About this trial

The goal of this study is to find out whether a small amount of lidocaine (a common local anesthetic) can reduce pain during office hysteroscopy - a procedure used to look inside the uterus. The study will compare lidocaine to saline (salt water) to see which one helps more with pain relief.

Participants will:

1. Receive either lidocaine or saline gently applied inside the cervix right before the procedure 2. Undergo the hysteroscopy as planned 3. Be asked to rate their pain and satisfaction after the procedure

Lidocaine is commonly and safely used in dental and gynecological procedures. Participation is voluntary, and the procedure itself will not change.
