Patient's question:
What is the reason for the pain when checking below with an dilator? First question supplement: It's not because I'm nervous, it's really painful, and there's also a lot of bleeding.After the doctor's examination, they said I have severe cervical erosion.
Doctor's answer:
When examining the cervix, using a speculum won't be very painful, but it may cause a slight feeling of fullness. First, you should relax and don't get too nervous. The speculum, also known as a duckbill speculum, is a common tool used for vaginal examinations. It is sterilized under high pressure and is sterile. During the examination, the doctor will wear disposable gloves, then slowly and gently place the closed speculum into the vagina, gradually widen it, and secure the opening size to facilitate the examination inside the vagina. The duration won't be very long—usually just two or three minutes.
