Hysteroscopy/ reaccuring thrush

[Lillabetty]

Please help a mummy out.

I think I have reaccuring thrush it'll clear up for a few weeks then it'll come back again. Alittle bit of back story,
I had my daughter 12 months ago, at 4 months post partum I noticed a bulge so I went to the doctors and they said I have a small prolapse so put a referral in to see a gynecologist, at that same GP appointment I mentioned the thrush issue and she just said its irritation took swabs all came back clear. Either sex (if its not slow enough) or my period triggers a flare up this has been happening for 8 months.

I finally saw the gynecologist which confirmed a small bladder prolapse but it's not bad enough for treatment was just told to carry on my pelvic floor but put me on a 2 week pathway for a appointment to have a hysteroscopy ( 2 endometrial biopsies and a coil will be fitted) due to incredibly heavy periods.

I have a few questions.

1.Will they be able to help or see why this recurring thrush (if it even is that) keeps coming back.

1. I'm due on anywhere between today and the 4th of Feb (I have no warning with my period I just start flooding) and I can feel that I am at the start of another thrush flare up! So will they still go ahead with the hysteroscopy on the 7th of Feb if im still bleeding?

1. Can I request numbing for this procedure as I'm pooping my pants thinking about it!

I don't know about the thrush, but please do some research into hysteroscopies before you go in. Sorry to add to your fears, but an outpatient hysteroscopy is usually done without any pain relief, but can be incredibly painful. Some women don't find it too bad, but statistics from the Royal College of Gynaecologists and Obstratricians show that two out of three patients have mild to moderate pain, but one in three women suffer severe pain. It's a scandal really. Under best practice guidelines you are entitled to have one under general anaesthetic if you want that, but doctors will try to discourage this as it's cheaper for them to treat you without it. You will doubtless be told that any discomfort is comparable to period pain, but this is a crock of shit.
