Hysteroscopy

Has anyone had this done please? What were the experiences and outcomes?

  • Hi there Im due to have this done in a couple  of weeks. Iv been told its no big deal and nothing to worry about. Its the results of it I am worried about. When is your appoinment?

  • My appointment is a week on Friday 

  • Hello Catherine1977,

    I found the best thing to do during diagnosis was to take one step at a time. Comparing what happened to others may seem like preparing for any and all outcomes, but your outcome is the one that counts. 

    I had a hysteroscopy under general anaesthetic with a D&C performed at the same time. Honestly didn't have much discomfort following. Staff were lovely. One said a hot water bottle could be helpful for any cramps....bit late to tell me. However, I didn't have a problem. 

    The hospital sanitary pads weren't very nice so I would have taken my own if I'd realized. Yes, there was a little blood afterwards, probably due to  the D&C. In any case, investigations often involve gel/lubricants so a pad is helpful. Wear comfy knickers!

    Best wishes for a smooth procedure and a good outcome.

    regards, gamechanger

  • No, I didn't have a colposcopy.

  • Hi gamechanger

    I am booked in for the 14th Nov for a hysteroscopy/biopsy. Iv been really worried about the outcome and the procedure. You have made me feel a little bit more at ease and I will make sure I wear compfortable knicks. I have been kind of rushed through from gp to hospital and although that is great Its making me feel that there is something to worry about. Not sure of the waiting time frame but all of this has happened for me in the space of 8 weeks. Im used to waiting for months for any apointment. Iv also been looking up the internet and making myself worry more if im honest. When I ask dr or nurse about results I get told lets wait and see. Just wondering how long does it take for results of this to come back. 

    The pain in my side is just the same but my hip pain now keeps me awake at night so I am pretty knackered most days now.

    I suppose  all I can do is wait for results.
