Pelvic Examination

A pelvic examination is a routine medical check where a healthcare provider assesses a woman's reproductive organs, including the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, and ovaries. During the exam, the doctor or nurse may visually inspect the external genitals, perform a gentle manual exam with gloved fingers to feel the internal organs, and possibly collect samples for testing. This helps evaluate health, diagnose issues like infections or abnormalities, and screen for conditions such as cervical cancer. The procedure is done with care for comfort and privacy, and patients are encouraged to ask questions or express concerns.
