Pain Management During Gynecologic Procedures: It's Time To Do Better

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.
