They’re trained for these things so don’t be shocked if they tell you more about yourself that you’ve told them. 

When you’re pregnant, your cervix takes on a bluish hue thanks to increased blood flow and your gynaecologist can tell. 

However, they’ll most likely only tell you about it if you ask them. 

Thanks to the different colour, consistency and appearance of your discharge, your gynaecologist can probably predict where you are on your cycle and if you’re on birth control. 

Gynaecologists are trained to know your vaginas inside and out and can recognise when estrogen fluctuations cause vaginal dryness – making sex hurt. 

You might be embarrassed by your incontinence issues but your doctor can actually already tell if they are an expert in this field. 

Gynaecologists trained in this area can tell when the muscles in your vaginal walls have been weakened. 

During a bimanual exam, your gynaecologist can check for growths or abnormalities that could happen to your uterus or ovaries. 

This depends highly on whether they give you a pelvic exam or not. 

If you’ve told your gynae that you’re pregnant and if they spot signs of ectopic pregnancy, they might do a pelvic exam on you to check if everything is okay. 

During this time, they’ll check for a dilated cervix because it means a greater likelihood of a miscarriage. 

Your doctor might do a wet mount test to check your vaginal discharge and tell whether there are signs of yeast and other organisms. 

Whether it’s bacterial vaginosis or other types of vaginal infection, your gynaecologists can tell if you’ve got a yeast infection thanks to the appearance of your vulva and the discharge coming out of your vagina.
