I've been looking at research on #outpatient #hysteroscopy, who will experience pain, how bad will it be, what can be done to "lessen" "minimise" pain OTC meds,VR, Music,water pressure,heat-pads -endless. But none suggested #anaesthetic as the answer! Why? @BSGE @RCOG @GIRFT

NHS outpatient #hysteroscopy a nationwide unlucky dip with the odds stacked firmly against patients. For too many, it is a living nightmare. For a lucky few, the experience is acceptable - it should be acceptable for us all. #MedicalMisogyny #WomensHealth #trauma #Consent

Nobody knows how many #hysteroscopy patients fail to return for future treatment or screening as there are no follow-ups to find out. Painful outpatient hysteroscopy procedures are risking lives! #Consent #trauma #WomensHealth #MedicalMisogyny @YvetteCooperMP @RCObsGyn @NHSGIRFT

THIS. This is exactly it. The analogy is spot on. Unbelievably I was told it would be like being at the dentist, couple of injections and then I wouldn’t feel anything. It was the complete opposite and was excruciating., barbaric.We’re told most women tolerate it well, all lies.

Can we find out how many lives are put at risk after fearing future treatment/screening following a barbaric, outpatient, no pain-relief #hysteroscopy? No one knows the long-term impact on people lives because nobody bothered to ask! @rebeccamallick @GillianMerron #WomensHealth

Still no news!
Here are the Renewed Women's Health Strategy's promises for pain-free hysteroscopy. Has anyone any news about the 'co-development with women with lived experience' to ensure 'women have informed consent and choice of pain relief'? @NHSGIRFT

How much longer will this go on? How many more women will be harmed? How many more lives ruined? How many more broken relationships? How many more lives put at risk? @YvetteCooperMP @TheBSGE @RCObsGyn @HysteroscopyA #hysteroscopy #WomensHealth #MedicalMisogyny #consent

👇 This is how many of us feel following a brutal #hysteroscopy. Deliberately gaslighting patients into an OP hysteroscopy without effective pain-relief IS violence against #women & is NOT acceptable. @rebeccamallick @YvetteCooperMP

What do we want? Anaesthesia
What do we get? Breathing exercises
Come on @LandDHospital - awake hysteroscopy causes severe pain to 1 in 3.
Women deserve at least colonoscopy-style pain relief for invasive uterine endoscopy+biopsy.

@drcarolinej As the shadow health minister with responsibility for Hysteroscopy what action have you taken to get adequate anaesthesia for womb surgery ? @HysteroscopyA now have over 17K women’s experiences.

17000+ women have completed our #hysteroscopy survey:
73% are worried about future procedures
37% say it's damaged their trust in healthcare professionals
22% were distressed for longer than a few days following the procedure
Ask about GA/sedation; you're entitled to it

I question how the so called evidence was collected and was it all sound ? Women are still having minor surgery without adequate anaesthetic many without informed consent. No reported outcomes have been collected from 100% unselected patients anonymously.@WarriorsWo32390

@YvetteCooperMP Please be the politician to do something about hysteroscopy .

Unlike pain receptors in the colon that can't feel sharp pain, pain receptors in the uterus and cervix can. Yet #hysteroscopy patients are still expected to endure biopsies and surgery without effective pain-relief. @rebeccamallick @YvetteCooperMP

I’v said this before but just imagine in VR your in the most beautiful place with your legs in air with a metal rod being forced up your cervix causing the worst pain you have ever experienced. Would the pain go away? NO it would not .

Baroness @lynbrownmp has now spoken 11 times in Parliament about the scandal of traumatic hysteroscopy. Her debates have been supported by Tories, Lib Dems and by MP Jim Shannon (DUP). We're hopeful for some joint action from Baronesses Brown, Regan and Merron.

7 Sounds like the staff will assist /supervise filling in the patient reported outcomes surly this should be done afterwards away from clinic and staff that provided the treatment anonymously
Patients need to feel confident that any comments will not affect future treatment

Had an outpatient #hysteroscopy? What to you think of some key points from this document? We think the biggest flaw was not involving #patients or @HysteroscopyA in their consultation. @RCHTWeCare? Is their a reason only the workforce was involved? #WomensHealth
