Bimanual Exam

The practitioner will then do the bimanual exam. He or she will insert one or two gloved fingers into the vagina. The other hand will press down on the lower abdomen feeling for position, size irregularities, or tenderness of the uterus, tubes, or ovaries.

A rectal vaginal exam may be done. Again I must emphasize that relaxed muscles help make the exam more comfortable.
