"Hysteroscopy"

About: Leigh Infirmary / Gynaecology

(as the patient),

I went to Gynecology thinking I was going to "dicuss" treatment for extremely heavy periods.

I was taken into a room and told I would have a camera inserted into my uterus to see if anything untoward was going on.

I was told it would be "Uncomfortable" well that was the understatement of the year, it was sheer agony I felt like I was being stabbed inside then I had water inserted to open up the cervix this was unbearable just when I thought it couldn't get any worse I was told that a biopsies would be take the pain i cannot describe i was writhing in agony i begged them to stop in the end i lifted my legs out of the stirrups and grabbed their arm and shrieked PLEASE STOP which they did, the nurses kept saying oh your really brave your doing well.... well that's easy for them to say it wasnt happening to them.

I went behind a curtain to get dressed and just broke down in tears wondering what the hell had just happened to me, I felt nauseous faint and violated, at no point was I prepared for this I feel I was lied to as I was told it was "Uncomfortable" bloody agonising more like.

Some sort of sedation should be offered with this procedure.

It has now left me questioning whether I want further treatment, I am waiting for an appointment for abolation but am now debating whether I should just continue to suffer every month than go through anything like this again.
