Hi I had a hysteroscopy 3 years ago and because I joined the site I became empowered to ask for it to be performed under General.
The biopsy was fine, I had fibroids and some thickening and apart from feeling very grotty and in pain for several days that was the end of it..
Unfortunately I’ve began spotting and having terrible pains. I was seen in urgent care and given antibiotics for UTI and yes, on examination it was confirmed I’m bleeding.
So I’ve been referred under 2 week rule and I know I will have to demand a general again as even a routine examination is difficult for me.
I’m suffering with pain but unsure if it’s from the UTI or my womb or probably both, it’s day 3 of antibiotics so I’m not feeling quite as poorly.
You lovely ladies held my hand last time and I’m reaching out again for your support and a safe place I can air my thoughts

Hi Granny Jax, welcome back to our little corner of the Online Community. Sorry to hear about your pain and spotting but good to hear the antibiotics seem to be helping. You've done the right thing to ask for a general. I myself haven't had children so any examination was always painful for me, especially when I had a stenosed cervix. My hysteroscopy was done under general (Epidural)
