During a bimanual vaginal exam, what finding would NOT typically be associated with cervical motion tenderness?

Cervical motion tenderness (CMT) is a clinical sign typically associated with conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and other pelvic inflammatory processes. During a bimanual vaginal exam, CMT is characterized by pain elicited when the cervix is moved, suggesting inflammation or infection in the pelvic region.

A friable cervix refers to a cervix that is easily bruised or bleeds upon contact, often seen in conditions such as cervical ectropion or infections. This finding may accompany CMT because the inflammation can make the cervix more sensitive.

Pain during motion is a hallmark symptom of cervical motion tenderness itself. The very definition of CMT involves the experience of pain when the cervix is moved, making this a classic finding associated with the condition.

Excessive bleeding during the exam could occur in cases involving inflammation or infection, leading to friability of the cervix. This can also be associated with conditions that lead to CMT.

Purulent discharge, while it suggests an infectious process, does not directly indicate cervical motion tenderness itself. While purulent discharge can accompany infections that might cause CMT, it is not a sign of CMT and does not result in pain during the exam. Thus, purulent discharge is
