In certain cases, the specialist performs ultrasound of the pelvic organs or prescribes additional methods of examination.

In school-age girls, a manual examination is performed on a gynecological chair through the rectum. If you need to examine the vagina and cervix, the gynecologist will use a pediatric vaginal mirror, which is carefully inserted through a hole in the hymen without damaging it. Examination of little girls and girls is carried out only with their voluntary consent.

During the reception, the doctor should also examine the mammary glands, palpate them and regional lymph nodes.
