Gynecological examination with vaginal dilator is very painful

Almost all women will be troubled by gynecological diseases, but gynecological diseases can be divided into mild and severe, so gynecological examination is a must for every woman every year, especially vaginal examination is the most important. Some items in the examination require the use of a vaginal dilator, but when suffering from some gynecological diseases, using a vaginal dilator for examination will cause some pain. At this time, you must communicate with the doctor in time. As long as there is no tearing or bleeding, it will not cause harm.

Why does it hurt to use a vaginal dilator during a gynecological examination?

The vaginal dilator is commonly known as the vaginal expander in clinical practice. It is generally made of materials such as polystyrene and polypropylene, and will not cause any irritation to the female vagina. The vaginal dilator is mainly composed of two pages and a handle, and its combination method is very simple. In clinical practice, vaginal speculum is mainly used for routine gynecological examinations, and may also be used in some gynecological surgeries.

During the examination, the doctor will choose the length and blade width of the dilator according to the actual situation of the woman. As a medical device commonly used in gynecological examinations, the pain caused to the examinee during the examination is generally very small and is generally within the range that ordinary people can bear.

When a woman has vaginal inflammation or other gynecological inflammation, her vagina will become extremely sensitive, and even the slightest squeeze or touch will be extremely painful. Some women with severe vaginal inflammation may even experience bleeding after a dilator examination.

What should I do if it hurts to check the vaginal dilator for leucorrhea?

1. Many people will involve routine leucorrhea testing during gynecological examinations. When doing routine leucorrhea testing, it is necessary to use a dilator to stretch the vaginal opening and then take some leucorrhea samples. Many people will feel some pain in this process. In fact, this is also a very normal phenomenon. Because the size of the dilator is slightly larger than the normal size of the vagina, many people will feel obvious pain.

2. Before the examination, you can ask the doctor to apply some lubricant on the loudspeaker. If you are well prepared, the pain will be relatively mild when the loudspeaker is inserted. If there is only obvious pain at the vaginal opening and there is no tearing or bleeding, it will not cause much harm to the body.

3. When using a dilator to examine your lower body, you must be careful not to be too nervous. Because when your body and nerves are highly tense, your reaction to pain will double, so you will feel that the pain in your body has become very intense. In fact, the real pain may not be that intense. Most of the time it is just the result of excessive nerve tension.

How to use the vaginal dilator:

1. Generally speaking, a vaginal dilator is actually a very thin duckbill clip. For single use only. Made of highly transparent polystyrene, available in large, medium and small sizes. The packaging includes bags, plastic composite film, and paper plastic. When using, the appropriate size speculum should be selected according to the patient's vaginal relaxation.

2. When using a vaginal speculum, the clinician first closes the two leaves of the vaginal speculum, tightens the middle screw, loosens the side screws, and then rubs the front ends of the two leaves with a lubricant such as paraffin oil or soapy water to reduce the patient's discomfort during insertion.

3. The process of using a vaginal dilator requires cooperation between the doctor and the patient. If the patient feels pain or nervousness during use, it is normal for women. At this time, the most important thing for the patient is to relax herself, otherwise it will be difficult for the doctor to perform the examination smoothly. In addition, in terms of posture, try to open your legs a little bit to open the entire vaginal opening, so that the doctor can help with the examination more easily.

1. In fact, the vaginal dilator is much smaller than the penis, and generally using a vaginal dilator will not cause any negative effects.

2. Be careful not to use a dilator for examination on your own to avoid infection.
