Positive experience - hysteroscopy

To start with, I know hysteroscopy is different for everyone and people's mileage may vary. That said, I wanted to share a positive story for anyone who has one coming up and might be afraid.

I'm 48, no kids and a severe anxiety disorder - as in, weeping in terror in the waiting room anxiety.

I just had a prolapsed fibroid the size of a golf ball removed with OTC painkillers, 2mg diazepam and an injection of local to the cervix. Zero pain except from the speculum, which was a bit pinchy.

Only one word of caution: don't go in on an empty stomach like I did, I landed up fainting in the elevator on the way back and am still feeling like death because of that. The procedure, though? A breeze.
