless a patient needs more frequent checks, ie oncology etc.

My wife doen't get one either, but I told her to ask and she said she would, now I have to convince her that I need to start going with her, I give her home exams all the time very realistic, but hopefully she will take me to hers , although she says they are not very exciting like mine

I think it depends on the doctor, and maybe the country you are from as to the customs. I did not start getting rectal exams with my gyne examinations until I was pregnant.

Girlfriend was so nervous to have this done the first time. But when it happened, she became aroused. Since the she asks to have this done to her during play about once a week. I'm happy to accomodate her.

Every time I go which is twice a year. It's always done in the stirups.

Smartik some doctors skip that part and do it when you are more older...

I have had the recto-vaginal exam at my annual exam since I was 30. I have never had a speculum placed in my rectum, I can not even imagine that! 😮

I have a feeling that the recto-vaginal exam is performed in the US much younger women than in European countries? Here in Europe the exam is typically performed for the first time after a woman is 30 or 35 years of age.

I also receive a Recto-vaginal exam every time I go to my gyne. He always do that wile i still have my heels in the stirrups. On two occasions I have had to get back on the table after he had arranged it in the Procto position for a complete rectal exam. He is very gentle and I can handle that pretty well

He always do that wile i still have my heels in the stirrups.

A recto-vaginal exam is performed at the same way - in the stirrups - here in Europe.

Ladies, do you feel that it's easier to relax during a recto-vaginal than a pure rectal exam? I've heard that some women feel definitely so.

Only had one that did it, but I wish they were more standard and always had to happen!

My wife is 45 and has it done every year.

I have never had a rectal-vaginal done by my dr. My old gyno did rectals but the one I have now does not.

I have it done every year.
