Procedural pain
A comparison between the type of procedure and associated procedural
pain is also reported in Table 1. The mean pain score for diagnostic
hysteroscopy with or without endometrial biopsy was 5.2 / 10.
Hysteroscopic polypectomy was not associated with greater pain than
diagnostic procedures; however, hysteroscopic myomectomy and endometrial
ablation were associated with significantly higher pain scores.
