Utilization of a Mirror During Pelvic Examinations: Does it Improve the Patient’s Experience?

Patients who chose to use the mirror did not demonstrate a difference in pain or vulnerability scores; however, they exhibited benefit to their sense of control and knowledge after the pelvic examination. Although the mirror did not benefit all patients, this is a simple option that could improve the examination experience for some.
