A member asked:
Why does the gynecologist have you urinate before starting the exam?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Examination: Having a full bladder can make the exam uncomfortable for the patient, as well as make it more difficult to find any abnormalities. Also, the urinalysis can be useful in diagnosing other potential problems.
