The aim of the study was to evaluate the factors that may affect experienced pain during office hysteroscopy performed without anesthesia in an outpatient setting. We enrolled the patients into six groups, differentiated by parity, menopausal status and type of the sheath that was used for the examination. During office hysteroscopy the pain score was recorded using a visual analog scale. Statistical analysis of the results revealed no evidence that parity, menopausal status, or the thickness of the instrument influence the level of experienced pain.
