Office-based endometrial procedures are preferred over diagnostic dilation and curettage, nowadays. Paracervical block is single-shot nerve block that involve a one-time injection of local anesthetic adjacent to the utero-vaginal nerve plexus. Block provides analgesia during cervical pass of sampling device or manipulation of cervix. The paracervical block seems to work within few minutes after injection, but the optimal waiting time between injection and procedure is not known. In this randomized controlled study, it was aimed to determine the effect of waiting time of 1 minute and 3 minutes after paracervical block in endometrial sampling procedures using Pipelle cannula in terms of pain during and after the endometrial sampling and to compare with NSAIDs taken before the procedure.
