Advice needed on the experience of a D & C /polypectomy under local anaesthetic

[earlycomputers]

Are there any gynaecologists or patients who can advise me on how painful a hysteroscopy/polypectomy (1 polyp on uterus) and 360 degree curettage is likely to be under local anaesthetic (with paracetomol/ibruprofen? Is it agonising/bearable/tolerable/mild? I have had 3 kids and am pre-menopause, whether that's relevant or not. Not interested in hearing about people's experiences under general anaesthetic or spinal block etc - only local anaesthetic (with painkillers). I have various reasons for wating this procedure done under local, but just wanted to know what I am letting myself in for. Thanks!

Hi I actually had this done two days ago. Under local anaesthetic it was very uncomfortable but in the whole quite painless. The most painful part was having the anaesthetic after that it was just the tugging and feeling of movement.
