Hydroscopy

Morning ladies,

I'm wondering if any of you have had a hydroscopy without having a general anaesthetic?

I saw my consultant on Tuesday and she has recommended that I have another to check that nothing "sinister" is going on as I have been heavy bleeding now for 17 days!!

I have had a hydroscopy before, but it was while I was having my laparoscopy so was under a general.

My consultant told me that I can wait to have it done under a general but the waiting list is very long, however, if I have it done whilst staying awake the waiting list is shorter!

I just wondered if anyone else has had the procedure done whilst staying awake and if so what it was like (pain wise)!

I hope you're all having a pain free day!!

Hiya I had one two weeks ago. Pain wise is hard to judge, a smear normally kills me so this was really uncomfortable , but my friend went for hers a few days later and felt no pain whatsoever so I suppose it all boils down to each individual.

The procedure is over really quick I was really surprise. I bled quite a lot afterwards, but my friend didn't so each person is different, just be prepared. It's dead quick tho urll be fine. X

Hello

I have had a few procedures of late but I have to say that this pain was extremly intense.

I did have to have a Biopsy in which they took three samples, but In my view you should be put out for this.

If they are just looking with the camera thats not so bad.

Not what you're looking for?
