Damn, it baffles (but not surprise) me how women still can have such a shitty medical xperience with doctors not believing them. Also I had not considered the continues discomfort from the lube after the procedure.

not for me, I'm in America, I can't afford a doctor.

if I have problem in there, grindr will inspect it for free

Can confirm same with colonoscopy cameras. It's not exactly a relaxed or sensual moment - the lubricant makes it possible, but they're pushing in ready or not. You're definitely a little bit sore afterwards.

I love prostate exams I always get the biggest erection.

ill take it over. Now cough. They actually seemed to stop doing it so im guessing it was not really helping with anything but if your old enough and male you will know what im talking about.

Those are going the way of the dodo, in favor of other forms of testing for antigens.

There's really only minor benefit to palpation to begin with, as there's other methods to use as a general indicator of prostate health overall. Don't get me wrong, when it was really the only option that was realistic it was absolutely necessary. It's just that times have changed.

There are still niche cases where it can be useful, but the antigen testing goes back forty-ish years of easy availability. Back in the eighties, doctors were more used to palpation, and it made a certain amount of sense you keep doing them, but it wasn't necessaryafter the test was proven a reliable early detection method. Superior to palpation, btw.

And it's not like palpation was/is a significant determinant of outcomes. That comes down to treatment options and the test's timing more than it contributing directly to improved outcomes. Most prostate cancer is slow to progress, usually comes later in life, and isn't difficult to treat compared to other cancers. Mind you, fifty years ago, there were not as many options for treatment.

But now? Docs just don't do it as part of an annual exam. Even urologists don't do them unless there's a clear benefit for a specific case, which is passingly rare.

If you think stuff up your butt is an analogy to stuff up your vagina. Oh man, I hope you never have to have a cystoscopy. Bro I have had a doctor stick a camera in my dick hole like at least six times now and like the first five they didn't give me anything for it. Eventually dude decided to give me 5 mg Valiums so I could take one an hour before the procedure because he was tired of hearing me complain I think. But yeah I can only imagine OBGYN stuff.

Indeed I am male and not prepared for it haha. But we must do what we must do.

Does it help if the doctor gives you a pre warning and time to relax your muscles? And that is a perspective I would not have thought about in the sense of being used to penetration, but it makes sense.

Damn, that sucks. I hope you have found a good doctor for you now.

Does it make it leas uncomfortable? How uncomfortable is it to get an examination?

I would not have guessed that. I would imagine that it would make it more difficult to hold whatever partvtheyvare piercing steady.
