Coughing during rectal exam?

A couple of young guys i have had fone sex with have said that when they got anal exams the doctor had them cough while a gloved finger was in their rectums. ive had that for a hernia check but never heard of it for a rectal exam. is that believeable? has anyone had that? whats the point? what about women?

Coughing during a DRE? Never heard of that. I've never had a patient of either sex do that.

I have never heard of that either. I have been asked to bare down before, but not cough. I am not sure anatomically speaking that would provide any information?

Nurses sometimes tell me me cough just before a buttock injection. The reason seems to be that it momentarily takes my mind off what is about to happen and, therefore, relaxes the muscle for a less painful jab back there but I am instructed to do so only when lying prone for the injection; never when bending over.

I feel like I watched a real educational video one time where it said to "Ask the patient to cough or bare down before inserting your finger".

It is de riguer to ask the patient to bear down prior to inserting the examining finger. This causes relaxation of the external anal sphincter. To have the patient cough during the procedure is just asking for flatulence in one's face.

I've had a doctor ask me to cough while he was examining me with a sigmoidoscope to assess haemorrhoids. I'm not sure what he was looking for the cough to produce.

Coughing raises intraabdominal pressure and thus would make hemorrhoids bulge and be more visible. It would also tell which ones were still blood filled as opposed to clotted. Hemorrhoids are veins which connect the veins which drain the lower extremities with the veins which drain the gut. They become enlarged when intraabdominal pressure increases and blood escapes into the surrounding tissue.

I've got to admit that the thought of having a guy cough while the doc's finger is in his rectum is hot in my opinion. I think it has something to do with the humiliation a guy would feel, first having a personal object inserted in such a private area, and then being commanded to produce a straining function that brings the thought and possibility of drawing the finger deeper.

While I've never heard of this practice, I do remember seeing a physical assessment video in med school that covered the Bulbocavernosus reflex. This test also appeals to me as again, the patient is subjected to the doctor's finger invasion at the same time his cock is being squeezed. Again, something about the humiliating nature of the exam really gets me excited.

The main use for the bulbocavernosus reflex is to evaluate spinal shock. Hardly very erotic.

Liquidsky, you're so hot when you talk medical stuff, lol. And I mean that.

I had a very thorough physical (I'll post about it soon) earlier today at a big hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. The fairly young Thai but US trained doctor asked me to cough when I was up on my knees with his finger deep in my ass. His young female Thai nurse was watching on. I was a little surprised by his request but meekly complied. Another experience for my memory bank ....

I have had to do this. I was asked to cough twice when the doctor her her finger in my rectum.

I've never been asked to do that.

Never been asked/told to do this.

I've never been asked to cough during a rectal exam and neither has my wife. We've only been instructed to bear down or take a deep breath as the examiner's finger begins penetration.

Your doctor may be checking for rectal prolapse if he asks you to cough during the rectal exam.

I have never been asked to cough for a rectal exam. Only to test hernia or checking the balls.
