Hysteroscopy under GA

[DrHWeasley]

How did you find out? And how long did it take you to recover?

Scheduled for next week and wondering when I'll be fit to look after the DC (4&10 months) and when I can run, swim again?

how did you find out what?
I was fine afterwards. Had a bit of light bleeding but i was on the end of my period when they did it so possibly no worse than that would have been. I had the following 2 days off work but could have probably worked from home on the 2nd day. I was tired but I'd had a crazily stressful couple of days before the procedure (was travelling with work and got home late then had to be up early to get to the hospital etc) so I don't think it really took much extra out of me. They sent me home with industrial strength painkillers but I didn't take anything at all after the procedure. They kept offering me pain relief while I was still in hospital but it was really no worse than mild period pains.
They won't let you go home alone if you've had a GA so you'll need someone to pick you up and be with you for 24 hours. I don't recall the advice about exercise, I was injured already so couldn't do much anyway! You're not meant to use tampons for a few weeks so that might affect the swimming plans.

Sorry, typo - should have said 'How did you find it?', but you've answered that anyway, thanks!

I found it fine. Spotting for a week or so. The GA really wiped me out for about a week. I don’t think I could have run for a week or so afterwards. I’m actually having another hysteroscopy this afternoon, but no anaesthetic (I’ve also had one before with no anaesthetic and it was fine).

I had a failed hysterescopy without anaesthetic (was sick on the table, really horrible.) I then had it with GA a coupe if months later and it was literally fine. They just took a biopsy while I was asleep. Went in for seven and was out by half two.
