Has anybody had a finger in their bum recently?

Get Prostrate cancer in your old age (70 plus), it won't kill you, but younger it will.

Any issues going to the loo need talking to the GP, which reminds me, my new pain killers stop me having a pee/poo easily.

If you can't pee/poo easily - GP appointment.

My uncle has it, but in his early 70's, he has been told it won't kill him. He's also active.

No finger in the bum yet, but I have a full physical coming up with the Doc in two weeks were I'm expecting some new tests for this almost 50 year old body.

That's pretty much what my GP said. A PSA test shortly after a DRE can yield dodgy readings.

I'd always had my blood test after riding to work was OK. Last time wasn't (car), but it had gone up 0.5 - and no 'other stuff'. It's a check I have to have on my meds - no finger again fortunately..

I've avoided them. Mine was because of meds I needed after the 'worlds worse snip' - I.e. Lance Armstrong drugs - I have to take it every day. But, my wife was in the consulting room, and I said 'you might want to leave as he is about to put his finger up my bum' - so she did... not something your wife needs to see either. I knew what was coming.

I have no clue how it's called in English. Sizes varies.

Don't even think about asking me how I know this (answer would destroy my image as a good girl). [/QUOTE]

Splendid! I must get one.

Not recently but the the one at 13 sticks in my mind laying in A&E in agony memory could be playing tricks but I am pretty sure it came without warning within minutes j was being rushed to have my now burst appendix out. To be honest I couldn't give a feck at the time what they did

In simple terms, that's an anal douche

I have posted this before on another thread:

I was seeing a urology specialist for another matter ( he wasn’t a doctor as such - he was a nurse consultant - although since he had a PhD, he’s actually got more right to call himself Doctor than a doctor - but I digress...)

Anyway - I mentioned that my dad had had prostate cancer, and should I get checked out. He said “We’ll do a DRE (Digital Rectal Exam - finger up the bum) on your next visit - I’ll get 'him next door' to do it", referring to a consultant who was a specialist in that particular field. “I’m qualified to do these things, but I only do them maybe a couple of times a year, and he’s doing them several times a day. ”

The day came, and I went to the hospital, knowing that as well as the usual treatment, I was to get the dreaded exam.

He says “The guy next door is not available, so I’ll do it after we’ve done the other stuff”.

20 mins later, the other stuff was finished, and it was time. He said “I’ve had an idea - would you be OK with a lassie doing it?”. When i said “Of course”, he phoned one of the registrars - a woman in her 30s, hardly “a lassie” - who was also a specialist in that area.

He said “She’s doing this far more often than me. And she’s got thin fingers. I’ve got hands like sausages...”

It was absolutely no problem at all. I don’t know what all the fuss is about.

On a faintly serious note, I had mentioned my concerns on about three occasions. I got the impression that prostate cancer wasn't high up on the list of NHS priorities, judging by the reluctance of my GP to do any tests, whether it was a PSA, DRE, or whatever. I may be mistaken, of course.

Doctor asked me to strip off from the waist down. I asked what should I do with my trousers. "Put them over there with mine " was not the answer I expected.

About 16 years ago a red headed girlfriend put her finger up my bum. I didn’t like it.

The lady in question was a brunette. I can't imagine that her fingers were very large, judging by her slight frame....but I didn't like it either. Maybe it's just a problem with my bum. Who knows?

She faintly tried to dissuade me from having the minor procedure, but, with five friends with the same possible condition, I thought it might be a good idea to go for broke. She asked me to roll into a ball and face the wall next to the medical couch. I imagine she was snapping on the latex gloves and getting the KY out.
She then asked me to get up and remove my jeans and pants and resume the same foetal position. Having somebody poking at your anal sphincter isn't ideal really, unless you like them a lot. I guess that I wasn't entirely receptive. "Try and relax" she said, before ramming a digit quite violently in there and fiddling about.

It's not quite my cup of tea really. Anyway, go and do it you silly weedy blokes. It might just save your life.

Thanks for all your posts. I think we got to the bottom of the matter.
