Hysteroscopy

I don’t think anyone can say what sort of cells, only a biopsy will be able to clarify that..I have had quite a few hysteroscopies and they’ve only ever said they couldn’t see anything suspicious…however despite them saying that there were still precancerous cells in a polyp I had removed earlier this year and I’m booked in for a hysterectomy in September.

sorry you found the procedure painful, I count myself lucky that I didn’t find the procedures too bad at all. Hope you get your results soon and that everything comes back normal x

Hi Edingirl, welcome to the group! If there’s one thing I’ve leaned through this whole experience, is that sometimes consultants and other health professionals can say the weirdest things that aren’t always helpful to us!  it would be hard for us to know what he meant as we’re not medical. You could always phone the Macmillan support line and ask to speak to a nurse.

I’m very sorry that your hysteroscopy was so painful. For some women it’s bearable, but for others of us (myself included) it’s extremely painful and sometimes unbearably so. My consultant refused to continue with my hysteroscopy when it got to the phase of the camera going through the cervix - it was so painful for me that he said he was unwilling to continue, despite me wanting him to keep trying, as he didn’t want me to have a bad (ie traumatic) experience and was even concerned I might pass out from the pain. It’s apparently quite common for post menopausal women to have failed hysteroscopies because stenosis can set in. He abandoned the attempt and I had it under a light general anaesthetic a few weeks later and it was a breeze.
