The effect of the intrauterine anesthesia using 2% lidocaine for pain reduction during dilatation and curettage operations

Abstract

Background: Dilatation and curettage (D&C) are common procedures in the assessment of abnormal uterus bleeding. One of the methods in pain reduction during dilatation and curettage is paracervical block, but it does not provide absolute pain reduction. This study was carried out to assess the paracervical block with and without lidocaine consumption to reduce pain during D&C.
