Camera through the cervix into uterus

Hi folks, in the next few days my wife aged 55 is due to have a camera inserted into her uterus to examine the lining , the procedure I am looking forward to to see the various parts of the organ, I have been told no aesthetic will be needed ? The other part I am looking forward to is to see how she handles the procedure, but I do feel concerned for her. Will let you know out come. If any ladies have had it done please comment. Thanks Tecman

Any penetration of the cervix is painful. Inserting or removing IUDS which I have performed (usually removal in my cases) has been painful to the patient. I saw my wife have a hysterosalpingogram which required twilight anesthesia. My understanding is that for hysteroscopy only local anesthesia is required. Good luck to you and your wife and let us know the outcome.

The big day has arrived for my wife to have her uterus examined with a camera we are both excited and nervous for what's going to happen , we arrive at 10, M is take to a side room and asked to remove her lower clothes , the nurse helped her into the exam room, the tables had leg supports not stirrups she sat on the table and the nurse explained what was to happen , she put her legs in the rests and scooted down and the rests opened spreading her legs wide . That complete the doc put on her gloves put some lube on two fingers and slowly pushed them into M's vagina there was a slight oh from M as she did a very deep and careful probing this checked all was well and open her up for a large mores speculum , she slowly pushed the large speculum in , there was a gasp from M and she griped the side of the bed , doc started to open it she was warned it my stretch more than she is use to, once the speculum was in place and m opened the doc had a look at the cervix ready to accept the camera, m had a very light anaesthetic. More lube was applied to the camera prob and its journey through the cervix began with a gasp from M we had a amazing view of her uterus a couple more gasps and both fallopian tubes were visible , she was sweating slightly and starting to feel more discomfort, the camera was slowly withdrawn with the gasp for M I was surprised how large she was dilated after the camera was removed, the speculum was slowly slide out and everything allowed the close..

After we were told the womb was thick in places but treated with drugs. Later M said the procedure was not as painful as expected but feeling the camera moving around was very odd she was amazed by the pictures, being dilated as big as she was, was very intense, may think of fisting at a later date , Tecman...

After M's camera through her cervix the med team decided to take a biopsy for future tests, and we were asked to attend the gynaecology dept, M was both excited and a bit nervous, on the way over she asked will I be as stretched as last time? We arrive at the hospital and check in , we were greeted by a nurse, who escorted to a side room and she was asked to undress her lower clothes and the nurse explained what was to happen, we then moved to the room next door which had a gynaecology table in it.

M sat on it and put her heals in the supports and hitched up so she was on the edge of the table, then the stirrup's were adjusted so her legs were spread wide and far back, this complete the nurse puts on gloves and a bit of lube, she very slowly slides in two fingers and starts to work around M's vagina this produced the first gasp from M once this was completed, she started to slide a large speculum into M this produced a oh ! from her and she grasped the edge of the table as the speculum starts to open.

When fully opened her cervix was grasped producing a small cry, a tool for collecting the sample was slipped through the cervix into the uterus and a specimen take which was painful a small cry for M and the sample was removed, the equipment was slowly removed followed by the cervix clip and the big speculum slide out and it was over, M said after the two fingers and speculum was interesting and intense but the biopsy was painful.

Lady's having read Tecman's account of his wife's experience of a camera through her cervix, I would be very interested to hear from anyone body who has had a similar experience, as my wife may have to have one.

My wife recently underwent an endometrial biopsy that she said was painful and her facial expressions during the biopsy confirmed it. But it was the scraping on the lining of the uterus and the injection of anesthetic in the cervix that was painful. The introduction itself, of the tool through the cervix, did not appear to be painful. So I suspect the insertion of the camera through the cervix won't be too bad, if that's all they have to do. My wife's issue was exacerbated by the fact that the tool would not slide easily into her cervix as her opening was very small, so they had to introduce dilators to expand the hole and this required an injection of anesthetic. I think the clamping of the tennaculum on the cervix (to hold it still) followed by the shot directly in the cervix was the worst part. At least that's what she told me...

When my partner had an endometrial biopsy, I think the gyno said take a couple of ibuprofen or something like that. Doesn't sound like they anesthetized her cervix. Did not sound like an easy procedure.

My obgyn wanted to do a hysteroscopy/endometrial biopsy/D&C under sedation in the OR. I did not want it, especially under Propofol. He has settled for a TV u/s and if there's hyperplasia, then I know he'll be pushing for the procedures. I would rather do it awake under local than have propofol.

I would like to see this sort of procedure from both external and internal camera view.

I had an endometrial biopsy twice. i saw stars. worst pain in the whole world. i can't believe those are performed without anesthetic. and iud insertions are just as bad, if not worse. my first iud insertion was so painful that i vomited.

i had a hysteroscopy while I was under anesthesia when they also performed a d&c. while i was still asleep, they put in an iud.

i think anything that goes into the uterus through the cervix should require general anesthesia.
