A member asked:
Im having hysteroscopy. i cant afford general anaesthesia so i opted for local only. will this be extremely painful? not sure if there will be polyp removal, its unlikely as us was normal. possible endometrial biopsy?

It is certainly possible to do a hysteroscopy under local with minimal discomfort, but that very much depends on the skill of your doctor and exactly how they manage it. The information you provide is insufficient to explain the justification for doing the hysteroscopy in the first place. Endometrial biopsies are usually tolerable without anesthesia but can still be painful.
