Female hernia exam

Is there a female version of the male turn your head and cough exam for a hernia? Some time ago I thought there was a video of this,but I can't seem to find it any longer.

I've seen that video too, and I even think I downloaded it. I'll try to look for it, and post it if I find it.

Is this the one you're thinking of?

Jump to about 16:35 for the female hernia exam.

Thanks! I've been searching for this for awhile

How do you get it to play?

Never had that type of hernia test before, but my doctor did test me for an umbilical hernia. I am really skinny and my navel is really shallow and I complain a lot about stomach pain, so he tested it. he had me lay down on the exam table and then pressed 2 fingers into my navel and had me try to sit up, then he had me lay back down and with his two fingers pressed into my navel he had me cough again. Then he had me stand up and pressed his finger into my navel and told me to cough. he also examined my navel and tried to pop it out. it was a really interesting exam

Fascinating! I've never heard of that procedure before! It sounds interesting. What was the examination like when he tried to pop out your navel?

HI Matt, How do we view that video? Thanks.

Please tell us!

Just copy the link (starting with "mms://" ending with ".wmv") and paste it into your browser.

I tried that but it downloads the video to Windows media player and won't play there as it needs some component.

Hi,

It doesn't work for me either. "Can't connect to the media"

It works now! I had to download VLC player online, but it's well worth it!!!!!! 😃

I'd like to see the video as well.
