Hi!
Having experienced abnormal bleeding recently, I need to have a hysteroscopy. Fortunately, I’m going to be having it under a general anaesthetic, which I requested when I went to the hospital this morning. The nurse practitioner explained the test to me and would have done it there and then, but I expressed my fears about it and they were very understanding.
Has anyone had this done under GA? What was your recovery time / after effects? How long did you take off work?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Finally had my hysteroscopy under GA 2 days ago, after it was delayed due to high blood pressure that was found when I went for my pre-op. Anyway, all went really well thanks. No sickness or nausea, very little pain and slight spotting. I have been constipated, but a good dose of lactulose soon sorted that out, and I'm back at work tomorrow!
