Pain intensity was evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) when the cervical canal was passed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the VAS score: painless or mild pain (VAS\u2009&lt;4) and moderate or severe pain (VAS\u2009\u2265\u20094). The relationship between cervical canal characteristics (length, version, and flexion positions, history of cervical intervention, stenosis, synechiae), obstetric and gynecological history, preoperative anxiety level, procedure duration, and pain intensity was examined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Moderate pain (4\u2009\u2264\u2009VAS\u2009&lt;\u20097) was observed in 38% of patients (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u2009117) and 14 patients (5%) experienced severe pain (VAS\u2009\u2265\u20097).
