Pain Management During Gynecologic Procedures: It's Time To Do Better
from The Seasoned Sonographer · host Lynn Flamm
Pain during gynecologic procedures has long been minimized — but it doesn’t have to be that way. In this episode of The Seasoned Sonographer, Lynn Flamm, RDMS, talks with OB/Gyn physician Dr. Kenzie Glassburn about modern approaches to pain management during in-office gynecologic procedures. Together, they explore how ultrasound guidance, cervical blocks, local anesthesia, and trauma-informed care can dramatically improve the patient experience. We discuss: Common gynecologic procedures performed under ultrasound Which procedures benefit most from pain management Why women’s pain has historically been dismissed How ultrasound plays a key role in safer, more comfortable care What needs to change — culturally and clinically Because being a woman should never mean “just tolerate it.” Copyright © 2026 Sono Techniques Academy, LLC.

What this episode covers
Women have been told for decades that gynecologic procedures are “quick,” “uncomfortable,” or “just pressure.” But for many patients, these procedures are painful — and often unnecessarily so. In this episode, Lynn sits down with OB/Gyn physician Dr. Kenzie Glassburn to discuss pain management during gynecologic procedures, with a special focus on ultrasound-guided techniques that improve accuracy, safety, and patient comfort. From cervical blocks for IUD placement and removal to endometrial biopsies and beyond, this conversation challenges outdated norms and asks the hard question: Why are we still subjecting women to pain when we have the tools to do better?
