#hysteroscopists #gynaecologist must watch this video and ensure #women are safe during #hysteroscopy procedures. Severe pain and trauma can cause long-term emotional damage. Sedation and/GA are essential. Thank you @drgailbusby.bsky.social for speaking out for change.

This includes medical abuse: No-pain-relief #hysteroscopy procedures are abuse against #women. This female-only endoscopy is the only endoscopy where sedation is not routinely offered. 1/3 will experience #severepain #MedicalMisogyny? I think so! #WomenDeserveBetter

The risks of #hysteroscopy extend far beyond the #gynae chair. The emotional #trauma accompanies us home. It disturbs our sleep, interrupts activities, sabotages relationships, and prevents us from accessing future medical care. In whose world is this justifiable?

I was thinking about
"fascinating a woman". Currently there are pictures on the ceiling, music and VR used to distract women in outpatient gynaecology clinics.

I don't think this has been tried by #gynaecologists to control the severe pain of #women having outpatient #hysteroscopy. Could happen though!

The Campaign Against Painful Hysteroscopy www.hysteroscopyaction.org.uk amassed over 4000 stories of severely painful NHS outpatient hysteroscopies performed with no or inadequate painrelief.
Many have gone on to suffer PTSD.
None were warned
