Why can gynecological mirrors be used?
First of all, the gynecological mirror is used during the examination of the cervix, as well as the vaginal vaults. In this case, mirrors of a spoon-shaped shape are used, which allow completely to expose the entrance to the vagina.
What are the types of gynecological mirrors?
If almost every girl has an idea of what a gynecological mirror looks like, few people know about what their kinds are like.
As already mentioned above, this tool has a different shape and diameter, depending on which the sizes are different, - 1-6. The choice of instrument in each case depends on the parameters of the female pelvis, as well as the capacity of the vagina. During the study, they use spoon-shaped mirrors, first withdrawing the back wall of the vagina, and under the front, the so-called lift is introduced.
Simon's stiff mirrors have 2 spoons, each of which is equipped with a handle. In this case, one spoon has a groove, the other is flat. Depending on the width, similar tools are available in 2 and 3 sizes.
Ott's often used mirror-lift differs in that the spoon-shaped part can have a different size (from 1 to 4), and a flat plate is fixed with a screw directly to the chute.
In order not to keep the mirror permanently, if you need to examine with your hands, use a double mirror in Cuzco. As a rule, it is used in the analysis (smears on the flora, taking the uterine secret, etc.). Depending on the size of the valves, gynecology uses double-winged mirrors with a size of 1 to 3.
In those cases where there is a need for broad access to internal genital organs, use flat Douaien mirrors. For examination of nulliparous women I use a gynecological mirror of a smaller size.
What kind of mirrors are used to inspect girls?
To study the condition of internal genital organs, girls use children's gynecological mirrors. Typically, such a tool has a constant width of the working part, which reduces the risk of injury to the vagina and hymen. In addition, the usually child gynecological mirror has a flat shape.
If you need a detailed examination, most often used vaginoscope, which allows you to assess the condition of internal organs.
