Your gynaecologist may go for vaginal examination by putting in her index and middle finger. She will put gloves on and apply some lubricant gel to her fingers. She will put her other hand on your lower abdomen to feel the uterus. It is readily palpable, if it is anteverted. She will feel the anterior fornix and posterior fornix to find out any pathology. She may feel the enlarged ovaries. Next she will go for per speculum examination. She will put the speculum by putting in the same horizontally and then turning the same vertical. Now she can visualize the vagina as well as the cervix of the uterus.
