How to get a rectal examination?

2024-07-10 18:44:25
Hi, I was just wondering of getting a rectal examination. Being on the safer side I wanted a routine checkup so that I'll know my body is safe and secure. I have few questions- 1. Whom should I visit to get a rectal examination? 2. Am I legal to get a rectal examination? (I'm 17) 3. Is it okay to get a rectal examination? Please help me regarding this. Thanks.
