I am not posting this to disagree with all
the people who have had horrific experiences- but just want to Ensure there is a balanced view here for people researching before they go i for this procedure.
I went for a hysteroscopy at New Alderley house Macclesfield this morning terrified after reading all the horror stories online.
But please understand this is not how things are for Everyone.
the staff at New Alderley house that do this are amazing. The consultant takes the time to explain exactly what will happen and your dignity is preserved at all times. There is an amazing nurse who will hold your hand and talk the whole way through the procedure to distract you. What a lovely lady she deserves a medal! The procedure itself takes minutes and the pain was really bearable - and nothing compared to period pain and childbirth! they numb your cervix so once that’s done then the only other bit that hurts a bit is when they take the biopsy - but it’s a only a few seconds and stops immediately. At home I had bad period typE pains and some bleeding. This is an invasive procedure but it’s being done to look for something far worse which makes it bearable
Afterwards you can take your time getting dressed etc there is no hurry. Overall it couldn’t have been a better experience for me for what is quite an invasive procedure.
I write this review as there is much bad press about this procedure - but please take a balanced view of feedback and realise that people who don’t have a bad experience generally don’t write reviews.
I am sorry for the folks that had horrific exp - mine wasn’t and there is a good Chance yours won’t be too.
