I have never had a rectal with a gynecological exam either, and as a patient, I would definitely refuse such a thing. So what if they say it's incomplete? I would tell them that they will have to leave it at that, and because of the history of fissures, I would say that I don't ever intend to let them do one. You really have to stick up for what is right for you, and if you're already under the care of a rectal specialist, they don't need to do one on you anyway.
