I recently had a procedure done at hospital where I was being investigated for post menopausal bleeding. I was advised to take some pain relief prior to attending, which I did in the form of paracetamol.
During the procedure I was advised I needed some biopsies taken, which the nurse proceeded to take. This was extremely painful, in fact I would go further and say that I believe this is barbaric.
I had a biopsy last year of my stomach where I was given pain relief prior to it, why then when having this procedure is it acceptable to offer nothing?
This is not a painless procedure - I required 3 biopsies this day and a coil fitted and was offered the very patronising remark that I did so well.
This has to be looked at, as I don't think you can continue to carry out this procedure without offering adequate pain relief. I don't think women should be treated like this!
