"Extremely painful hysteroscopy"

I was referred to a Consultant by my GP after I experienced post menopausal bleeding. The leaflet provided by the hospital stated that the procedure is painless but their maybe period type cramps. I was not prepared for the excruciating agony. The medical staff were brilliant, they did say it could be stopped but it would mean returning later for admission to have a general anaesthetic. I just wanted it over with. I have a high pain threshold but the pain level was through the roof. The procedure is barbaric. Afterwards my husband told me the lady in before me screamed and came out crying, shaking and very distressed. Fortunately for me I didn't see this I was in having an internal scan.
