"Hysteroscopy and Myosure procedure"

Hi, I had been having some blood on toilet paper when wiping after urination, I am 56 and period stopped at 40 (menopause) so was a little worried, went to G.P and was referred to a local hospital for a hysteroscopy, having had a colonoscopy quite a number of years prior I knew a hysteroscopy could also be painful.

I wasn't sure what to expect, received no pain relief nor was it ever mentioned, There was a female who did the hysteroscopy and 1 nurse who seemed slightly uncomfortable and she was trying to chat to me.

Never in my entire life have i felt pain like this, I know my knuckles were white from the pain and I was crying, sweating and felt completely violated, it was like a searing, stabbing pain,  I would rather go through labour pains any day than ever have this done again without G.A., I am utterly disgusted,  so angry that this is actually happening to women every day and it's took me a year for this not to be in my head every day, however I will never forget it and please don't judge me when I say that even if I knew I had a cancer in this area I would never again agree to having a hysteroscopy without a G.A. again, I  can't find the words to express how painful, barbaric and violating i felt this procedure was.
