Internal examination is to check the vagina. Generally speaking, there will be no obvious pain, and the possibility of bleeding is not large. Of course, if there is any discomfort in the body, pain may occur. It is recommended that you perform the operation in a safe place, which is good for the patient's health.

What should I pay attention to during internal examination during pregnancy?

1. Don’t hold your urine. Before the examination, if you feel the urge to urinate, go to the bathroom and empty your bladder. Don’t hold it in, otherwise the urine in your bladder will affect the doctor’s examination. Some doctors will understand your feelings while checking. If you feel any pain, you should actively tell the doctor. If you have any questions, don't feel embarrassed and be sure to ask the doctor your questions clearly.

2. The examiner wears sterile gloves on one hand, dips the index and middle fingers in a small amount of sterile test soap water and inserts it into the female vagina to feel the elasticity and smoothness of the vagina, and to check for tenderness, deformity, lumps, masses in the posterior fornix of the vagina, and roundness.

3. The examining doctor stands on the right side of the pregnant woman or faces the pregnant woman, separates the labia with his right hand, and extends the index and middle thumbs of his left hand into the vulva to press toward the anus. If necessary, he can insert his hands into the vagina, and require the right hand to touch the fundus of the uterus. The left hand only moves the fingers to touch, and cannot use force or move the wrist, so that the pregnant woman will not feel discomfort.

Through the above introduction, everyone has a clear understanding of the causes of pain during internal examination during pregnancy. It is recommended that everyone should pay attention to these issues in daily life and develop a good lifestyle, which is better for their health. Of course, when doing these tests, it is best to do them in a reliable hospital, which is better for pregnant women.
