How to check the prenatal internal examination of pregnant women

Mothers who have given birth know that before giving birth, they need to do a shy examination, which is the internal examination of the pregnant woman. This examination is to check the condition of the patient's vagina and cervix, and to check whether the vagina can be used for normal delivery. In order to eliminate everyone's doubts about the day before delivery, here is some knowledge about internal examination.

First: About the internal inspection process

Internal examinations are divided into two types: anal examination and vaginal examination. Generally, the chance of infection from anal examination is lower than that from vaginal examination. However, vaginal examination is the most accurate way to judge the conditions of the fetus and expectant mothers, so most hospitals still use vaginal examination more often. First, before the internal examination, the doctor will ask the expectant mothers to empty their bladders. Secondly, the nurse will let the expectant mothers lie flat on the bed, and then bend their legs towards their stomachs to prepare. Next, the doctor will disinfect his hands and use his index and middle fingers to go directly into the vagina to find the cervical opening and judge the opening of the cervix. If the judgment is not clear, he will insert all fingers to make a judgment.

Second: About the feeling of internal examination

Many people say that internal examination is very painful. In fact, this cannot be generalized. Some expectant mothers are naturally more sensitive, so it is normal for them to feel very painful. The internal examination actually focuses on the surrounding tissues, muscles, and the feeling of pulling on the ligaments. If it is particularly painful or terrifying, it really varies from person to person.

Third: Preparation for internal inspection

In fact, there is no need to make any special preparations for internal examination. Women can just do the normal vaginal cleaning procedures. There is no need to change anything specifically for the internal examination. Frequent cleaning and changing of underwear have always been what women have to do to keep their private parts clean, so expectant mothers can just relax in advance. You can learn abdominal breathing. If you really feel that you will feel pain at that time, focus on breathing instead of on the process of internal examination.

Only mothers who give birth naturally will experience internal examination. If you encounter a male doctor during the internal examination, it is quite embarrassing in itself, so many women who have given birth avoid talking about this topic. But it is not to say that internal examination is particularly scary. Expectant mothers should not scare themselves. After understanding the whole process, you should also know whether it will be particularly painful, so you can relax.
