1. External Examination: The gynecologist examines the external genitalia for any signs of infection or other abnormalities. 2. Speculum Examination: A speculum is inserted into the vagina to inspect the vagina and cervix visually. The gynecologist may also collect samples for Pap smears or other tests. 3. Bimanual Examination: The gynecologist inserts two fingers into the vagina while pressing on the abdomen with the other hand to feel the size, shape, and position of the uterus and ovaries. 4. Rectovaginal Examination: Sometimes, a rectovaginal examination is performed to assess the space between the rectum and vagina and check for any signs of tumors or other abnormalities.
