I recently had a hysteroscopy and adhesion removal. I was initially anxious about this procedure mostly for the results, but also for needing to be sedated and post-operative pain. The team took this onboard and was very understanding and reassuring about my concerns.
Prior to the procedure I was informed by the surgeon, anaesthetists and nurses about every step of the hysteroscopy and what to anticipate and had a chance to ask any questions I had.
Post procedure I was taken back to my room and was closely monitored by the staff and the surgeon came to my room shortly after to explain her findings and what they found during the procedure.
As a person who has health anxiety this was very reassuring and put me at ease. Post procedure I had very mild cramping and required very little pain medication. Going forward for future procedures I have little to no anxiety. I feel this is due to how the team approached my concerns and the reassurance throughout every step of the process.
