How to check pictures of pregnant women

Pregnancy examinations are very common in daily life, because everyone is very worried about their babies. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to go to the hospital for examination. When doing the examination, you also need to have a deep understanding of some of the examination matters, so that you can always grasp your own health problems. So how do pregnant women undergo prenatal internal examinations?

How to check the prenatal internal examination of pregnant women

1. In the later stages of pregnancy, many mothers will undergo an examination, which is an internal examination. Internal examination is also called anal examination and must be carried out regardless of whether you choose natural birth or caesarean section.

2. Vaginal examination. The operator wears sterile gloves on one hand, dips the index and middle fingers in a small amount of sterile testing soap water and inserts it into the female vagina to feel the elasticity and smoothness of the vagina, and to feel any tenderness, deformity, lumps, masses in the posterior fornix of the vagina, and the roundness.

3. Cervical size, softness, mobility, pain, itching, lumps or irregular bleeding, etc.

4. Check the uterus and appendages. Use the vaginal fingers to guide the cervix upward and backward to move the uterus forward. At the same time, place the four fingers of the other hand in the pelvis above the ischial tuberosity and press lightly. Hold the uterus between the hands and move it back and forth to check the position, size, shape, softness, mobility and whether there is any tenderness of the uterus.

What is the purpose of internal inspection?

1. The status of the fetal head position. When the fetal head is not aligned, the shape and size of the pelvis can be understood to estimate whether the fetal head can pass through the vagina and whether there are any problems with natural delivery. If the fetal head is in docked position, the condition of the pelvis below the presenting part can be understood and the mode of delivery can be estimated.

2. The position of the fetal head. The fetal position, cervical dilation, and soft birth anus are not easy to determine through anal examination, so this can be achieved through vaginal examination.

3. Find out the cause of fetal asphyxia. Knowing whether the fetal head position is obstructed, whether there is a birth tumor, whether the fetal umbilical cord has potential prolapse, and whether the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman is contaminated will help to properly deal with intrauterine distress of the fetus.

4. Search for the cause of vaginal bleeding. For vaginal bleeding before and during delivery, anal examination cannot replace vaginal examination, which can provide diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan. However, please note that intravenous access should be activated before the examination, and preparations for intravenous injection and surgery should be made in advance, and the mode of delivery should be decided firmly once the diagnosis is made. In particular, vaginal or anal examinations are strictly prohibited before the placenta previa is removed.

Examination is a very normal thing for pregnant women. No matter what kind of examination it is, we must understand and know it well, which will be very helpful for our own health. Secondly, learning more about these aspects will be very helpful for your inspection at any time, so if you are really responsible for your baby, study hard and so on.
