Using lidocaine as an additional topical local anesthetic agent in gynecological procedures.

摘要

It has been a pleasure to read the article 'Efficacy of intrauterine lignocaine plus vaginal misoprostol for pain relief in premenopausal. women undergoing endometrial aspiration and ambulatory hysteroscopy' by Gupta et al. (1) in your journal. I believe obstetricians and gynecologists, for the well being of women, should use every opportunity to increase the comfort of gynecological office procedures, which mostly involve minor surgical approaches. Endometrial aspiration and ambulatory hysteroscopy are two very important diagnostic methods, hysteroscopy is the gold standard for endometrial cavity assessment (2), and ambulatory (office) hysteroscopy is even more practical.
