Effectiveness of Vaginal Misoprostol and Rectal Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug in Vaginoscopic Diagnostic Outpatient Hysteroscopy in Primarily Infertile Women: Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled Trial

We were unable to demonstrate a benefit in pain reduction and patient acceptance with the use of vaginal misoprostol or rectal NSAIDs during vaginoscopic diagnostic outpatient hysteroscopy in nulliparous infertile women without a history of cervical stenosis. Trials investigating the optimal time for vaginal misoprostol premedication for pain relief in vaginoscopic outpatient hysteroscopy are needed. New interventions and/or drugs should be studied to decrease pain perception during vaginoscopic outpatient hysteroscopy.
