Did you know you can insert your own speculum during a pelvic exam?
Or that in some cases, there may be options that don’t require a speculum in the way most people expect?
These kinds of choices matter. Especially for women who’ve had uncomfortable or rushed experiences in the past.
You deserve care that centers your comfort and your consent. You should be able to ask questions, move at your own pace, and feel like you have some control over what’s happening.
If you’ve been avoiding these visits because they felt too clinical or too impersonal, it’s worth knowing there’s another way to approach them.
It matters to me that every person feels safe, respected, and actually listened to during their visit. That’s the standard of care I believe in.
