Most doctors will not see you before 8 weeks, so there may be some evidence by then.
the doctor would perform a vaginal exam and inspect the cervix and palpate the height of the uterus depending on the time of the last period.
BV can't be detected by a urine test. BV is found physical exam, pH testing of the vaginal fluid, or microscopic exam of the fluid, or a combination of these.
The cervix gets softer when pregnant and if the examiner puts one hand in the vagina and one on the abdomen the pregnant uterus can be felt between the two hands. There is no reason to do a vaginal exam during pregnancy. A urine test is usually done to tell if a woman is pregnant, and sometimes a blood test to confirm. A vaginal check is usually done at the beginning of the pregnancy to check on the health of the vagina, not to check for pregnancy.
do you need a vaginal exam if you have had a complete hysterectomy
No and men do not need a prostate exam either.
No. It takes a doctor's exam.
Many of the signs related to pregnancy (frequent urination, tender breasts, exhaustion) can be experienced for a variety of reasons, specifically premenstrual syndrome. The only definitive way to confirm that you are pregnant is to take a home pregnancy test and have the results confirmed by your doctor (via blood test, pelvic exam, and/or Doppler ultrasound.) If you have had a positive pregnancy test and experience vaginal bleeding, contact your ob/gyn immediately. You may be experiencing a miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) or other bleeding related to implantation or early pregnancy.
It's scary but yes it's normal (it happened to me each time and my kids are fine)
No. Neither should a vaginal ultrasound be done. There is a significant risk of damaging the placenta.
Pain that is heavy cramping and accompanied by bloody discharge or bleeding like having a period could indicate a miscarriage. It is difficult to tell that early in a pregnancy unless you have a doctor's exam.
a vaginal discharge can be caused by a number of factors at any age. The best thing to do is see a doctor for a proper exam.
you may have what you think is a bad period and it could be a early miscarriage or a chemical pregnancy. You should go to a doctor to make sure, they can see if you have the pregnancy hormone in your blood or if you have any evidence of a miscarriage through an exam.
