Abstract :
Aims and Objectives: To investigate the tolerance of lidocaine/tetracaine plastic ointment usage during outpatient hysteroscopy.
Background: Hysteroscopy is done to visualise the complete endometrial cavity and is the gold standard technique for ruling out and managing intrauterine pathology. The purpose of this study was to investigate the tolerance of the usage of lidocaine/tetracaine plastic ointment during outpatient hysteroscopy.
Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study about the tolerance of usage of lidocaine/tetracaine plastic ointment during outpatient hysteroscopy amongst Australian population. The study was performed with a sample size of 77 women between 23 and 77 years who attended the clinic and underwent outpatient hysteroscopy.
Results: The study included a sample size of 77 women between 23 and 77 years who attended the clinic to undergo outpatient hysteroscopy. Among that, the number of people who tolerated the procedure (97.40%) and the number of patients with no side effects (100%).
Conclusion: Analysis of data from this population indicates that the use of LTP ointment during office hysteroscopy was tolerated in 75 patients out of 77. This study helps GPs to expedite early diagnosis and treatment.
