Pelvic examination

A pelvic examination, also known as a pelvic exam or vaginal exam, is a physical examination of the female pelvic organs. Broadly, it can be divided into the external examination and internal examination. It is also called "Bimanual Exam" (i.e. using two hands) & "Manual Uterine Palpation" (palpation meaning an examination by touch). It is frequently used in gynecology.
