speculum examination

Peer comment(s):

agree Lirka : Thjs is highly likely. // You are right. The only possible other option would be Screening with Pap, but there's a bit of guessing involved. Screening first and the [objective] PE, which normally includes speculum examination anyway.

Thanks! My doubt about the other options is that ES is followed by "esame obiettivo ginecologico". // Plus there's no mention of any procedure, just results of visual inspection... I think, but then, I'm not a doctor!
agree texjax DDS PhD : Most likely

agree EleoE : Yes, very likely. "esame speculare" = ES.

neutral JudyC : Seems to be mostly used in physiotherapy, where it corresponds to history, but I don't think a woman can "report" on her own portio

disagree Lirka : with Judy, not Subjective

disagree EleoE : With Judy and Lirka.

You all are probably right. I was using a different logic here. Subjective as opposed to objective.

external examination

ES = esame esterno.
I think they're referring to a visual inspection before using any instruments.

"Esame esterno. Il ginecologo esamina i genitali esterni, per controllare che non ci siano segni d’infezione, gonfiori, escrescenze, ulcere o piaghe.
Esame interno. Si divide in due momenti:
Esame con lo speculum:
lo speculum è uno strumento che, inserito nella vagina, consente di vedere chiaramente il collo dell’utero e le pareti vaginali, ed eventuali anomalie presenti (per esempio erosioni, escrescenze o infiammazioni)
Esame bimanuale:
il ginecologo manualmente valuta la forma, consistenza, posizione e mobilità dell’utero; controlla lo stato delle ovaie e delle tube."

neutral JudyC : I'm not sure they'd see the cervix (portio regolare)

disagree EleoE : The portio cannot be seen with an external exam.

Screening exam

An alternative to Judy's answer (which is likely), should context speak for it.

Screening with Pap followed by EOG (general/gyn PE), which usually includes a speculum exam.

We need to keep in mind, though, that we're dissecting this mathematically now, but the doc writing this may be much less analytical.

Peer comment(s):

disagree EleoE : No, ES is "esame speculare".
2 hrs
Given my agree with Judy, and the fact that nothing in medicine is 100%...hmm, never mind. Unimportant.
