Medical Conditions - Pelvic Examination

The pelvic examination involves an examination of pelvic organs, both visually and physically. In this exam, the doctor examines the vagina, vulva, cervix, fallopian tubes, and uterus when there is an abnormality. A pelvic exam is commonly done during pregnancy when having abnormal vaginal bleeding, skin changes, and pelvic pain. It is done in a few minutes. During a pelvic examination, a Pap smear is taken in case the doctor detects some abnormal growth.
