It is performed in the last weeks of pregnancy (after 37
weeks) to evaluate the pelvic bones of the mother, namely the birth path.
According to this examination, the probability of normal delivery is evaluated
before delivery approaches. There is no need for a roof examination in a
patient who is certain to have a cesarean delivery, for example, if there has
been a previous cesarean or twin, triplet pregnancy.
How is a
Pelvis Examination performed?
Pelvic examination is carried out at the normal gynecological
examination table and also in the gynecological examination position. The
doctor evaluates the condition of the pelvis with two fingers. By comparing the
weight and width of the baby's weight with the birth weight, it evaluates
whether normal birth is possible. During the examination of the pelvis done in
the last weeks of pregnancy before the birth begins, the head or other organs
of the baby cannot be touched as the cervix is closed.
Pelvic
stenosis:
If it is determined that pelvic stenosis is found in the
pelvic examination, that the delivery way is too narrow to allow normal birth,
cesarean surgery is planned before normal delivery is tried. However, this is
not always possible, so examination of the pelvis may not always determine the
mode of delivery. In this case, normal delivery is tried and more precise
decision can be made with the examinations performed during the progression of
the delivery. Since the cervix is open during childbirth, both the amount and
condition of opening the cervix and the position of the baby's head can be
evaluated. Therefore, examination of the pelvis during delivery gives clearer
information. However, a pelvic examination performed in the last weeks of
pregnancy before birth is also necessary to give a preliminary idea and perhaps
to notice the patients who cannot give birth normally without trying a normal
birth.
Does pain
or bleeding occur during or after pelvic examination?
Pelvis examination is not a painful examination. Since there
is a stretch in the vagina tissue in the last weeks of pregnancy, vaginal
examination can be performed more comfortably than non-pregnant women. Bleeding
usually does not occur at all, sometimes spotting or a small amount of pink,
red bleeding. Even if there is bleeding, pelvic examination has no harm or
risk, on the contrary, it has benefits.
