Introduction Outpatient or office hysteroscopy is an important tool for diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine lesions. Office hysteroscopy requires no operation theater facilities or general anaesthesia and therefore it is more convenient to the patients and more cost-effective than inpatient hysteroscopy. Office hysteroscopy is usually accompanied by some degree of discomfort or pain. The majority of patients experience mild pain and few patients experience severe pain and vasovagal reaction [1]. Menopausal status, absence of vaginal delivery and history of previous cesarean section are the main risk factors for severe or intolerable pain during office hysteroscopy[2-3]. There is no consensus on the most effective method for pain …show more content…

The authors suggested that bladder distension can align the cervical canal with uterine cavity and therefore minimizes the trauma caused by the passage of the hysteroscope through the cervical canal and internal os [13]. We thought that this new treatment (bladder distension) may offer important advantages over currently available treatment ( misoprostol ), in terms of better convenience, compliance and cost-effectiveness. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of misoprostol with uterine straightening by bladder distension in minimizing the pain experienced by postmenopausal patients during office hysteroscopy. …show more content…

In the current study, a new treatment (bladder distension) was compared with the currently available treatment (misoprostol). This study aimed to reveal that uterine straightening by bladder distension was not inferior to misoprostol in relieving the pain experienced by postmenopausal patients during office hysteroscopy. At the time of study design, there were no studies in literature that reported the use of vaginal misoprostol (400µg) 12 hours before office hysteroscopy in postmenopausal patients. Available studies either included heterogeneous population of patients (postmenopausal patients and patients of reproductive age) or investigated different regimens of misoprostol administration in postmenopausal patients undergoing office hysteroscopy[6, 7,

In the article, “Sometimes Pain Is a Puzzle That Can’t Be Solved”, Abigail Zuger, the author, describes her own experiences with pain along with some examples and generalizations about the feeling. She claims that she is “ruled by (her) elbow” and “it is (her) constant companion, whimpering, and tugging at (her) sleeve.” She goes on to say that many people have the same problems, especially when drugs, “like naproxen and ibuprofen” are unhelpful and “might as well be cornflakes.” Finally, she explains how far we have advanced in the medical field, but “ none of (the) knowledge has translated into new treatments,” to help people such as herself.

(2016). Preventative care needs to be implemented for uterine fibroids, just like routine pap smears and mammograms have helped catch early stages of uterine and breast cancer, early diagnosis can help prevent invasive procedures such as hysterectomies and years of struggling with pain. I have been inspired by this interview and research to get involved concerning women’s health. Knowing that uterine fibroids can be treated and detected early is most likely only one area that the medical industry is lacking in keeping up with proper health care for women. I will start with my own doctors and question their understanding of the differences of women’s needs compared to men.

Psychological Assessment and Management of Chronic pain Evaluating a chronic pain condition from a biological perspective is limiting, and often fails to fully explain the patient’s symptoms. In contrast to the biomedical model, which explains pain purely in terms of pathophysiology, the biopsychosocial model views pain, suffering and disability, as the result of dynamic interactions among biological, psychological, behavioral, social, cultural and environmental factors. Consequently, assessment requires not only the examination of the biological dimension, but of the psychological and social dimensions as well. A patient’s experience of pain and response to any treatment for pain are affected not only by biologically determined nociceptive (nervous system transmission) processes, but also by psychological factors such as mood (for example, depression, anxiety) and appraisals (thoughts and beliefs about the pain), as well as by psychosocial factors such as the responses of others (for example, family, friends,
