Hello everyone,

My name is Michal Braunstein, I am a gynecologist.

When I was young, I decided to become a doctor, and specifically a gynecologist, so that I could create a friendly and pleasant clinic for my patients. I have always believed a visit to your gynecologist should feel like having a cup of coffee with a friend, but with the advantage of a diagnosis, treatment, and clear and detailed information at the end of the session. That’s the reason I originally studied medicine to begin with, then gynecology, and in the recent years I’ve been focusing specifically on ways to relieve pain, treat recurrent vaginal complaints, itchiness, burning, discharge, vulvar skin diseases and painful sexual intercourse. I studied medicine at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem, then finished my residency in Gynecology at Edith Wolfson Medical Center near Tel Aviv. I learned and worked alongside leading specialists in the field of vulvovaginal disorders and participated in conventions and courses in both Israel and abroad. To achieve my purpose of reducing pain as much as I can, I went through training, and I am certified to use Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to reduce anxiety and pain.

Gynecological examinations and treatments can unfortunately cause discomfort, distress and even pain.

In light of this issue, in my clinic I offer the unique service of gynecological care under conscious sedation by utilizing Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas). This type of sedation does not influence consciousness or awareness, and continuous communication is maintained between us during the procedure.

Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) is a gas that exists in the air around us in trace amounts. You may have encountered it in a dental clinic, either as a child or as an adult. In dentistry, the gas is used to alleviate pain and anxiety during the procedure and to improve the overall experience. During childbirth, it is also used for the same medicinal properties. The same need exists in gynecological clinics as well. 

The use of Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) as a sedative has major advantages over other techniques. It gives a pleasant and light sensation, its effect dissipates quickly allowing the patient to drive home at the end of the treatment, yet it significantly assists in reducing the anxiety and pain that may arise from gynecological care.

Any of the conventional gynecological procedures such as gynecological examination, Pap smear and IUD insertion can be done in my clinic with the option of using laughing gas conscious sedation.
