a big one you can see on vag exam...but a tiny one sometimes just putting ones finger in the rectum with the speculum sideways..or making the posterior vag wall visible and stretched it is possible to see a tiny pink bit of rectal mucosa pouting out ..the one can try and gently pass a lacrimal probe... if it is really high up it is a lot more difficult to find...but the ones i have seen have not been very high if they have been related to childbirth. the high ones seem to have been related to hysts...radiation etc. frances wren

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
