kbordson 8 #6 February 4, 2008 Pelvic examination -Positioning the patient Raise the patients head so that eye contact is possible. Put your hand at the end of the table over the sheet and have the patient move down until she feels your hand. Drape the sheet around the legs and arrange so that you can see the patient and only the perineum is visible. Tell the patient you are going to touch her and touch her on her leg or thigh Ask her to move her legs out to “here”--and show her how wide. Tips to make the experience tolerable for the patient Don’t say things like “spread your legs” or “it looks good” Say “let your legs relax--out to here” and show her and “everything looks healthy” Try to avoid talking about the “blades” or the speculum (ouch!). Call them “bills” like a bird. Use firm pressure, not a light tickling touch Talk to the patient and tell her what you are doing. Look at the patient when you ask her a question, if you can. But, maintain eye contact and and stay in touch with the patient’s response. Be sensitive. Speculum examination: -Put pressure on the perineum -Insert speculum at an oblique angle -Insert completely -Allow the patient and her vagina to relax -Open the “bills” of the speculum -If you can not visualize the cervix, adjust the speculum. Remove the speculum and palpate, if necessary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NtheSeaOrSky 0 #13 February 4, 2008 Quote Open the “bills” of the speculum they forgot to add: For victims...er....patients who have not yet popped something the size of a prize winning watermelon out of their vagina, slow incremental pressure is tolerated much better than a sudden radical opening that would allow the patient to turn her whole body inside out through the newly created opening secondary to that separation. I'm just sayin' Life is not fair and there are no guarantees... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbordson 8 #21 February 5, 2008 Broke: are you asking me or cocheese? I have seen those retracors and yes, many instruments in medicine look quite horrific. Luckily I haven't had to use them. . . yet. Simplyputsi: There is laser hair removal and IPL (intense pulsed light). Personally I only have experience with IPL. And there are threads in the womens forum on it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbordson 8 #23 February 5, 2008 QuoteHi Doc, When asked to "cough" why do I also have to turn my head and what exactly is being felt? Is this some sort of self-exam I should/could be doing? edited for spelling. It's checking for an inguinal hernia. This link discusses Male Genital Examination Procedure (which, being a gynecologist, I generally don't do. . . professionally) If you start feeling added pressure/swelling down there, call for an appointment. This is something that needs to be looked at. Depending on the size of the hernia, if the bowel gets trapped in the ring and can't move freely back to the abdomen, it can become incarcerated and cut off it's blood supply. This is bad. edit to add - turn your head so you don't cough on us! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
