The Pelvic Floor Exam: What Your Female Patients Can Expect

Today we will be talking about what your patients can expect during a pelvic floor evaluation. We know NPs are pressed for time. Here's our tried and true methodology for quickly and accurately assessing for dysfunction in clinic.

✅ Sitting on your stool with both feet on the floor, take three diaphragmatic breaths with your patient to assess their ability to breathe deeply

✅ If they have difficulty with deep breathing, it means they may not have good motor control over their pelvic floor muscles

✅ Tell your patients what you are finding along the way to help empower them to take control of their health.

✅ Consider using a mirror to to help with an external visual inspection
