What is a double vaginal examination?

Patient's question:

What is a bimanual examination

Doctor's answer:

The double vaginal examination is the most common and simplest method used to examine a woman's vagina, cervix, and uterus. It involves one hand of the doctor pressing on the lower abdomen while the other hand is inserted into the vagina. The two hands then work together to check the condition of the vagina, cervix, and uterus.
The occurrence of gynecological examinations not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain the cleanliness of the perineal skin in daily life.
