GYNECOLOGIC EXAMINATION
The gynecologic exam refers to the examination of a woman’s reproductive system, this includes examination of the abdomen and pelvic organs. However, many gynecologic problems have symptoms that involve other organ systems. The gynecologist should be ready to perform a general physical examination.


The standard techniques of auscultation, palpation, and percussion are used during an abdominal examination.
The examiner will note abdominal swelling, bruising, scars, stoma, hernia or any other visible external sign in the abdomen
Auscultation refers to the use of a stethoscope to listen to sounds from the abdomen. It aids in the assessment of abdominal sound and abdominal bruits.
Grumbling bowel sounds or high pitched-noises may indicate a bowel obstruction.
Diarrhea is associated with increased bowel sounds. If bowel sound is absent, it may indicate paralytic ileus or peritonitis
