I went to have a Hysterosocopy in 2017.I was not impressed,I had booked time off work,only to be told the procedure could not go ahead,I would have to go under G/A. I did not want to do this & was told I did not have any other options.but I also was not happy as the the Gyno department did not have all the right tools for the job they never had a medium speculum only small & large,I queried this & they said they could not go & get one,so they tried to force the wrong size one on me,hence why a simple procedure never went ahead,they also never asked if I would like to try again at another date.also the Gyno insisted she would not do the procedure unless I went under G/A & never gave me any other options.I felt totally ignored & thought the team was not interested in my wellbeing & the Gyno herself only wanted to do it her way & also by not listening to me at all.they never actually told me what they were doing or telling me what they were doing step by step or asking me if I was in any pain.I think the Gyno herself needs to update her methods,I went back to my GP,I asked for a referral to another NHS hospital had the Hysteroscopy without G/A & now I am fine,what a difference in methods & options & better Gyno team & they had all the right tools for the job,explained everything all the way through & I was also offered the option of gas & air.I would most certainly go there again & will never go to Burtons Queens Gyno unit again,they need up there game,the Gyno at Burton I thought was no good at her job & tried to blame me & the tools of her trade & not her methods or lack of understanding & empathy,to me the Gyno needs to find out more about doing a Hysteroscopy in future as at present she will scare the patients away like me.
