Vaginal delivery is the most common and safest type of childbirth. When necessary in certain circumstances, forceps (instruments resembling large spoons) may be used to cup your baby's head and help guide the baby through the birth canal. Vacuum delivery is another way to assist delivery and is similar to forceps delivery. In vacuum delivery, a plastic cup is applied to the baby's head by suction and the health care provider gently pulls the baby from the birth canal.
Examination of a femoral hernia is shown in this brief surgical examination clip. The recording presents how the groin area is assessed when a femoral hernia is suspected. It is an educational example for students learning hernia examination technique. It can support classroom teaching and independent study in this subject area.
A routine Pap smear and pelvic examination for screening is demonstrated in this gynecology video. The recording shows the collection of a cervical sample and the accompanying pelvic assessment. It is an educational resource for clinicians and students learning cervical screening examination technique.
The baby will move head down if there is room or if there is tone in the support to the uterus to direct baby head down. Before 24-26 weeks most babies lie diagonal or sideways in the Transverse Lie position. Between 24-29 weeks most babies turn vertical and some will be breech.

Palpation for abdominal masses is demonstrated in this physical examination video. The examiner shows how the abdomen is felt by hand to detect any masses during assessment. The recording is a training resource for students learning abdominal examination technique. It can support classroom teaching and independent study in this subject area.
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.
