Hello everyone. I wanted to ask if anyone has had a hysteroscopy and if so, how painful was it? I am due one in about 6 weeks and am down as a day case. However, I am absolutely terrrified it is going to hurt as the consultant thinks that I may have a polyp and it will need removing.
I had a loop excision to remove pre-cancerous cells 18 years ago and I remember the pain like it was only yesterday. It was excruiating and I felt so out of control. I couldn't have got off the bed even if I had wanted to as my legs were in slings, etc. I always said that if I had to have a procedure like that done again, I would have it done under a general anaesthetic.
I am seriously thinkin of asking for it to be done under a general but feel really pathetic. Generally my pain threshold is quite good.
I am worried that my anxiety will make it 100 times worse if I don't have a general. On the other hand, I always worry in the back of my mind that I won't come out of a general and will never see my children again!!
Please can anyone give me some advice? Thanks
