Fuck I need to show my GP my arse!

[Snap8TheCat]

I know I know I have to but how do you get past the shame.

Any tips?

I'm a GP. trust me, whatever it is, I've seen worse.

Just reassure yourself that earlier in the week they will no doubt have seen an arse that is even more awful than anything you will be showing them .

What if this actually the worst? I mean someone has to be!

My gp's seen worse just take a deep breath you'll be fine.

Chances are the GP is so zonked out that he won't care a bit whether the body part he is examining is a toe or an arse!

As a retired HCP, I can assure you, your arse is nothing unusual, all in a day's work, and one of several that your GP will see that day.
In regard to the embarrassment, you will not be facing said GP at the time, so you can blush and no-one will notice.
A bit of bravery and teeth gritting.
Big girl pants on......ermm....off.....

Tip :consider your diet a few days previous.

Cheeks or hole??

When I had to have suppositories administered by a nurse, I closed my eyes and thought of absolutely anything but what was happening .

Ooo what do you mean by consider my diet? No brussel sprouts type of thing?

Hole unfortunately (probably)

I see a lot of arses as a side effect of seeing lots of vulvas. Believe me we honestly don't notice what it looks like, we only zone in on things that ought not to be there if that makes sense. So for example if you had a perfectly healthy arse with the mother of all piles then your gp will be able to describe your pile in perfect detail afterwards but would probably not be able to tell you if your arse is hairy, freckled, covered in pimples or smooth and peach like.

I had to show mine my fanny. He had to remove stitches that i had been told were soluble, but I was stitched up with the wrong sort and and by the time I went to see him the skin had started growing back over and the practice nurse was off sick that day.

I have known my GP since I was 4 yrs old and was so embarrassed. After that, showing him my arse wouldn't bother me.

I pooed during childbirth with two midwives at the business end. Anyone can look at anything of mine after that 😄

I had to show my gp (family friend) a let's say intimate area about a year ago, he retired out of the blue almost immediately after. I do wonder.
You'll be fine snap.

Think about diet - farting in his/her face is just plain rude and hygiene. I know it's your arse, but keep it as clean as you can down there.

I had to show my GP my postnatal piles. For God knows what reason, he got the receptionist to come and chaperone. I know doctors don’t care, but I can feel my face going bright red every time I see the receptionist now.

On the up side she’s a female GP.

You must be gorgeous to have him request a chaperone. Enjoy being lovely; my GP doesn't regard it as necessary any longer, but he has been my GP for 30 years!

I’ve had fertility investigations plus IVF. There are no consultants, doctors or nurses left in the South East who haven’t seen my foof. I have no shame left and I don’t bat an eyelid any more at any type of intimate exam.

Argh, the chaperone thing... I convinced myself I was having some kind of prolapse after DD was born when things felt a bit wonky and out of place (in the end I had another baby and it all went back to normal!). Anyway, the GP asked if I wanted a chaperone, and I said no thank you, the fewer people looking the better IF you don't mind...

Thank you.

Chances are (almost certainly) it’s nothing but I’ve had quite a lot of bleeding and it feels odd down there.

What if this actually the worst?

it really really really won't be
trust me
it won't

I'm not a HCP but I work as a carer. I see a lot of fannies, willies and backsides, I honestly don't care! I don't think any less of people because I've seen their bits and I certainly don't think about it if I see them out and about!

There was a man on telly (Embarrassing Bodies maybe? I didn't watch it, but there was a thread about it on here I think) who thought he had an infection or something and it turned out he just wasn't wiping his bum very well. So as long as you're not him, there's at least one person whose bum examination was more embarrassing than yours!

Good luck OP
