Previously a few years ago I had a hysteroscopy without success due to a closed cervix so this procedure did not work for me. Now that I am experiencing again more intermittent pelvic cramping again, without any discharge, I'm hesitant to undergo the hysteroscopy procedure for the reason set above.
Another reason I'm reluctant to go ahead with a hysteroscopy is that the procedure will be carried out under general anaesthetic as an outpatient day case. That bothers me as I'm 76 and also live alone but there seems to be no flexibility there. Should it be possible to to stay overnight after the procedure I would not be so reluctant to go ahead with the hysteroscopy.
Does anyone have any suggestion that would prove useful as I'm aware of the seriousness since the MRI revealed a bulky ovarian cyst and a uterine lesion.
Would really appreciate your valuable input here, as I don't know what more to do, thank you!
I don't know what to do
Hi DiAnA. I too was unable to have a hysteroscopy under the usual procedure as I had a stenosed cervix so I was recommended to have it done under GA. In the end it was done under an Epidural with a much quicker recovery and less possible side effects. Once I could stand unaided and walk I was ok to go home, I did have to be driven home afterwards though I felt fine.
Have a word with your consultant and reiterate that you are on your own with no home support then I'm sure they'll arrange an overnight stay.
Sending hugs, B xx
