"Painful hysteroscopy"

I recently had to have a hysterosopy and found it to be THE most painful, inhumane treatment I have ever experienced. I received a letter advising me to have some pain relief an hour before, which led me to believe that it would be uncomfortable. I had no idea I was going to experience the most traumatic experience.

I had biopsies taken without any kind of pain relief, except a kind nurse holding my hand. The pain I felt was indescribable. For days afterwards I was sore and in a significant amount of discomfort. This procedure should be done under general anesthetic or at least local. Never again.
