Recently, there is a topic that has been hotly discussed on major social platforms - that is, the problem of "duckbill pliers" (vaginal speculum) commonly used in gynecological examinations.
Many girls said that just seeing this strangely shaped medical device made them feel a psychological panic.
Not to mention that when it is actually used on one's own body, it often brings severe pain and discomfort.
Some sisters simply described it as "a torture instrument for contemporary women"!
I myself have had several gynecological examinations using "duckbill pliers", and each time I have to deal with it with a heart.
Even though I had learned about the process beforehand, I still couldn't help but feel nervous and scared when it came to dilating my vagina.
Although the examination did not take long, the hot pain did make my heart palpitate.
Looking back, I was in a state of extreme physical and mental tension.
Even though the doctor was very skillful, I still couldn't avoid the sharp pain of tearing.
When I walked out of the hospital, I felt so weak that I didn't want to do this kind of test again for a long time.
I'm sure many of us will have a similar shadow for "duckbill pliers", right?
Although this device is very helpful for doctors to diagnose and treat, it undoubtedly increases the pain and fear of the examination for us women.
To put it bluntly, the design of the "duckbill pliers" is really inhumane!
Where does its cold, hard, and temperatureless material and shape reflect the respect and tolerance for women?
Every time we open our legs and use it, it's like taking away our dignity.
After the examination, there are often abrasions left on the vagina, and the pain is unbearable, which affects work and life.
What's more, it may also cause complications such as tearing and bleeding of the vaginal wall.
This condition is more common in young women or mothers who have a sensitive intimate area.
It can be seen that "duckbill pliers" have an innegligible harm to women's health.
It brings us not only physical pain, but also psychological shadows and pressure.
In the long run, this will greatly increase women's fear and avoidance of gynecological examinations.
Of course, we understand that gynecological examinations are important to maintain women's health, and hospitals and doctors have the need for examinations.
However, with this innovation and outdated "duckbill pliers" equipment, it is imperative to give women a comfortable and friendly examination environment!
Fortunately, there are many outstanding researchers and enterprises who are committed to innovation in this area.
They are exploring more skin-friendly materials, optimizing designs to reduce pain, and even developing new endoscopes that don't require vaginal dilation.
We expect that in the near future, these new humanized devices will be able to replace the "duckbill pliers" and be widely used in clinical practice, so that women's examinations will no longer be a nightmare.
