Re: Anal exam From: Anna (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri, 8 Mar 2002 23:55:54 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: M.

Previous message: confused: "severe cramps in stomach and lower back" In reply to: Robin: "Re: Anal exam" Cindy, frankly, if you're uncomfortable, tell him not to do it. He's the doctor, but it's your body, and if you say no, that's that. Everything else is assault. Yes, it might give more info than a vaginal exam, but as long as there are no reasons to suspect problems, maybe that's information that's not really worth the price. -- Anna At Mon, 4 Mar 2002, Robin wrote: > >At Mon, 4 Mar 2002, Cindy wrote: >> >>My gyno says he wants to perform an anal exam.
