Wendy described her hysteroscopy experience as "like getting a hot poker, like getting my insides ripped out," emphasizing the intense pain many women face.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists states a third of women undergoing hysteroscopy report pain levels of seven or above out of ten, highlighting systemic issues.
Wendy feared being a rarity in her painful experience until she learned online that thousands of women had similarly distressing experiences during hysteroscopies.
Despite guidelines suggesting anaesthesia during hysteroscopy, the reality of painful procedures is still common, revealing significant discrepancies between recommendations and patient experiences.
