A member asked:

I feel a bump on my posterior fornix in my vagina. will a doctor be able to see my fornix even if the cervix is in the way during a normal pelvic exam?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likely: adjustments in the speculum should allow a gynecologist to see the area of concern. Your GYN might need to palpate the area as well with a bimanual exam
