Treatment and study plan

Empty bladder group

Procedure

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.

Bladder distension group

Procedure

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Intensity of pain

    Time frame: : Immediately after the procedure

    Measured using 100 mm visual analogue scale ( 0 = no pain and 100 = worst possible pain)
