⑶ Check the uterus and its appendages. Use the fingers in the vagina to push the cervix upward and backward to move the uterine body forward. At the same time, place the four fingers of the other hand on the upper side of the pubic symphysis and press into the pelvic cavity. Hold the uterus between the two hands and move it back and forth to determine the position, size, shape, hardness, mobility and presence of tenderness of the uterus.

Then move two fingers in the vagina to the lateral fornix, and move the hand in the lower abdomen to one side of the pelvic cavity. Check the parauterine tissue, ovaries, and fallopian tubes between the inner and outer hands. Normal fallopian tubes are difficult to palpate, but the ovaries can sometimes be touched, and there is a sore and swollen feeling when pressed.
