Live Demo: Female Pelvic Floor Exam With Translabial Pelvic Floor Muscle Ultrasound (Patreon)

Pelvic floor exams can feel vague, intimidating, or rushed. Most people are never shown what’s actually being assessed or why. In this video, I pull back the curtain and walk you through how a female pelvic floor exam is performed, including how translabial ultrasound is used to evaluate muscle function, tissue health, and pain in a clear, educational way.

This is about demystifying the exam, normalizing the conversation, and helping you better understand your own body. 👉 If you want to see what a transabdominal pelvic ultrasound looks like, click here to watch this video.

In this in-depth walkthrough, I show you exactly how I perform a comprehensive female pelvic floor evaluation, including:

A guided tour of vulvar anatomy and pelvic floor anatomy, explained in plain language

External pelvic floor muscle observation to assess function — contraction, relaxation, and bearing down

How I assess vulvovaginal tissue health, vulvar pain, and signs of hormone-mediated changes

A cotton swab test used for Vulvodynia/Vestibulodynia (vulvar pain) sensitivity screening and pain mapping

Palpation of the external pelvic floor muscles to assess tenderness and overall tone

Translabial ultrasound biofeedback of the levator ani (pelvic floor muscles) to observe movement and coordination

An internal pelvic floor muscle assessment looking at tone, strength, endurance, coordination, mapping internal tender points, and screening for prolapse
