The usual required position for a vaginal examination is the lithotomy position, where the patient lies on her back with her legs elevated and supported in stirrups. This allows the healthcare provider to easily access the vaginal area for examination. The Sims position (A) is used for rectal examinations, prone position (B) is lying face down and is not suitable for vaginal examination, and Trendelenburg position (D) is used during surgery and involves the patient being tilted with the head down and feet up.
