Men and women have anatomical differences when it comes to genitals, but orgasms are fundamentally very similar. The female orgasm lasts longer than the male, ranging about 20 seconds compared to 3 to 10 seconds, but men do experience more orgasms.
This video records a childbirth in which the mother describes intense, pleasurable sensations during labor — a phenomenon sometimes called orgasmic or ecstatic birth. It is presented for childbirth education. For learning purposes only — not medical advice.
This video records a water birth, with delivery taking place in a birthing pool, and follows the final stage of labor through the baby's first moments. It offers students and expectant parents a clear look at how water births are supported and managed. For learning purposes only — not medical advice.
Anoscopy performed with the patient in the jackknife position is demonstrated in this educational video. Anoscopy uses a short, lighted instrument to examine the anal canal and lower rectum. A clinical-skills resource for students of colorectal examination. Educational only — not medical advice.
A clinician demonstrates proctoscope examination of the rectum. He introduces the rigid proctoscope and its light, explains the small amount of air used for a clearer view, and discusses follow-up and referral for sigmoidoscopy. It is an educational demonstration in Physical Examination.
ectal exam is an internal examination of the rectum such as by a physician or other healthcare professional.
The digital rectal examination (DRE, Latin palpatio per anum or PPA) is a relatively simple procedure. The patient is placed in a position where the anus is accessible and relaxed (lying on the side, squatting on the examination table, bent over the examination table, etc). The physician inserts a gloved and lubricated finger into the rectum through the anus and palpates the insides.
The DRE is inadequate as a screening tool for colorectal cancer because it examines less than 10% of the colorectal mucosa; colonoscopy is preferred. However, it's an important part of a general examination, as many tumors or other diseases are made manifest in the distal part of the rectum.
This examination may be used: * for the diagnosis of rectal tumors and other forms of cancer; * in males, for the diagnosis of prostatic disorders, notably tumors and benign prostatic hyperplasia; * for the diagnosis of appendicitis or other examples of an acute abdomen (i.e. acute abdominal symptoms indicating a serious underlying disease); * for the estimation of the tonicity of the anal sphincter, which may be useful in case of fecal incontinence or neurologic diseases, including traumatic spinal cord injuries; * in females, for gynecological palpations of internal organs * for examination of the hardness and color of the feces (ie. in cases of constipation, and fecal impaction); * prior to a colonoscopy or proctoscopy. * to evaluate haemorrhoids
The DRE is frequently combined with an FOBT (fecal occult blood test), which may be useful for diagnosing the etiology of an anemia and/or confirming a gastrointestinal bleed.
Sometimes proctoscopy may also be part of a rectal examination.
A rectal examination performed by proctoscopy is demonstrated in this physical examination video. The recording shows assessment of the rectum with the patient in the jackknife position. It is a training resource for students learning gastrointestinal examination skills. The content is offered for educational purposes for learners in health fields.
-A finding of ASC on cytology requires further investigation to exclude precancerous lesions. Recommendations differ for women age 21 -24 and those age ;::25. For women age 21 -24 with ASCUS or low-grade squamous intraepitheliallesion (LSIL), current guidelines recommend repeating Pap smear in one year. In this younger patient population, HPV infection is transient and malignant transformation is rare. Therefore, colposcopy is not performed unless the patient demonstrates ASC-US or LSIL on 3
A complete pelvic examination is demonstrated here as a teaching tutorial, including the bimanual examination of the female pelvis. The video walks through the exam in the order a clinician performs it, making it a useful study resource for medical students. Educational only — not medical advice.
Part 2 of this educational video shows the dilatation and curettage (D&C) procedure, a gynecological operation used to sample or clear the uterine lining. It demonstrates the instruments and steps involved for clinicians and students. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) is shown step by step in this gynecology video, from preparing the instruments to positioning the device inside the uterus. The IUD is a long-acting, reversible form of contraception fitted during a short clinic procedure. A learning resource for students and patients. Educational only — not medical advice.
Training for medical assistants, this video explains the gynaecological examination. It covers the purpose of breast and pelvic examination, preparing a warmed speculum and Pap test supplies, assisting during the examination, and handling the specimen and room afterwards. It is a practical guide to examination support in the medical office.
Inguinal hernia Diagram of an indirect, scrotal inguinal hernia ( median view from the left). Diagram of an indirect, scrotal inguinal hernia ( median view from the left). By far the most common hernias (up to 75% of all abdominal hernias) are the so-called inguinal hernias. For a thorough understanding of inguinal hernias, much insight is needed in the anatomy of the inguinal canal. Inguinal hernias are further divided into the more common indirect inguinal hernia (2/3, depicted here), in which the inguinal canal is entered via a congenital weakness at its entrance (the internal inguinal ring), and the direct inguinal hernia type (1/3), where the hernia contents push through a weak spot in the back wall of the inguinal canal. Inguinal hernias are more common in men than women while femoral hernias are more common in women.
