Due to post menopause bleeding ,I was referred for a hysteroscopy and biopsy. The whole experience was absolutely horrific ,I have good pain threshold have had 2 children one a forceps delivery, this pain without G A was far worse .During this procedure the Doctor recommended fitting a coil there and then with no prior discussion, I was in so much pain and just wanted this over with so I agreed.
I was crying, obviously deeply distressed my tongue was badly bitten I was sent to get dressed .No recovery time, no compassion !
I struggled to walk to my car a stranger opened the door for me
I cried for 15 minutes then tried to drive home but I couldn't manage the drive and had to phone my husband to collect me . I have looked online and have learnt that there are 100s of woman who have been traumatized by this practice .
