“…In 1996, Nagele et al (2) analyzed the outcome of the first 2,500 hysteroscopies performed in our department, with the main aim of demonstrating the feasibility and acceptability of outpatient diagnostic hysteroscopy.…”

“…Hysteroscopy can be regarded as the gold standard for the evaluation of the uterine cavity in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and suspected intrauterine out-growth (1,2). It has replaced conventional cervical dilatation and curettage under general anesthesia, which has been shown to be diagnostically relatively inaccurate (3)(4)(5)(6), for the investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding.…”

“…Endometrial polyps are frequently diagnosed in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, or in nonsymptomatic patients during ultrasonography or hysteroscopy performed for other reasons (12,13). Several minimally invasive methods may be adopted for the treatment of these lesions (14,15), but direct vision is necessary to obtain optimal results (4).…”

“…Injection of a local anesthetic agent before office hysteroscopy procedure was not a routine practice in the past and has only been just a part of the medical research. Few authors stated that most women could tolerate office hysteroscopy without anesthesia [10,11]. Recent literature was, however, remarkably different.…”

ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of intracervical anesthesia with that of combined intracervical and paracervical anesthesia in women undergoing office hysteroscopy. Study designThe current study was a randomized controlled trial. The study included women referred for office hysteroscopy. The included women were randomized into one of the three groups: group 1 included women who received no local anesthesia; group 2 included women who received intracervical local anesthesia; and group 3 included women who received both intracervical and paracervical local anesthesia. Pain was assessed [using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS)] during the procedure and 10, 30, and 60 min after the procedure. ResultsA total of 84 women were recruited into the trial. The median VAS for pain was significantly lower in women who received cervical analgesia (groups 2 and 3) when compared with women who received no analgesia (group 1), during the procedure as well as 10, 30, and 60 min after the procedure. The median VAS for pain was significantly lower in women who received combined intracervical and paracervical analgesia (group 3) when compared with women who received only intracervical analgesia (group 2) during the procedure and 10 min after the procedure. However, the difference between the latter two groups with respect to the VAS for pain 30 and 60 min after the procedure was not significant. ConclusionWhen compared with intracervical anesthesia, combined intracervical and paracervical anesthesia was associated with less pain perception during the procedure and 10 min after the procedure in women undergoing office hysteroscopy.
