A member asked:
I had the d&c and novasure procedures in jan 2012. would it be safe if i got my own vaginal speculum and did my own exam at home or would it hurt me?

What would you be looking for? Self examination is not a practical option. You should be getting PAP smear tests as well and it would be prudent to see your gynecologist for an evaluation.
