Like many countries in the world, governments in U.S. states have also mobilized to legalize medical examination of women’s lower body parts and it is likely to be legalized in more states soon.
The women’s lower body test is called the pelvic exam and is partially legal in 20 out of 50 u.S. states.
However, now that diseases or medical complications have increased among women, the state governments want the students there to excel in this field as well.
Usually pelvic examination or lower body of women are examined by obstetric doctors, but they also do a limited number of examinations, because the process is seen as embarrassing and the consent of patients is not taken before doing such a test.
But now several U.S. states are legalizing pelvic exams and allowing every woman to sign a consent to such an examination when going to the hospital so that medical students and doctors can perform such examinations without any hassle.
According to the Associated Press (AP), the governor of Montana state signed a law in April on the examination of women’s lower body, after which more states are now engaged in making such laws.
Other states, including Missouri, Ohio and Colorado, are expected to pass similar laws soon.
According to the rules, all women coming to the hospital will be examined during pelvic examination if needed and they will be informed in writing before the said test and their signature will be taken for their consent.
The above process will be exactly the same as now at the time of admission to the hospital, the patient or his heirs write to the hospital in writing that they know the complications of their patient and they will not obstruct the treatment, the hospital staff is allowed to do all kinds of treatment.
Once these laws are passed, not only doctors but also medical students will be able to examine the lower part of women’s body for learning.
The lower part of the body will be examined from women’s vagina, ovaries or uterus to intestines, but if needed, doctors or students will also be able to expand the scope of the test.
At present, there is no law for the above test in many states of the United States, so doctors there examine patients briefly in an unconscious state without informing them, in which they also face fear and fear that action can be taken against them if the patient or his heirs know.
Apart from the United States, such tests do not have legal status in other countries, while in Islamic countries like Pakistan, such tests are considered valid.
Not only In Pakistan, but other countries in the region, including India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, China and Sri Lanka, such inspections are considered to be necessary.
