Fairly common.: Hysteroscopy and D&C may be done under either general or spinal anesthesia or even sedation. Local cervical block along with injectable pain medication such as Toradol may also be done. Hysteroscopy is a common office procedure oftentimes done for sterilization procedure call Essure and is done injectible pain medication with ot without local cervical block. D&C is often done with local block.
