Sponsor's own description
This study compares two different types of speculum insertion to determine the level of discomfort they might cause. This study compares the straight horizontal insertion (SHI) of the speculum and the vertical insertion and rotation (VIR). Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two insertion groups and are not told which group they are in until the examination is over. Participants rate their level of discomfort immediately after insertion of the speculum. Basic demographic information (e.g., age, ethnicity, number of vaginal deliveries, menopausal status, etc.) and clinical information are also collected to determine if other factors influence the level of discomfort experienced. \*NOTE\* This is NOT a paid study.
