How long after a speculum exam does your vagina still FEEL open ?

Literally zero time. It closes immediately upon the withdrawal of the speculum. It's not even a matter of gaping for a moment. That doesn't happen.

The vagina does not remain open and returns to its natural position immediately after using the speculum. The use of lubricant may contribute to the sensation of muscle relaxation; furthermore, the sensation of openness is due to the elasticity of the accessory muscles of the cervical canal.

We're all different but I feel stretched after my test, I can feel something has been up there. My inner lips sit apart for a while afterwards too. Usually they're folded together.

It's normal to feel like your labia are spread apart.

During a gynecological exam, the first thing done before inserting the speculum is to palpate the Bartholin's glands, which are located at the base of the vulva. This opens the vaginal opening.

Then, the labia are opened like flower petals to avoid pinching them with the instrument. When the speculum is removed, the tissues may remain open for a few minutes. Often, when you stand up and put your underwear back on, everything closes.

However, to return to the original question, the vagina is a virtual tube made of such flexible tissue that it requires the insertion of something to open it. Therefore, it is never completely gaping.

I always lough about it

a THread, with a question to us women and most answers come from men who tell us women, how should feel and what would be normal or not normal..........hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
