I had the endometrial biopsy done several days ago and I am still in more of emotionally mental pain from this horrific experience than actual physical pain, although I am having that as well
While this procedure was taking place all I could think of while screaming as loud as I could was this is a true definition of torture. I begged for my Dr to stop & she did. I was crying, shaking uncontrollably and extremely nauseated feeling that I was going to faint and I was sweating profusely. My Dr is a very caring compassionate Dr .and I was so incredibly confused that this was happening to me from a Dr I respected. When I left the Dr’s office I was in shock to what I had just experienced which was the most painful experience of my life. Prior to this I thought having my child through natural childbirth with a long labor event was the most incredible pain to experience and then this happened leaving me feel as if I was a victim of a horrible crime. Something needs to be done to prevent this from continuing to happen. I am aware many women do not experience this during this procedure and I am also aware there are many with the same exact experience I had. I have yet to talk with my Dr about this but I certainly will when I return to her office. From what I have researched this is a common procedure with Dr’s telling patients to take maybe Aleve, Ibuprofen or Tylenol an hour prior because the procedure will feel like strong mentsrual cramps. I was not prepared for something so horrific giving me the thought this feels as if my Dr was trying to remove everything inside of me going all the way up my chest area with a jackhammer.
In those few short moments it was hell. Due to the severe type of pain which was like a jackhammer pulling everything and destroying parts trying to pull them out and because whenever she stopped the first time the pain stopped them when she tried again I experienced the same horrific pain so this tells me it would not have made a difference if I was given a strong pain medication prior because it was not that type of pain. My Dr used several different tools because of the difficulty grabbing the tissue so this could be one reason as to why some women experience horrific pain and some do not, but then again we are all different and should not be told just because one does not feel pain that the other will not.
The ONLY way this procedure should be performed is during sedation.
