Hysteroscopy
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the value of music in outpatient hysteroscopy on patients' level of pain and satisfaction in primarily infertile patients.
Interventions
In the music group, music chosen by the participant will be played through a speaker by the nursing staff during outpatient hysteroscopy. Music will be played through a speaker instead of headphones in order to maintain good communication and interaction between the participant and the doctor.
Participants in the non-music group will undergo outpatient hysteroscopy in the same setting and standard procedure without listening to any music.
