    Same for the male equivalent (sorry, English is not my first language). Hard to see the anus without exposing genitals, might as well make examining it the genital doctor’s job.

        Checking for hemorrhoid issues should work the exact same for men and women, and men get their prostate checked on top of that (which works differently than a hemorrhoids check).

          Gotcha - wasn’t aware that was something that was normally checked for. The most invasive thing I’m aware of is the turn and cough hernia check.

            IME it’s not something that’s checked for every time you come in for someting genital-related, but if someone is going to check for that it’s most likely your gynecologist or urologist.
