Summary
Endometrial aspiration biopsy has been accepted as a diagnostic procedure of choice for women
with abnormal uterine bleeding to examine endometrial pathology. The procedure has high
accuracy comparing to conventional fractional curettage. However, it is associated with
significant pain during the procedure. In general, there is no specific recommendation
regarding the proper anesthesia used during the procedure.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of lidocaine spray for reducing pain during
the endometrial aspiration procedure by comparing it with placebo and no intervention.
