Pelvic exams: To visually and physically examine the reproductive organs. Ultrasound: For imaging the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic structures. Pap smear: To collect cells from the cervix for testing. Laparoscopy: Though initially positioned supine, the patient may be tilted during the procedure. Hysteroscopy: To examine the inside of the uterus.
