An internal exam is never required at our clinic — your comfort and consent always come first. We can perform thorough external assessments if you prefer. However, an internal evaluation is often recommended because it gives us the most accurate understanding of how your pelvic floor muscles are working.
Think of it like coming to physiotherapy for a knee injury: we could assess you while you’re wearing jeans, but it’s much easier — and more precise — if you’re in shorts. The same principle applies here. We’ll always explain the process in detail and only proceed if you feel fully informed and comfortable.
