Pelvic exam

A pelvic exam is a routine medical procedure where a healthcare provider evaluates the health of a woman's reproductive organs. During the exam, the provider may check the external area, examine the vagina and cervix using a speculum (a device that gently opens the area), and feel the uterus and ovaries through the abdomen or via a manual assessment. This helps detect infections, abnormalities, or signs of conditions like fibroids or cysts. The procedure is typically quick, private, and performed with care to ensure comfort, supporting overall reproductive and pelvic health.
