Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for various intrauterine conditions. It is performed with an optic device while entering liquid media to the uterus to allow visualization. Diagnostic procedures are often performed without anaesthesia (in the office setting) and operative procedures are performed either under general anaesthesia or without anaesthesia (in the office setting). It depends on the patients' characteristics and preferences, and surgical indications. 80%-100% of operative procedure without anesthesia can be successfully completed. The main reasons for inability to successfully complete operative hysteroscopy without anesthesia are patients' discomfort and limited visibility of the uterine cavity. In the current study, the investigators will compare the use of two different pressure setting of the liquid media during operative hysteroscopy without anesthesia, with the aim of investigating the successful completion of the procedure and patient's discomfort, with the aim of determining the optimal pressure setting.
