Full bladder, Pain, Excessive anteflexion of the uterus
Brief 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 patients with excessive anteflexion of the uterus during office hysteroscopy.
Interventions
PROCEDUREEmpty 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.
PROCEDUREBladder 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.
