Summary

This study is conducted to assess whether the passive uterine straightening of the uterus by means of bladder filling is associated with less pain experienced by nulliparous women during office hysteroscopy.

Detailed description

A randomized controlled study revealed that bladder filling before office hysteroscopy was associated with less pain experienced by parous women . On the other hand, a randomized study revealed that misoprostol was more effective than bladder filling in minimizing the pain experienced by postmenopausal women during office hysteroscopy. Till now , no studies were conducted to detect the effect of bladder filling on the pain experienced by nulliparous women during office hysteroscopy.

Conditions

• Hysteroscopy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Empty bladder group	Patients in the empty bladder group will be instructed to empty the bladder immediately before the procedure. A colleague will perform transabdominal ultrasound to confirm that the bladder is empty. All the procedures will be performed using the vaginoscopic technique. A rigid 2.9-mm hysteroscope with a 30° lens and a 5-mm outer sheath (Karl Storz GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany) will be used in all procedures.
OTHER	Bladder distension group	Patients in the bladder distension group will be instructed to drink one liter of water and to avoid urination during a period of 2 h before the scheduled procedure. A colleague will perform transabdominal ultrasound to confirm that the bladder is distended . All the procedures will be performed using the vaginoscopic technique. A rigid 2.9-mm hysteroscope with a 30° lens and a 5-mm outer sheath (Karl Storz GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany) will be used in all procedures.
