A member asked:
Hello! i was wondering if the extreme pain i experienced today when the speculum was taken out, could be caused by it pinching something inside of me?

Possibly: It might have caught some tissue and pinched it. If vagina was particularly dry - there could have been friction. If speculum was overly large - it might have been a tight fit.
