A member asked:
How do u "squeeze" during a rectal exam? is itlike pushing to poop or more like a keagal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hmm: Squeeze your gluteal muscles together and it should close your rectal sphincter. Using a combination of kegel and gluteal muscle exercises should do the trick. Why are you needing to squeeze your rectum?
