I think it's probably due to finding a prolapse?  Did you not ask  ::)

Was the procedure OK otherwise?

It's to see how far your cervix drops probably to check for the beginning of a prolapse although it's better to check while you are standing up - obviously not mid-smear though!!

I had to ask her if I'd heard her right and that she wanted me to cough?? I had visions in my head of men being asked the same  ;D I said I've never been asked to cough before and she seemed quite shocked but said it makes the cervix drop a little??

Think I might have burst out laughing at that request. Well I never.  ;)

At least you managed to ask  :D ………. why didn't she way 'I need you to cough because ' ….. no bedside manner there then  ::)
