Hysteroscopy

[HysteroscopyWorries]

Has anybody, who has not given birth vaginally (failed induction leading to emcs, my cervix was not going anywhere) nor had a coil, had a hysteroscopy without a general anaesthetic? I'm on the urgent referral path and have been told to take 2 paracetamol in advance but am worried it will be agony. Any experience please? TIA

@HysteroscopyWorriesI have. In my case it was absolutely fine although I read so many horror stories online that freaked me out beforehand. The reality seems to be that it is very individual an experience and some women find it very difficult to tolerate whereas others find it to be ok. Key imo is to feel comfortable with the doctor you are seeing so that you are confident in asking the procedure to stop if it’s too uncomfortable.

Thank you everybody- I'm not shy about coming forward so will voice anything I'm not happy about.

That’s a point as well @EllaSW, each of mine was with a different doctor and I sometimes wonder if that made a difference, that some have more of a knack for it than others!
