"Hysteroscopy at Ormskirk Hospital"

After hospital stay due to gynae issues, had a biopsy of womb done at bedside, no local anaesthetic, big mistake, it was hell. Terrible contraction like pains for 2 hours after, was very nearly sick from pain so struggled to get meds down after to help - horrendous, worse than child birth & that was traumatic enough after a ventouse delivery, no joke!

I do need to say however that the staff were amazing & really looked after me so well during my stay. Fast forward 2 weeks as I needed to have a hysteroscopy to back up the biopsy, suffice to say I was a nervous wreck about getting it done after my previous experience & scaring myself half to death reading the horror stories online! I took paracetamol, ibuprofen & codeine as advised by my GP prior to the procedure and I am so pleased to say that the hysteroscopy went well, I didn't feel a thing, no pain, staff were amazing and said I was in control and they would stop at anytime if it got too much but it didn't. Luckily for me my biopsy results came back clear and the camera also confirmed this. I know it can be a stressful, worrying time but please keep positive and remember it might not be as bad as you expect. The moral of the story is to make sure you're well informed with every bit of pain relief or anaesthesia in place before going ahead with a biopsy as since speaking with the Dr's, in their experience it is the most painful part of the procedure. Good luck.
