Hysteroscopy

Hi. I’m 60 and 8 years post menopause.Went to docs yesterday with spotting, bad pelvic pain and urinary changes and been referred for an ultrasound and hysteroscopy in 10 days. Remaining optimistic as I know it’s more likely not to be cancer but really scared of the hysteroscopy. I find smears painful and had a colposcopy a couple of years ago which was excruciating. I don’t want to make a fuss but will I be able to get any pain relief if it’s bad

  • Hi there they do give you pain relief by injection if you need it ,I actually did need it as they were taking biopsies ,also ask if they can use a smaller speculum when they first start ,I must say though they are so good at helping you get through it ,they couldn't have done more ,I hope everything goes well for you .....
