Speculoscopy is a medical procedure that involves the use of a speculum to examine the cervix and vagina. It is often used in conjunction with a Pap smear to screen for cervical cancer.
Procedure[edit | edit source]
During a speculoscopy, a healthcare provider will insert a speculum into the vagina. This device is used to widen the vaginal walls, allowing for a clear view of the cervix and vagina. The provider will then examine these areas for any abnormalities.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Speculoscopy is primarily used as a screening tool for cervical cancer. It can help detect precancerous changes in the cervix that may not be visible during a regular pelvic exam. It can also be used to diagnose other conditions, such as vaginitis or vaginal atrophy.
Risks and Complications[edit | edit source]
While speculoscopy is generally considered safe, it can cause some discomfort. Some women may experience pain or bleeding after the procedure. There is also a small risk of infection.
