Speculum literature

Okay, so imagine you have a toy telescope that you use to see far away things. A speculum literature is kind of like that toy telescope, but instead of looking at far away things, it helps people look at the insides of other people's bodies.

Sometimes, doctors need to look inside you to make sure everything is working okay. They use a speculum, which is a little tool that helps them spread open a hole in your body (like your vagina if you're a girl) and look inside with a light.

However, sometimes people write books or articles about the different types of speculums that doctors can use, or how to use them properly. This is called speculum literature. It's basically just information that helps doctors get better at using a speculum to help people stay healthy.
