hysteroscopy polypectomy curettage - would local anaesthestic be enough re pain
Hi - I am due to have a hysteroscopy, 360 degree curettage and polypectomy for one polyp found in my uterus. My ob-gyn suggested it could be possible to have done under local anaesthetic -(whilst taking 1000mg of paracetamol and 400mg ibruprofen just beforehand). My question is -will this still mean a very painful and uncomfortable procedure (30 minutes long)? My ob-gyn said I would have to be resilient to have just a local anaesthetics for this. I would much prefer a local to a general anaesthestic. So, with all the above drugs listed plus the local, would it still be really painful? thanks
