Z01.4: Gynaecological examination (general)(routine)

You had a gynecological examination.

A gynecological examination assesses the external and internal genital organs. The external female genital organs include the labia, the clitoris and the skin around the vagina. The internal female genital organs include the uterus, the fallopian tubes and ovaries. The vagina is also one of the internal genital organs and goes from the uterus to the outside of the body. There is a canal in the cervix that connects the vagina to the inside of the uterus. The orifice at the end of this canal is called the mouth of the womb (ostium uteri). The mouth of the womb is visible during an internal examination of the vagina.
