Had 1 today, n was in severe pain all the way through, they say it should be painless, yet I'd got two nurses fanning me with bedpans as I'd gone pure white n was sweating because of the pain I was in, I'm dreading my results but not because of their outcome, because I'm absolutely terrified of having a procedure like that done again, my doctor said I'd had aneasetic, but I felt that much pain surely it should of been stopped as that's what you quote ? I'd rather them operate to remove anything they find, than to go through that again. Am I the only 1 who feels this bad ?

I had to respond to your post, although it is from sometime ago, I hope you are doing well.  I had a uternine biopsy last week, no pain meds and was in agony during the procedure, I have a 18 year history of vaginal pain so wasn't looking forward to this, have problems with smears, not had children... they said it would be a few cramps, it felt a lot more than that to me!  I've been booked in for a hysteroscopy now, wasn't offered GA but am insisting, can't go through anythign like the biopsy..

Had one today with biopsy. Found small fibroids and polyp. Consultant said all ok and biopsy is belt and braces approach. Dont know why if so confident all is ok and like others it was excruciatingly painful! Never again!! 

Hi all Painful it was.

Hi I had a endometrial biopsy on 05/01/2021 I was told it was simular to a pap test and to take some pain relief before attending the appointment which i did,I read leaflet prior to on the procedure and what to expect which was slight cramping snd period like pain which it wasnt.
The procedure was excruciating i was in total agony and as well as the procedure i was also at the same time fitted with marina coil no anaesthetic used i could of screamed the room down ive never felt pain like this in my life.On leaving the hospital i could barely walk luckily my husband was with me to drivee me home I wad in agony at home I got into bed I took some pain relief and and a hot water bottle psin eased a little left me with cramps and bleeding .

This procedure should be raised in parliament surely a anaesthetic should be used.

my tolerance to pain is usually pretty good but it wasnt with this procedure.

Hello,

I can relate to this. I've just had the same procedure done on 15/01. They haven't fitted a coil though. I've still got dull cramping pains. Having to use hot water bottle, heat pads etc. I'm post menopause so with hot flushes the hot water bottle can be a pain in itself. My GP was really unhelpful but has prescribed some stronger painkillers.
