"Day Surgery - Hysteroscopy under General..."

This is the second time I have had to have this procedure under a general anaesthetic.

All the staff I came into contact with were professional, friendly and caring.

This includes admin as well as medical staff.

I had consultations with the anaesthetist and the consultant who was going to do the hysteroscopy.

Any fears or concerns I had were discussed and any special requests were granted if appropriate.

Having had the first hysteroscopy at the Royal Shrewsbury a few years back which went very well, I was expecting a similar experience, even though I had a different consultant.

I am quite petite and find any examination very painful and just as I was having my anaesthetic I nervously said to the consultant to be gentle with me.

I found this procedure the second time round horrendous.

I am very sore inside and out and haven't stopped bleeding yet, nearly a week afterwards.

I have some bruising on my legs which I didn't expect to find.

I feel upset by the experience and would not have this procedure again.
