Cervix too narrow for hysteroscopy

[Flowersandhearts]

Hi all

I had my diagnostic lap 6 weeks ago today and am due to have my follow up appointment with my consultant/surgeon tomorrow. With regards to the endo, he apparently couldn't see any during the lap, however due to my symptoms (rectal bleeding during my period) he's also referred me to a gastroenterologist for a sigmoidoscopy to look for endo in my bowel.

During my op he was going to also do a hysteroscopy to look for polyps and to also look at the lining of my uterus as it has showed up as quite thick on a scan. However he said that my cervix is quite narrow and he was unable to carry out the hysteroscopy as it could've caused a little damage by forcing things.

I'm going to ask all these questions in my appointment tomorrow however would really appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences anyone has had. How do I know what's going on in my uterus if he can't carry out a hysteroscopy? Any ideas?

Thank you everyone xx

You could ask about the chances of having a cervical dilation to allow for hysteroscopy? It's a shame he didn't do that whilst you were under xx

That's really helpful, thanks ever so much. I'll ask about that tomorrow xx

Thank you ever so much for replying. It's interesting to hear about the POD, I've had my appointment now, however have got another one in a few weeks for the follow up results of more scans. I'll definitely be asking this then. Thank you for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate that. I hope you're enjoying good health xx
