Procedural pain compared to menstrual pain
Women rated the discomfort or pain experienced during OPH and that
during a menstrual period on a scale of 0-10 (none-worst). On
comparison, the mean pain score for an OPH procedure was less than the
worst level of pain or discomfort experienced during a menstrual period
(Table 5). Data was analysed to assess pain scores specific to the type
of OPH procedure. It was observed that the mean pain score for an OPH
procedure was less than the worst level of pain or discomfort
experienced during a menstrual period for all outpatient hysteroscopic
procedures except for outpatient endometrial ablation (Table 5).
