Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients who have previously failed office hysteroscopy due to cervical stenosis.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease, severe vaginal bleeding, pregnancy, or allergies to lidocaine, prilocaine, or diclofenac potassium may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of ultrasound guidance in facilitating office hysteroscopy for patients who have previously experienced failures due to cervical stenosis. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving ultrasound-guided hysteroscopy and the other undergoing conventional hysteroscopy. The goal is to determine if ultrasound can improve access to the uterine cavity and enhance the success rate of the procedure. The study aims to provide a more effective approach for patients facing difficulties with traditional methods.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve the success rates of office hysteroscopy for patients with a history of procedural failure.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have not been widely reported, indicating that this may be a novel intervention.
