I am anxious about outpatient hysteroscopy. will this be painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many women are anxious about hysteroscopy being painful. The level of discomfort can vary depending on several factors, including the individual's pain tolerance, the type of anesthesia used, and the reason for the procedure. In most cases, outpatient hysteroscopy is performed under local anesthesia, which means that only the cervix is numbed. Some experience mild cramping or discomfort.
