Women Deserve Better Pain Management During Hysteroscopies
By Editor • August 19, 2026 • 1 min read
Carole Kendall highlights a troubling bias in medical care, particularly regarding the painful hysteroscopy procedures women endure without adequate pain relief. In her support of Anna Moore's article, Kendall shares her experiences with three such procedures, noting that only minimal local anesthetic was provided.
She argues that the pain management options for women starkly contrast with the more comprehensive care offered to men during colonoscopies. Kendall urges for change in this disparity.
