A member asked:
Has a doctor ever used an otoscope (think it was an otoscope) to examine your urethra?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea: Unless it was used in place of a flashlight. Urologists & uro-gynecologists use a cystoscope to examine urethras, that is the instrument to examine the entire urethra in women & men. Otoscopes are designed for examining the auditory canals and ear drums.
