Does a doctor usually ask a patient to tighten her pelvic muscles while his/her finger is inside the vagina as part of exam? I've heard you can ask the doctor to exam to see how tight the vagina is, especially for someone after giving birth. Just wondering if this kind of exam is indeed perfomed, then is it done as a part of bi-manual exam or a separate exam? How many times will you have to tighten the muscle? Does the doctor move the finger around as you tighten it?
