Going Under GA for hysterscopy

[Starwish90]

Hi

just wanted some advice really and to be told i aibu and theres nothing to be worried about.

I am due to go under GA for a hysterscopy next thursday and the fear of going under is scaring me. I feel so scared i have a 2 year old to look after who has a lung condition and solely ng fed and requires oxygen at night. im scared i wont wake up scared about what would happen to my son.

the procedure was tried a month ago but failed as the dr couldnt reach the cervix and i was in agony. She wasnt very nice about it so not sure if thats made me feel a bit more weary but i feel like i cant sleep or eat i literally cant stop thinking about it.

I went for pre op last week and they informed procedure wont last longer than 30mins and i have nothing to worry about but again not sure they understood my fears. They said i need to have the procedure for unexplained bleeding.

has anyone had proceudre under GA and if so how did it feel what can i expect?

thank you for your responses.

GA went well like you all agreed on thankfully. however had a small problem with procedure so have been admitted for couple days so hopefully home soon. but absolutely nothing to do with the GA i can fully agree that it literally is quick and over with done all those weeks of anxiety was such a waste. thank you all what would i do without mumsnet x

Glad it went ok OP

Glad it went OK @Starwish90, sorry to hear you're staying in for a couple of days.

I'm having a hysteroscopy under local in a few weeks. Not looking forward to it as I recently had an hsg and that was horrendous. But I didn't want to delay anything as I'm having the tests under my fertility clinic and have already been trying for a long time.

Hope you're getting some rest and can go home soon x

I had a hysteroscopy yesterday under GA. Cant even imagine it under LA. I had a polyp removed and the uterine lining was thickened so had that scraped. Also had a Mirena Coil fitted. I came round from the anaesthetic with a saline drip attached and morphine given whilst I was under. Came home the same day after I'd eaten and passed urine. Just got some mild cramps today and bleeding gently. They sent me home with cocodamol and laxatives but only had to take 1 of each so far.
