Community PostI had a hysterscopy carried out last week. I was going for an vaginal ultrasound to see if a large fibroid had shrunk. Unfortunately it had not and I had been bleeding, so the doctor said she wanted to to have a look inside my womb with a camera. Doctor said the opening to my cervix was small so she would have to dilate my cervix and take a biopsy and would give me a LA as it might be a bit painful. The word hysterscopy was not mentioned.The procedure which took about 10 minutes was the worst pain I have ever experienced. My first thought was this must be what it’s like to be brutally raped, then I thought I cannot believe I was going through this at my age of 57 years. The adrenaline kicked in and I became emotional, I was shaking and was squeezing the hell out of the nurses hand. I got to the car afterwards and eased in to it, my husband was waiting for me, I burst into tears and said I had just had the most horrendous painful procedure. I was in shock, I woke up next day crying and emotional, I was all out of sorts at work which I probably should have not went to. I felt I couldn’t concentrate for a few days. Then I read these stories on this forum and I can identify with what these women have experianced, those of you who did not feel considerable pain are fortunate. I would advise women who have to get a hysterscopy, to insist on a GA, take a couple of days off work and rest. Women should not be suffering like this in this day and age.
