we can use virginal specula! they are shorter and not that wide as the regular one I think those can help! otherwise USPSTF must be crazy!!!....

mech of cervical cancer in the virgin. in the non virgin, it is HPV implicated causing sq cca of cervix but with a virgin, it is adenoca of the endocervix which is unrelated to sex. that is why a pap smear is done in the virgin.
