A pelvic examination is a complete physical exam of a womans pelvic organs by a GYN health professional. A pelvic exam helps a health professional evaluate the size and position of the vagina, cervix, uterus, and ovaries. These OB/GYN services are an important part of preventive health care for all adult women. A pelvic exam is done to help detect certain cancers in their early stages, infections, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or other reproductive system problems.
Why It Is Done
A pelvic exam may be done:
As part of a womans regular physical checkup. A Pap test may be done during the pelvic exam. For more information, see the topic Pap Test.
To detect vaginal infections, such as yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis.
To help detect sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as chlamydia, herpes, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, or human papillomavirus (HPV).
To help determine the cause of abnormal uterine or rectal bleeding.
To evaluate pelvic organ abnormalities, such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, or uterine prolapse.
To evaluate abdominal or pelvic pain.
Before prescribing a method of birth control (contraception). Some methods of birth control, such as a diaphragm or intrauterine device, require a pelvic exam to make sure the device fits properly.
Collect evidence in cases of suspected sexual assault.
