Can i just ask anyone had this procedure.... was you put asleep when u had the hysteroscopy and biopsy....as i went for my pre-op today....and they said i will be awake for my hysteroscopy and biopsy...i am terrified...they said don't worry if it hurts we can give me gas and air OMG!
I have had a biopsy and didn't have anything but some ibuprofen. It was hardly more than a pap. Just a little more uncomfortable but nothing major at all. I haven't had a hysteroscopy though.
Hi there, I had it, wide awake, didn't need the gas and air. Felt like a PAP smear. I lay there terified like you, and ready to scream. I remember saying 'hurry up, I cant stand the tension...' they said, it's done. My advice would be, if you feel the slightest twinge, scream the place down. Or cry your eyes out on your way in, so they give you sedation 
Don't worry hun. Its a breeze x
Biopsy wasn't awful. A bit uncomfortable, but not more. I walked right afterwards as I had no near parking. Nothing to fear in terms of pain.
Hi I had a Hysterectomy and I was not awake for this but some other lady's were but had epidural so they didn't feel anything they listened to music and were totally ok one thing about being awake you don't get the yucky after affects of sedation take up your concerns when to go to have the op good luck and let us know his you got on
Hysteroscopy is just a tube used to look inside the vagina and cervix. Some women don't feel anything or just a minor discomfort. You are put to sleep since there's hardly any discomfort.
oops..you are NOT put to sleep, I mean.
It is uncomfortable and you should be asleep for it.
Hysteroscopy. Not Hysterectomy. Completely different
Nonsense.
I had one in December, a little uncomfortable when they put the speculum in - think thats what it called. but after that it was ok. my doc even made me look at the screen to show me inside my uterus - oh great , thanks !
I was advised to have a paracetamol beforehand, they said to rest for the rest of the day, but i was back in work the following day and then out on the Christmas do at night. I had a little bit of cramping but not very much at all and no bleeding. I need a polyp rremoved that they found but they said i will have to have a general for that. I am terrified of that though and had it cancelled once because of blood pressure being up on the day. I ahd the results of the biopsies within 2 weeks and all was clear. it didnt hurt when they did the biopsy either. good luck x
For some people Lesley it is very uncomfortable as I have experienced being awake while trying to have a hysteroscopy but it was very very painful for me and I have to have it done while asleep.although I do have deep endometriosis and a nodule of endo behind cervix not sure if this could have made it especially painful for me personally ? On the other hand my friend on here had it awake and she was absolutely fine.we are all different and should not compare one to the other on this.😊😊
Michelles, what exactly is this: I do have deep endometriosis and a nodule of endo behind cervix. Did they give medication or D&C or is it something that gets better as you age?
Hello I was only diagnosed in April after an mri showed deep infiltrating endo which means nodules,mine is on uteral sacral ligaments,behind cervix and endometriomas on right ovary,have you this elsewhere too ? I'm
Not really in any pain and must have had it years and years for it to be deep,no treatment as yet as he said we treat the lady not the stage of endo.are you in any pain ? I feel discomfort sometimes and am scared to death of this hysteroscopy I feel I won't be able to
Go ahead with it as have a deep deep fear of a general anaesthetic and I'm
Seriously thinking of asking to try again being awake !!! Can anyone advise me on this please I'm
Sure my endo is making the hysteroscopy more painful as everyone else didn't find it a problem !!! Xxx
Thanks for replys everyone....still scared though...it seems some people are ok with it and some are not....so i will just have to bite the bullet and see what happens...in the hope that i am not one of the ones who feel it.....believe me if i do...i think the gynocologist will be getting a reflex kick in the face lol x
Thanks Gill...if it was a hysterectomy i would be fefusing point blank to be awake x
Thanks pudds....i think my blood pressure will be through the roof on the day....i'm already in a state and i havn't even got my date to get it done!
Jane take ibuprofen and paracetamol and if you have no endo or nodules Iike me you will sail through it like the others.i wish I could know someone who has has it done with endo behind cervix and being awake and see how they felt.i have a high pain threshold but am so scared of having a GA and not waking up I'm seriously thinking of seeing my gp tomorrow to ask if I can try again awake !!! I'm that scared and know I won't get to the hospital through sheer panic xxx
Can I ask why did you have to have a pre op if you're having it done awake please? I am due a GA for hysteroscopy and no pre op it's confusing lol.the panic is building up now and I know I'm going to end up cancelling through sheer terror of the GA !! X
Thanks Lesley...the thought of them going through into my cervix t...and then taking a piece of my womb....while im awake...can't even imagin not feelling it...i want to vomit !.....i am a coward...i don't even know how i had 2 children haha x
