I am a 30 year old female. I will have a D&C under local anesthesia. Does a D&C hurt with local anesthesia?

The injections will hurt a little. This is really a question for the person doing the procedure.
Not necessarily. The surgeon will put local anesthetic in. If you have it done in the office, it pinches like when the dentist numbs a tooth. If in the operating room then you will be sedated and won’t remember the local anesthetic going in.
