[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had a lot of things going on with my uterus and ovaries-large things (cysts, chocolate cysts, fibroids), small things (polyp) NONE of which was found via "pelvic" exam. None. [/quote] Logic would have me believe that pelvic exams are helpful. Yet, my large fibroid was only found on ultrasound. Worse, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 uterine cancer a few months after a pelvic exam. When she was diagnosed by scan, the mass was enormous. She was symptomatic when she had her pelvic exam so it is unbelievable that the gyn didn’t find anything suspicious. This is why I always ask for an ultrasound if there are concerns. Perhaps some gynecologists rush through these exams or need better training. My gynecologist told me that it’s also difficult to perform an exam on an obese patient which I admit I am. [/quote]
