One hour before office hysteroscopy, 100 mg of diclofenac potassium will be administered per orem. The patients will be asked to drink about one liter of water and to avoid urination before the procedure Moreover, a few minutes prior to the office hysteroscopy, 3 ml of 5% lidocaine and prilocaine topical cream will be introduced into the endocervical canal. All procedures will be performed using the vaginoscopic technique. A rigid 2.9-mm hysteroscope with a 30° lens and a 5-mm outer sheath (Karl Storz GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany) will be used in all procedures. A 5 Fr grasper and 5 Fr scissors will be used to widen the stenotic internal or external ostia. Transabdominal ultrasound will be used to guide the access of the hysteroscope to the uterine cavity
