I have one coming in my near future...

what should I expect!! post up your experiences of this important part of being a man.

HollowBassman · #2 04-14-2008, 04:55 AM

Never had one.

I avoid the doctor like I avoid being ripped apart by an angry bear.

Good luck.

It's no big deal. You should expect a gloved, lubricated hand to be shoved up your backside. It's over before you know it. Hopefully, nothing bad is found.

Nope, never had one a real one

I just feel as if I have after every day at work

They also wipe a treated pad to test for enzymes that could indicate rectal, colon or prostate cancer. Some places want to use a small scope to look for inflamation, lesions and or pollups. That's usually if something shows up in the standard exam.

Asking this question violates a man law.

Yep, that's pretty much how it goes:
Me: Been playin' any golf lately?
Doctor: Yeah, got out a few weeks ago with my son, hit the ball great but putted terribly.
Me: Story of my life. Except for the "hit the ball great" part. Did I tell you I played Pinehurst #2 a couple months ago?
Doctor: Did you? Wow! Fantastic course. How'd you manage that?
Me: Worked a contact I had, and..
Doctor: Pull down your pants, turn around and prop yourself up on your elbows for a minute..
Me: Yeah, so I actually hit six greens in regulation, but wow that course is tough, and........

Me: So, you takin' me out to dinner now?

They never take you out even for a drink.

I really want to post one of the "It's a trap" posters, but i'd get banned

I'm trying to work out it I should play hard to get or just back down on the mofo and totally own it... NOT looking forward to this... I should be adult about this I know, but I always felt my a$$ should be like a diode, flowing ONE WAY...

These days I wish I would have shopped around for a petite Asian woman with small fingers when I was in need of a health care professional. As it stands now, I have a Dr. by the name of Guido with hairy knuckles. If only I would have known!!!

Ha-haaaa...

Actually a gloved lubricated FINGER goes up there... not the whole hand... hopefully...

Mine have always went just fine... no pain... a tiny bit embarrassing (if you feel like complaining about it go talk to your wife/grilfriend about what THEY have to go through)...

...the most disconcerting thing is when I notice during the procedure that the doctor has both hands grasping my shoulders.

Be sure and have a burrito the night before!!

Enjoy...

remo · #15 04-14-2008, 06:39 AM

lol both hands grasping sholders. That's NOT me helping dude! so what position do they get you in for this procedure? I'm hoping they can "do" me in the fetal position because that's what their gonna get!

TallLankyBastyd · #16 04-14-2008, 06:43 AM

I've had to just bend over before and the last few years have had to lie on my side in the fetal position... I thought that sort of weird but... whatever.

BTW... you may want to refrain from informing your doctor of your Talkbass handle...

Me too. I'm 55. I've had a few of them plus the PSA where they take a blood test -- all routine. I was lucky; they said my prostate was still the size of a teenager's.

remo · #19 04-14-2008, 06:57 AM

you sure it was your prostate they were referring to?
