I went to Jasin Hospital today. I spent the whole morning in OPD with the specialist and got to do a few stuffs. O&G posting is relaxing but I dont quite like it because the lecturer doesn't finish the class early and just now we only had 20 minutes for lunch break :(
Today I got to do the 4 Obstetric grips oa pregnant woman in the OPD. That was the first time ever that I managed to feel for the fetal parts. It was a good experiance. And I'm having the feeling I might be very interested in taking this field especially because the women are always easy with me.
When I was doing the 4 Obstetric grips I got to know where the baby's body parts are. Like where is his head, his limbs, and his back andbuttocks. After knowing the baby's position in the womb I got to listen to his heart beat using this Fetal Doppler. Their normal heart rate is much faster than us adults. Theirs are around 160beats per minute.
And I also saw pap smear procedure. This procedure is done to detect any cancerous growth in the cervix. Cervical cancer is easily detected by doing pap smear and women who are sexually active and who are in post menopausal age should do this pap smear once a year at least. This if done can help reduce the mortality caused by cervical cancer a lot lot more because cervical cancer is easily curable if it is detected at early stage.
