Does the anesthetic method during endometrial sampling affect sexual function a month later?

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective observational study compares FSFI scores one month after endometrial sampling performed under either sedo-analgesia or local anesthesia. 210 women aged 18 to 60 undergoing routine endometrial sampling at a single hospital will be grouped by the anesthesia technique used. FSFI questionnaires collected at the 1-month follow-up will be analyzed to see if anesthesia type is associated with differences in sexual function, with secondary context on pain and discomfort. The study aims to provide insight into whether anesthesia choice during the procedure has short-term effects on sexual well-being. Enrollment is planned from April 2026 to April 2027 at Prof. Dr. Cemil Taşcıoğlu City Hospital.
