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 and thanks for posting,

    Do get in touch with the hospital department directly and explain. There may be options to have it under a general anaesthetic, but this might need to be rebooked in.

    Other options include some mild oral tablet sedation before having a cannula put in. 

    I hope that it goes well for you,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
