Hysteroscopy can be painful, and if anesthesia is used during the examination, the pain will be significantly reduced, if not nonexistent.
A hysteroscopy involves placing an examining scope into the uterine cavity to examine the morphology of the uterine cavity and to determine the location, size, appearance, and extent of lesions present. The pain of hysteroscopy generally comes from dilation of the cervix as well as expansion of the uterine cavity with bulking fluid. The tube diameter of the scope is small and the examination time is relatively short. The pain during the examination is not very serious and is generally tolerated by women.
If a woman is sensitive to pain and nervous about the operation of the uterine cavity, local anesthesia or general anesthesia can also be used to reduce or eliminate the pain during the procedure.
The process of hysteroscopy is relatively simple, and the examination and operation time is relatively short, so women should not have too much psychological burden when doing hysteroscopy. It is recommended to consult a professional doctor for specific conditions.
