Best Answer

pelvic exams are usually conducted while you are getting a pap smear. the physician inserts fingers into your vaginal canal and pushes on the abdomen to make sure your uterus and ovaries and normal and not swollen.

i hope you are not confusing a pap smear with a pelvic exam. (this happens a lot)

when getting a pap smear, a speculum will be inserted, the metal or plastic duck-billed thing that allows the dr to see to the back of your vaginal canal where the cervix is located. a long q-tip device is used to collect a culture from the cervix.
