3 years ago I had this. There was no information on it sent and once in the Consultants room I was told it was just a mild discomfort and they would do it there and then. I have never felt pain like it, I broke part of a tooth my teeth were clenched so hard. Broke down in tears after it.
Now I have to have another and trying to get in contact with them to arrange sedation this time has been difficult. I tried to ring the Consultants secretary, and same as the Gynae Nurse Practitioners number, "does not exist" the only number left I hadn't tried was CLINIC which turned out to another Hospital, and from there I was transferred to my local clinic where I spoke to a nurse who took my details and concerns and that I wanted sedation, and said they'd pass it on to the consultants secretary, but if I didn't hear back, .. to keep my appointment as other tests might be done and I could refuse the hysteroscopy then, at which point another appointment would be made. They also made note that the phone numbers were wrong on the leaflet. The offer of sedation should be made straight away that way no ones time need be wasted. , and the time spent worrying would be alleviated quickly.
"hysteroscopy"
