Lletz treatment

Hello all..

I'm due to go in for lletz treatment in a couple of weeks. I'm terrified of needles so really getting worked up about having injection. Is there anything I can have or be given to ease anxious otherwise I won't be able to go through with it. (I normally have injection or blood test area numbed with cream an hour before)

    Hello, I had my Lletz treatment on the 5/11/2021. I am needle phobic so I had my procedure done under general anaesthesia, the only needle I had was one in my hand just before they gave me the oxygen mask. They didn't give me time to panic about the needle it was done so quickly. I'm sure if you phone the ward they may be able to talk to you about what they can do to help. 
    I would recommend possibly going under general for this procedure if you are needle phobic , I hope this helps and your treatment goes well. Xx
