I can only imagine how uncomfortable an exam must be, so I would assume they would use lubrication to make it more bearable.
I assume you are male, just wait until you get older and need prostate exams, then you’ll have some idea of what’s it’s like to have a doctor sticking their fingers all up in there. It’s not a direct comparison, of course, but close enough for the Internet.
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.
im knocked out for my colonoscopy. Either that or its so horrific I block all memories of it.
Yes they use a lubricant. Its not comfortable, its a doctors appointment and someone you don’t know is sticking things inside of you. It is also normally not painful, if it is painful that is something to discuss with your doctor.
They do use lubrication. It’s very cold. The procedure isn’t comfortable at all but it’s also usually not painful (not true for all women and not true all the time for most women, the muscles sometimes have a mind of their own). Most doctors are trained to be mindful of their patients’ needs but occasionally you get someone who clearly doesn’t get it. One time I was in pain and was told flatly that that’s impossible. So it’s always scary and stressful going in, because you just never know.
I also find that they always use like three times as much lubrication as is needed, so when it’s all over you can continue to feel cold and uncomfortable and wet with it all slowly oozing out as you walk out of the clinic.
This is easily searchable. You’re a gross moron.
I wanted to hear from the experiences from different people. How the hell is this question gross?
It’s not gross, just inquisitive. Kinda nice to have people be curious about what things are like for others that are different from themselves.
And to answer it: yes they use lube. It’s more cold and uncomfortable than painful.
They do, it’s still excruciating, but I have problems there and it’s unrelated to the exam that’s making it painful. Most gynos are understanding. Some have been…really shitty about it though.
Damn, that sucks. I hope you have found a good doctor for you now.
Well I did but I lose my insurance at the end of the year, so. Goodbye gyno!
I assume you’re American?
I’m always confused by seeing people say they’re losing their insurance.
Does it come with your job?
In Australia we have public hospitals with a lengthy wait time but its free or you can pay for private health insurance. Doesn’t really speed much up for where i live but the premiums I pay a year get me free dental for the most part which makes it worth it. Not to mention paying for insurance brings down your annual tax by 1500 or so dollars
I’m an American and was on state insurance. But was only on state insurance due to being unemployed but the recent going ons with the country government meant a lot of us are getting kicked off that or are having to jump through a bunch of hoops to stay on.
After I’m kicked off I could maybe still go to the big city near me and get on their system but that requires driving to the big city and they still might not. And if I went to a hospital they’d have to treat me but making them not charge me, while possible, is an ordeal.
I’d love single payer system.
