Question: Any woman ever had a doctor check her overies from her rectum during a pap test.? Is it normal.?
Answers:
It's not unheard of, although it's not a common practice. It is usually done when the doctor suspects there might be a problem (enlargements, growths, adhesions, etc).
I've had it done periodically, most recently when they were prepping me for my hysterectomy (to determine whether or not I could keep my ovaries).
It's not bad...just a bit uncomfortable.Health Question & Answer

I did. I thought it was weird, but my doctor was female, so I figured she was on the up and up. Probably not usually done by males for fear of being thought a pervert or something. also, my husband was in the room at the time, so I think it is probably something that is legit.Health Question & Answer

Yes, it's normal. I never had it done but some gynos would do it if you are complaining about pelvic pains so they get a better feel of the ovaries. And it screens for colon cancer.Health Question & Answer
