檢查程式
性科學檢查即意欲使女性熟悉自己的性器官和對檢查的反應。因此，檢查時給被檢查女子一面手鏡，在醫生首先檢查她是否有陰蒂粘連時，讓她觀察自己的外部性器官。陰蒂粘連可能極大地降低性快樂，如果發現有陰蒂粘連，則應該松解粘連。

下一步，醫生用一根手指探測陰道。這樣做的目的是為了查明該女子是否能夠確認和控制其陰道肌肉。阿諾德 H. 戈基爾(Arnold H.Kegel)發現陰道主要有兩個區域會產生預期的反應：
如果把整個會陰比作一個鐘錶盤，肛門區代表6點，而陰蒂頭代表12點，這兩個區域就在深入陰道兩個指節深度的4點和8點的部位。在這兩個區域，該女子應該能夠感到有反應。

這兩個區域的反應與環繞陰道的肌肉強度有關。

Procedure
A sexological examination is meant to familiarize women with their own sex organs and sexual response. Therefore, the woman being examined is given a hand-held mirror allowing her to look at her sex organs while the doctor first looks for clitoral adhesions. These can greatly impair sexual enjoyment and, if they are found, they should be removed.

Next,  the doctor will probe the vagina, inserting a finger. The purpose here is to find out whether the woman is able to identify and control her vaginal muscles. Arnold Kegel discovered that there are mainly two vaginal areas where a response can be expected:
If one compares the entire vaginal area with the face of a clock with the anus representing 6 o'clock and the glans of the clitoris 12 o'clock, the two areas are located two finger joints deep inside the vagina at roughly 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock respectively. In these areas the woman should feel responsive.

The responsiveness in these two areas is related to the firmness of the muscles surrounding the vagina.
