Some of the online leaflets suggest you wear a "loose comfortable skirt" and sort of imply you'll actually still wear it when having the hysteroscopy. Didnt see that the first time and it was winter so I was in my usual trousers and was given a white sheet to cover my lower half. Today being warmer I wore a skirt but took a spare skirt with me because my first hysteroscopy involved so much water and blood I thought I might need it. However I was given the white sheet again. There was also much less blood and water this time as it was just a couple of samples for biopsy.
First time I was offered gas and air and a local anesthetic injection, this time the nurse suggested trying with just gas and air as it was less involved. I found the injection of local anaesthetic a bit painful so went for just gas and air and that was actually better. Both times I've taken the recommended 2 painkillers an hour before.
Just wondered what everyone else wears/ what pain relief you are offered.
