Pelvic Exam Clinical Trial
Official title:
Utilization of the Mirror During Pelvic Exams: Does it Reduce Patient Vulnerability and Discomfort?
This is a prospective cohort study to determine if using a birthing mirror during the patient's pelvic examination decreases patients's degree of vulnerability and discomfort.
In Obstetrics and Gynecology and its gynecologic subspecialties, the pelvic examination is
routine practice for screening and diagnostic purposes. Nevertheless, due to their intimate
nature, pelvic examinations may result in loss of control, embarrassment, discomfort and
anxiety.
The mirror pelvic exam has been a proposed technique to decrease patient anxiety and improve
comfort during an already uncomfortable examination. However, little research has focused on
this modality to date.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the mirror pelvic exam decreases the
level of vulnerability and discomfort experienced during the pelvic examination.
