Summary

This trial is testing whether a new way to do a hysteroscopy (vaginoscopy) is less painful than the traditional method.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18-52 who need a polypectomy or myomectomy due to abnormal bleeding or fertility issues. They must have small polyps or fibroids previously diagnosed by hysteroscopy. Women with large fibroids, cervical stenosis, blood disorders, or pregnancy cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study compares pain levels between two procedures: vaginoscopy and traditional hysteroscopy during outpatient treatment of uterine conditions like fibroids. The hypothesis is that vaginoscopy causes less pain than the standard method.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated in the provided information, potential side effects may include discomfort, cramping, bleeding similar to menstrual periods, and possible infection risks associated with hysteroscopic procedures.
