A glove-mountable system for pelvic floor muscle (PFM) examination includes a first flexible member including a force sensor configured to detect a force applied to a PFM of a patient by a user. A second flexible member includes an electromyography (EMG) electrode, a stimulation electrode, and a 3-D digitization probe. The second flexible member is stacked on the first flexible member and each flexible member is secured to an examination glove. An actuation button is actuated by the user when at least one point of interest is detected in at least on PFM. A computer including a processor and a memory is in communication with the first flexible member, the second flexible member and the actuation button. The computer generates a 3-D map of a plurality of PFMs of the patient based on data received from the first flexible member, the second flexible member and the actuation button.
