Intrauterine anaesthetic after hysteroscopy to reduce post-operative pain - A double blind randomised controlled trial.

Background: Pain after hysteroscopy is usually minimal but some women need additional analgesia while in the recovery ward and some require overnight hospital admission to control pain. Intrauterine installation of an anaesthetic after hysteroscopy may reduce pain.

Aims: To see if intrauterine levobupivacaine reduces post-procedure pain, need for analgesia and allow earlier return to normal activity.
