At Buffalo OB·GYN, we offer Nitrous Oxide as an effective, safe, and non-invasive option for pain relief during various gynecological and obstetric procedures. Known for its calming and pain-relieving properties, Nitrous Oxide, often referred to as “laughing gas,” helps reduce discomfort and anxiety without causing drowsiness or significant side effects.


How Nitrous Oxide Works:


Nitrous Oxide is inhaled through a mask, where it enters the bloodstream and quickly takes effect, providing relief from mild to moderate pain and anxiety. The effects wear off quickly once the gas is no longer inhaled, allowing you to resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.


Benefits of Nitrous Oxide:


  • Fast acting and quickly reversible 
  • Minimal side effects
  • Safe for most patients
  • No need for injections or sedatives
  • Can be used in combination with other pain management options

 

This option is particularly beneficial for those looking for a more natural, less invasive form of pain relief. If you’re interested in learning more or would like to see if Nitrous Oxide is a good option for you, please contact us today.
