Fallopian tubes are rarely palpable, and palpation of the ovaries depends on the patient's age and size. Move the intravaginal hand to the right lateral fornix, and the hand on the abdomen to the right lower quadrant just inside the anterior iliac spine. Press deeply inward and upward toward the abdominal hand. Push inward and downward with the abdominal hand and try to catch the ovary between your fingertips.
