Firstly starting with patient’s history if patient has any complains going about with the chief complain,history of present illness, then asking patient’s menstrual history which includes type of flow,colour and last menstrual cycle,sexual history,presence of discharge and the colour of discharge (green,frothy white etc) ( some amount of discharge is normal )
then an inspection and palpation of external genitalia is done to check if it’s there’s any swelling or redness or any infection ,size of vaginal opening ,Speculum examination,bimanual examination
Mons pubis is also checked and assessed to check any infestation is present or not

Answer:

a thorough physical examination of the reproductive tract includes a complete history, general physical examination, and evaluation of the external and internal genitalia. Ancillary tests that can be applied to this system include uterine culture, biopsy, cytology, and lavage.
