You can expect some cramping and pressure, but most likely you would feel nothing and remember nothing if sedation is given as well.
Yes. Just the injection would be uncomfortable. As a woman, I’d like sedation. If your OB/GYN recommends a local block I’d at least like sedation for the block.
No, it doesn’t hurt if you are given a small amount of sedation.
It can be done under local anesthesia and it is not that much pain you can have some sedation.
Ask your gynecologist.
