A member asked:

Pain when gynecologist moves my womb in pelvic exam. what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pelvic Exam: It is quite common to experience pain and discomfort during a pelvic exam. If this never happened before, it might signify a low grade infection of the adnexal sfructures (broad ligament, fallopian tubes, ovaries). I would definitely discuss this with your gynecologist.
