Hysteroscopy booked for next Monday!

I had quite a gruelling half hour attempt at a failed hysteroscopy with local anaesthetic. Whilst I was upset at the length of time and discomfort I didn't really feel pain. They will abort if you are in too much pain or it's not possible. There are two different sized scopes; one for those who have had children and another for those who haven't. I'd mention any previous issues. I've just looked at my notes and the smaller was called a 'MyoSure' scope.

Thank you so much for your reply, I am going to ask for a GA X

Thank you for your reply,  I have decided to ask for a GA from the outset x

Thanks for your reply, I am going to attend and ask for a GA 

Hi I had a hysteroscopy 10 days ago. Local anaesthetic & has & air we’re all I had and to be honest I didn’t feel much

Update, I had the hysteroscopy with a local anaesthetic and lots of gas and air. The consultant removed a prolapsed polyp which was attached and had grown through my cervix from my endometrium she also took a few biopsies and explained more about the transvaginal ultrasound results. My GP had told me my endometrium has grown to 13mm but the consultant explained further that the endometrium was cystic in appearance/structure, she went on to say it could be cancer but either way thinks I should probably have a hysterectomy. Should have the results in around 2 weeks. 

Good to hear you are partly sorted out. You must feel easier now the polyp has gone? xxx

Very well done Jane! Next step after results could well be an MRI or CT. I had a polyp removed at my hysteroscopy, followed by an MRI a few days later. Let us know when you hear. It will likely depend on when your MDT (multi-disciplinary team) meet as in most hospitals results go to them before patients, but just occasionally the CNS may let you know before.

Well done on getting it done with just local, Jane66. You've cut out a lot of extra waiting time by managing that.

Hi Jane66. Well done you for persevering! I hope that you aren't too uncomfortable after.

Now it's the wait for the results, let us know when you hear.

Big hugs, Barb xx
