An anal speculum is a medical instrument used to examine the anal canal and rectum. It is typically a metal or plastic device designed to gently dilate the anus, allowing healthcare professionals to inspect for abnormalities, perform medical procedures, or collect samples. Commonly used in proctology, it helps in diagnosing conditions like hemorrhoids, fissures, or tumors, and is also employed in various surgical and diagnostic procedures. Proper lubrication and careful insertion are essential to minimize discomfort for the patient during its use.
