How enduring use of 150-year-old speculum puts women off smear tests #cervicalcheck #pain independent.co.uk/life-style/wom…
I was invited by @NHSEngland for routine #cervicalscreening and despite the efforts of my practice #nurse, even the smallest available #speculum caused me greatest amount of #pain and we had to stop the #procedure within a minute after insertion.
I have been in pain for 9hrs now. 😑 No test designed for #screening #population should be thus. It is hardly conducive for #uptake. Why has #gynaecology stuck with this 'instrument of torture', despite advances in #medicalinstrumentation? Could it be #apathy? @MamaDoctorJones
Thread: Outpatient #hysteroscopy without anaesthetic
Everyone is aiming to save lives and detect and beat cancer. Fantastic!
NHS staff are there for us in these mad times - but they're under huge pressures, having to meet targets, including financial.

There is an institutionalised false mindset that 'being a woman = living with pain', which means that women's pain is known to be taken less seriously than men's.
So standard NHS procedure is to incentivise carrying out hysteroscopies, a particular form of invasive surgery on women, without any form of anaesthetic. Because it's cheaper.
Thread: Going to a gynae outpatient appointment, whether you've been given advance warning/info about a #hysteroscopy or not?
If the gynae says they want to do it there and then, or even just says anything casual like 'I'd just like to take a little look, get a little sample …'

Ask:
"Are you talking hysteroscopy without anaesthestic?
I've read countless reports by women subjected to this barbaric procedure.
The answer is no.
I will require my surgery to be carried out under hygienic operating theatre conditions with humane anaesthetic."

And in the face of attempts to deceive, cajole, persuade, coerce, gaslight, mock, bully you into the stirrups …
"As I say, the answer is no.
You need to book me in for the proper procedure.
When can I expect my appointment confirmation?"
Calm, polite, controlled, assertive.

Three things all trainee and practicing gynaecologists, GPs and hysteroscopists must understand to be effective.
Read this - and learn about the women you will be treating.

1/ Gynaecology can be embarrassing.
It 'shouldn't be.' But:
Female socialisation has eternally told us about PRIVATE parts.
'Pudenda' comes from the Latin for 'to shame'.

Many languages even contain the word 'shame' in vocabulary for female genitalia.
Religion and culture intrude - periods and their pain can be known as 'the curse of Eve'.
Punishment on all the female sex for one woman's sin.

Refusal to believe women's first hand authoritative accounts of how these procedures TRULY feel
Failure to see women as needing or having any right to pain management
Callous, total lack of empathy, refusal to respond to women's pain

Hysteroscopy: excellent treatment when done with respect & compassion for patient, without financial and convenience issues & outdated attitudes to women getting in the way. A thread:

#Anaesthetics have been available since the century before last.
Men are given local or general anaesthetic for #prostatecancer biopsies as a matter of course.
So why do women continue to be subjected to #gynaecological torture? Misogyny in action?

Hysteroscopy is SURGERY - anaesthesia, relaxation and pain management should be the norm, not the exception.
And as it's surgery, involving cutting and blood, doing it in an office with patient & #gynaecologist in their outdoor clothes is a hygiene disaster waiting to happen.
