I can empathise with you as i has an endoscopy a couple of years ago and was told it would be mildly uncomfortable, that it would be better to get it over with quickly as possible as i could then return to normal life immediately.....it had to be one of the most traumatic things i've ever experienced as they shoved a hosepipe down my throat, i was gagging and crying, bringing up all my protective stomach mucus, they then went on to do 5 biopsies i could feel them pinching and tearing at my stomach.....it took me 2 weeks before i could eat solid food, the pain lasted for 2 weeks, and it's taken over 2 years for my stomach to regain it's protective mucus, so i would also recommend a sedative for this procedure!

I had one of those done last year and I was sedated, I don't remember a thing about it

I've never heard of anyone having a hysterectomy without a general anaesthetic
