How is it I find the endometrial biopsy SO painful and should I have been given an anesthetic?
I recently just had the endometrial biopsy and found this to be the most painful thing I have ever been through (although I have not had a child)..
I was not given an anesthetic. I noticed when researching the biopsy that some doctors choose to give pain relief, however my doctor did not.
I was also not explained to about how much it would hurt. Was told I would have mild cramping and maybe some spotting.
I had the procedure done last Thursday and still today (Monday) I am having cramping especially after eating. As for the spotting, I stopped spotting on late Saturday night.
Hope this helps

My mother had a few extractions done a while back. Now, she would like to have dental implants. Will they have to put her to sleep for the implants, or can she be awake with local anesthetic?
Dental implants are generally more painful and more recovery is necessary than for extractions, and so general anesthetic is recommended. If she really prefers the local, she should speak to the dentist about the possibility of that being an option.
