Hi all. 

I went for a smear two weeks ago, and the nurse found i have a polyp. I later spoke with a doctor, because I have had a few mini bleeds in last 6 months, he referred me to a gynaecologist, whom I'm seeing on Tues 28th September. 

I really don't want to be awake as will be so stressed out, only symptoms I have atm is slight tummy ache at times n lower back ache, bloated tummy, and energy less. If I ask for general anesthetic on arrival, would that be possible. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi there

You won’t be able to ask for a general anaesthetic on arrival I’m afraid-that requires planning-theatre, anaesthetist etc so can’t just happen on your request when you go. I haven’t had a polyp removed myself but when my friend did, she went in as a day case surgery and had this done under general anaesthetic. When you see the gynaecologist, they will tell you what the plan will be so this would be the time to raise your concerns. I hope it all goes well for you.
