Community PostI, fortunately, have had a very different experience to many of the women telling their stories here. I was referred to the Women’s Health clinic at Nevill Hall in Abergavenny due to increasingly heavy bleeding. Scheduled for hysteroscopy- the doctor and the team supporting were reassuring and supportive. The procedure was very uncomfortable but manageable. The outcome was that I required a second procedure a week later to remove a polyp (MyoSure) and biopsies. The doctor and team again were very supportive. This time I had an LA. The procedure again was very uncomfortable and this time took longer. I did not feel any additional pain when the polyp was removed and biopsy took place, but the feeling of pressure from the saline etc was painful. The team were patient and supportive, and despite the pain and the nature of the procedure, I felt like they helped me to retain some measure of dignity and were gentle and calming. It’s never going to be a pleasant procedure, but I always felt respected and supported.
