You can't really give yourself a pelvic exam. In order to do a proper exam you need to be able to well visualize the inside of your vagina to see your cervix, and you physically can't maneuver yourself into a position to do that. You also need to use both hands to do some of the maneuvers such as balloting the ovaries, which would be difficult if not impossible. Also, you need some specialized equipment and need to order some tests that you can't get without a medical license. And not to beat a dead horse, but you really do need the knowledge learned in medical school to interpret your findings.
