My N.P. is always very nice and takes her time talking to me, and the exam is usually over rather quickly. However this last time she couldn't find my cervix (!!) so she had to try with the speculum 3 times before deciding to use an 'extra long' one. She said it's more on the upper part of my vagina rather than the back so it was hard to get to. A little embarrassing, but not too bad.
The digital rectal exam is used by some doctors if you tilt that way, so I understand. And I must also agree that the ovary checks are the most uncomfortable part of the exam.
