“…A recent Cochrane review of 17 randomized controlled trials examined several strategies to increase patient comfort during LEEP conization. 61 Naproxen 550 mg 30 minutes prior to the LEEP was not found to benefit women during the procedure but reduced the need for medications afterward. Local anesthesia with a vasoconstrictor yields better pain control and less blood loss than local anesthesia alone.…”

“…Oral analgesia, such as NSAIDs, topical lidocaine-prilocaine cream, or lignocaine or benzocaine sprays were found to be ineffective strategies for pain control during colposcopy. [61][62][63] Several randomized controlled trials have found that forced coughing during cervical biopsy is equivalent to injected 1% lidocaine. Two studies compared the administration of 0.5 to 2 mL of 1% lidocaine into the cervical stroma 1 minute prior to biopsy to forced coughing during biopsy.…”
There are many options for pain management for office gynecologic procedures, and depending on the procedure, different modalities may work best. The importance of patient counseling and selection cannot be overstated.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
