why use a nasal speculum
There are different speculum sizes for women depending on whether or not they've had sexual intercourse and how frequently. Doctors use the speculum to gain greater access to, or more easily observe, the vagina, rectum or other body opening. Different speculum sizes and shapes make gynecological exams as comfortable as possible. Gynecologists use a speculum to examine a patient's cervix. An ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist may use a nasal speculum to diagnose a patient who suffers from chronic sinusitis. A nasal speculum is often used to check for the cause of severe sinus pain and pressure.
