I’ve never been anally penetrated during a gyno visit, not a single time in many many years in many different places. If you have, that’s fucking weird. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 58 points 10 months ago (4 children) My Obstetricians didn't but the (female) internist who did my pap smears as part of my annual physical did them. Not weird at all because she was examining the whole body, not just the female bits. And she warned me, as she did about everything down there, and didn't mess around. She also took care as she opened the speculum so I could unclench (vaginismus). Frankly much more considerate than my second OB, I broke their speculum and they blamed me rather than their technique. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 10 months ago (2 children) Ok well that’s definitely not a “usually” situation then. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago* It's apparently less common than it used to be (I'm quite old, and I also had pelvic pain which is another reason for doing a rectovaginal exam) but considering the fact that colorectal cancer is skyrocketing in young adults maybe it should make a comeback.
