Hysteroscopy - anyone had this & can share their experience?

I had a recent CT which is showing something at bottom of my uterus. Consultant wanted to see me within 2 weeks and I have appointment next Thursday. The letter today said it's likely I'll need a hysteroscopy on the day. I'm nervous. Can anyone tell me what it's like to have that procedure done please?

    I've had one, not the most pleasant of things to be honest but not the worst either. I had one for a post menopausal bleed that was unexplained. Chair with stirrups,  dr inserts camera through cervix, was painful but not so much that i couldn't stand it just gritted my teeth (i have had children) that said lady at my work could not stand the pain so had to be done under anesthetic. Everyones pain threshold is different, dr took a couple of biopsies whilst he was at it. I was asked to cough as he grabbed these. Hope this helps

    Best of luck to you, you'll be fine having the actual procedure done, they're routine nowadays.

    Wishing you all the best with your results.
