What instruments can be inserted into a vagina?

I wonder what medical instruments are to be inserted vaginally.

Those I know of:

• speculum, obviously
• ultrasound probe
• I don't know the English name, perhaps “dilator”, it's “bougie” in French, and it's used for instance for older ladies who want to restart a sex life after menopause and their vagina has shrunk, or for ladies with vaginismus who want to gradually move toward accepting a full penis. Think of it as some kind of medical dildo. Sadly, such things are also used to forcefully build a vagina into intersex children.

Are you talking about instruments that are used in the vagina? Technically they do have to be inserted.

GOOGLE: Cannulas, Catheters, Clamps, Curettes, Dilators and Sounds, Electrodes, Extractors, Forceps and Graspers, Hooks, Needles, Punches, Retractors, Rigid Scopes such as hysteroscopes, Scissors, Speculums, Transducers.

I'm sure there are many others.

I think Cassie has covered it pretty well.

Dilators is the correct English translation but not strictly a medical grade dildo; they start off tiny at about 4 inches in length and think 0.3/0.4 inch width. I wouldn't risk sexualising the process of dilatation by likening it to a dildo.

It wouldn't forcefully used to create a vagina but taken at the patients pace when they choose they are ready to. Whilst not intersexed our eldest has used them for other reason and certainly the whole process is led/ directed by patient from our experience at least.

Im not an expert but if there isnt some resemblance of a vagina to begin with I don't understand how dilator itself could be used to “build” or create a vagina?

@ethan256625 Some children (it's genetic) are born with intersex genitals, and some girls are born without a uterus, often with a partially developed vagina, sometimes with no vaginas. Such children have often been subjected to involuntary “treatments” that involved dilators, so as to attempt to expand the partial vagina to make intercourse possible later. I've read some testimonies. This is medical rape pure and simple.

It seems that you misunderstand the use of Hegar's candles.

They are in no way intended to pseudo widen a vagina.

Their target is only the cervix, and this in two cases:

1°) in order to dilate it a lot before performing a mechanical abortion. As you know, we must introduce a suction cannula whose diameter corresponds to the number of weeks of pregnancy. We therefore proceed to the dilation of the cervix by penetrating candles of increasing diameter until reaching the desired opening.

2°) It is a question of diagnosing an open bite of the cervix, essentially in the event of pregnancy. If we manage to insert a candle with a diameter of 8 mm, we conclude that there is a gap and therefore a risk of expulsion from the bag. We therefore propose to the patient a cerclage of the cervix which will remedy this problem.
