They do not mention the pressures used. Besides pain, there is a possibility of death from embolization. How do you get the swab to the cervix without losing the pressure? And what if there is more fluid that usual, or some bleeding, leading to bubbles? With speculum, it is easy to "mop" things up for better visualisation (oh heck, I'll go with their spelling :)) But intriguing it is! -- Rafael Haciski, MD FACOG Gynecology & Infertility Assoc.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
