Abstract

Objective

To compare Vaginoscopic hysteroscopy and Traditional Hysteroscopy in terms of pain during the procedure, time taken for the procedure, and success of the procedure.

Methods

Comparative observational study done at ABVIMS and Dr RML Hospital between August 1, 2022, and February 29, 2024, in which hundred women of reproductive age group planned for diagnostic hysteroscopy were randomized in two groups: group A undergoing traditional hysteroscopy (50 patients) and group B undergoing vaginoscopic hysteroscopy (50 patients).

Results

The total pain score was calculated for each group; it was found to be significantly lower in vaginoscopic technique (p < 0.001). The mean time was 5 min 5 s for traditional hysteroscopy and 6 min 45 s for vaginoscopic hysteroscopy with no significant difference statistically. There was no statistically significant difference in success rates in both the groups.

Conclusion

The vaginoscopic approach is a better tolerated and less painful technique and therefore should be preferred over the traditional hysteroscopy.
