Interventions
Music
Participants listened to self-selected calming instrumental, non-lyrical music from a pre-prepared culturally acceptable playlist. Music was started approximately 3 minutes before hysteroscope insertion and continued until hysteroscope withdrawal. It was played through a speaker at a comfortable conversational volume and adjusted according to patient preference, while maintaining clear verbal communication between the operator and the participant.
No Intervention: Control group
Participants underwent outpatient hysteroscopy in the same setting using the same standard procedure, without background music
