Is cervical dilation painful?

Cervical dilation is painful.

Mechanical dilation of the cervix during the procedure will inevitably lead to a certain degree of discomfort, especially for women who are more sensitive to pain. At the same time, during cervical dilation, uterine contractions may also cause pain. In addition, the doctor's operating skills will also affect the patient's feelings. Skilled and gentle operation may reduce the pain to a certain extent, but it cannot be completely eliminated.

However, during cervical dilation, doctors usually take some measures to minimize the pain of the patient, such as giving local anesthesia or appropriate use of sedatives before surgery. At the same time, patients should also fully communicate with the doctor to understand the procedure and possible discomfort, so as to better cooperate with the doctor to complete the operation.
