Brief Summary

women candidate for office hystroscopy were randomized to either flushing of the endocervix and endometrium with 4 ml lidocaine 2% diluted in 15 ml normal saline or 19 ml normal saline before office hystroscopy

Posterior vaginal retractor was introduced to expose the cervix and ( embryo transfer catheter was introduced throught the cervix passing the internal os and intrauterine and intracervical instillation of to either flushing of the endocervix and endometrium with 4 ml lidocaine 2% diluted in 15 ml normal saline or 19 ml normal saline.

After 5 mins the procedure was started A rigid 3.5 mm hystroscope with an optic of 30 degrees was used. Normal saline solution was used as distension media, with 120 mmHg intrauterine pressure, Vaginoscopic approach, nocervical tenaculum or dilators used.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain assessment during the hysteroscopyduring hystroscopy procedure

pain assessment during hystroscopy using visual analogue scale VAS. is a psychometric response scale which can be used in questionnaires. It is a measurement instrument for subjective characteristics or attitudes that cannot be directly measured.Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100
