What do you think about the Women and Equalities Committee report? @drgailbusby.bsky.social . I'm pleased to see pain in #outpatient #hysteroscopy and the Campaign Against Painful Hysteroscopy being given the coverage it deserves. How are the IV clinic plans progressing? #MedicalMisogyny

The risks of #hysteroscopy extend far beyond the #gynae chair. The emotional #trauma accompanies us home. It disturbs our sleep, interrupts activities, sabotages relationships, and prevents us from accessing future medical care. In whose world is this justifiable?

I'm scheduled for a hysteroscopy. Anyone have advice/stories to share? I'm scared to death because I have two factors that are said to increase the potential for severe pain. Not thrilled about the barbaric tenaculum, either. How is that still in use?!

Would you like to help women get the information they need for #hysteroscopy procedures? l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...

I don't think this has been tried by #gynaecologists to control the severe pain of #women having outpatient #hysteroscopy. Could happen though!

The Campaign Against Painful Hysteroscopy has now amassed over 7,500 accounts of painful procedures from #women who have suffered severe pain, fainting, vomiting, screaming, no information, no informed consent! It has to change!

I’m recovering from a ‘failed’ hysteroscopy. It’s the only ‘oscopy’ performed without anaesthetic because forcing women to endure pain saves the NHS £££ each yr. The leaflet said take paracetamol. I almost threw up/passed out from severe pain. Pls sign: chng.it/YwCzLdfyTP
