I can totally understand where you are coming from. Like you u have had three c sections and only had a short lavour woth my first so was never fully dilated. I was blindsided into having an hysteroscopy in 2020 and was refused a general because of covid. I had gas and air but  vowed I would never ever again have anyone do that to me. It is barbaric and they dont stop once they have started. 

Recently I have had some pist menopausal bleeding and within a week had a transvaginal scan which hurt like hell and within two day practically railroaded into having a hysteroscopy. 

I refused this time so was offered a general which I accepted was the best course of treatment as they really need that biopsy. Recovery has be worse but I'm glad I did it and although my fandango is still a bit tender at least I will know shortly the definitive answer. 

I really empathise as I am really of a mind now to refuse any other treatment should I need it. 

I really don't see why in this day and age we have to suffer such horrific procedures and also feel completely undignified and demoralised by having them. 

I hope they can do something for you I truly do. X

I've had a hysteroscopy. I was okay with it but other people's anatomy and thresholds are different and completely valid. My mum had endometrial cancer so if I was presenting with similar symptoms and didn't want any more kids and couldn't tolerate the procedure I'd probably just ask for a hysterectomy despite the fear of what a sudden menopause would bring. I'm 42 and not menopausal so my priorities are different. Just, don't let the medical shortfalls let cancer get you. My mum's had some problems post hysterectomy but part of her cervix was removed too and she was having problems before the surgery. I mean, people have hysterectomies for symptoms not just cancer so I don't know how concerned they are or how much you are suffering but it might be an option.

I'm so sick of cancer. A significant chunk of my and my partner's combined family have either had it or had a scare in the last 5 years. They say that 1 in 2 people will have some form of cancer in their lifetime. That's just too much. We need to fight it. It shouldn't be taking us or impairing us. I'm largely on this forum myself because I'm so sick of it so I'm saying take the risk seriously but don't alarm over it too much because it shouldn't be allowed to affect our lives and thinking any more than it does x
