Brief summary

The study aims to compare the pain scores of patients who are planned to have hysteroscopy due to gynecological reasons dividd into two groups; one administered cervical hygroscopic dilatators before the procedure and second who were not administered any preoperative dilatators.

Interventions

Arm 1: Administration of osmotic hydroscopic dilatator which is made of AQUACRYL hydrogel for cervical preparation before hysteroscopy The hydroscopic dilatator will be administered by the gynecologist taking preoperative care in the department. The patient in lithotomy position will be administered a speculum and the dilatator will be appropriately placed through cervical canal leaving the guide of the dilatator in the vagina. It will be administered in the morning of the planned operation ab
