Hysteroscopy and tilted uterus

[littleteapotandcake]

I have been referred for a hysteroscopy after an ultrasound found a uterine polyp. While the technician was doing the scan, she mentioned that I had a tilted womb. Does anyone know if this would make the hysteroscopy more painful than usual? Also, what is general waiting time after being referred?

No, I had a hysteroscopy in clinic with a tilted uterus, no problems. Can’t remember how long I waited, think it was several weeks, but it will vary depending on your area.

Thank you. I think I'm just getting anxious because I've heard it can be quite painful. Did you have it done without sedation?

I’ve had two but under general anaesthetic. I also have the tilted uterus. I thought it was rare but here we all are!
I couldn’t have it without GA although I wanted to.
I don’t think they’d do it without sedation if it was going to be painful.

Yes, no sedation. It wasn’t painful in any way, just felt like someone was rummaging around down there. I wouldn’t want a GA just for that.

Same issue here compounded by the fact I have never been pregnant. Had first attempt at hysteroscopy under local, it was manageable pain wise but they couldn't remove both polyps so had to have round 2 under general anaesthetic. If I could get away without the general anaesthetic I would in terms of recovery time.

I have an antroverted uterus, and had a hysteroscopy under GA (not because of the tilt, just that the gynae didn't believe in doing them without anaesthetic).

4 months for a hysterecopy I phoned and was told 12 months away then the hospital changed when apparently King Charles had his scare.

I had hysteroscopy under ga so not awake (there is an argument about the pain this procedure causes but nothing about the mental health of being lied too which was the green light to tell me mis truths. And that was ok?!

Oh, I’ve just had one of these on Monday just passed.
I finished treatment for breast cancer 17months ago so was a bit scared when they found a polyp in my womb. Asked if I wanted a GA, I wanted it dealt with asap, so went down the gas and air route.
Turns out, no polyp (apparently a polyp can look exactly like a bit of a period that hasn’t cleared properly).
As you can probably tell from my language, I don’t have any medical knowledge.

It was sore, but didn’t last long.

I have a retroverted uterus and had a hysteroscopy with just paracetamol beforehand quite recently, to remove a polyp and put a new coil in.

As I always do with smears etc, I reminded the gynaecologist that my uterus is retroverted beforehand. He remarked during the procedure that he had to have a good tug to pull my cervix into position before he could get the camera in I might have a high pain threshold because despite the rummaging I didn't find it painful at all.

I'm in Ireland so can't comment on waiting times other than to say I went private and it was quick.
