Well I have the blues and severe depression I think due to having had a hysteroscopy procedure.It wasn't very dignified being on the couch with my legs open.I had to have a speculum inserted and a camera inside.I could see the inside of my womb on the screen.It looked healthy in there the doctor said normal,no signs of cancer,that was good!The doctor found polyps which she removed,they were probably the cause of the bleeding and she found a fibroid.She took a biopsy of it and a bit of the lining of the womb for to sent to the lab for analysis.We will know for sure then there is no cancer.
I am in the high risk group for cancer cos I am obese and have diabetes so I have to report any future symptoms especially bleeding. The doctor was really nice and it didn't hurt too much she gave me a local anesthetic anyway but it wasn't comfortable and I was glad when it was over. They were all very kind and considerate though. I have been depressed since I got it done so not recommended.I hope my mood picks up tomorrow.The good thing is I am not having as much trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep so there are benefits to feeling low.It is just I prefer not to be low to be happy is best! |

The dreaded speculum is why I always hesitate to make my yearly Gyno appointment. I sort of know what you went through because I had an IUD (Intra-Uterine Device) inserted, and though I was given a heavy duty 800mg dose of Ibuprofen (via a pill) before hand, and some numbing cream to use, it still was very uncomfortable when I had the procedure done. The IUD is for birth control, though right now, I don't really need it being that I am single. Still, its nice because I don't get regular periods anymore.

Had one of those decades ago it was awful. I tested precancerous after a regular exam. They burned off the growths. I'm at hight risk too although overweight is recent. It's been decades like I said and no cancer. Menopause was the best thing ever! Still need to get checked but I no longer worry about it.

Well it is over and done now and highly likely it is all normal the doctor said though I am waiting for the lab to do the biopsies to confirm no cancer.The polyps are removed so the bleeding has stopped it shouldn't start up again.I am single too and almost through the menopause so don't need to worry about contraception.I haven't had a period since 2011 anyway!
