agree  Andrey Kirsanov
14 mins
neutral  JudyC: Seems to be mostly used in physiotherapy, where it corresponds to history, but I don't think a woman can "report" on her own portio
46 mins
disagree  Lirka: with Judy, not Subjective

disagree  EleoE: With Judy and Lirka.

  -> You all are probably right. I was using a different logic here. Subjective as opposed to objective.

external examination


Explanation:
ES = esame esterno.
I think they're referring to a visual inspection before using any instruments.

"Esame esterno. Il ginecologo esamina i genitali esterni, per controllare che non ci siano segni d’infezione, gonfiori, escrescenze, ulcere o piaghe.
Esame interno. Si divide in due momenti:
Esame con lo speculum:
lo speculum è uno strumento che, inserito nella vagina, consente di vedere chiaramente il collo dell’utero e le pareti vaginali, ed eventuali anomalie presenti (per esempio erosioni, escrescenze o infiammazioni)
Esame bimanuale:
il ginecologo manualmente valuta la forma, consistenza, posizione e mobilità dell’utero; controlla lo stato delle ovaie e delle tube."

agree  Lirka: Thjs is highly likely. // You are right. The only possible other option would be Screening with Pap, but there's a bit of guessing involved. Screening first and the [objective] PE, which normally includes speculum examination anyway.
2 hrs
  -> Thanks! My doubt about the other options is that ES is followed by "esame obiettivo ginecologico". // Plus there's no mention of any procedure, just results of visual inspection... I think, but then, I'm not a doctor!
agree  texjax DDS PhD: Most likely
3 hrs
  -> Thanks!
agree  EleoE: Yes, very likely. "esame speculare" = ES.
4 hrs

Screening exam


Explanation:
An alternative to Judy's answer (which is likely), should context speak for it.

Screening with Pap followed by EOG (general/gyn PE), which usually includes a speculum exam.

We need to keep in mind, though, that we're dissecting this mathematically now, but the doc writing this may be much less analytical.

disagree  EleoE: No, ES is "esame speculare".
2 hrs
  -> Given my agree with Judy, and the fact that nothing in medicine is 100%...hmm, never mind. Unimportant.
