I’m here to describe the pain many women go thru silently, in short snappy tweets. Sharing voiceless stories of pain and failure from medical professionals.

"It's been 4 days and I can't stop crying." Report received today from patient coerced during outpatient hysteroscopy at St Mary's, Manchester.

[Rajini Vaidyanathan @BBCRajiniV]

Back after time off, as I recovered from #endometriosis surgery. It’ll help but won’t remove all the pain as no one quite knows what causes endo. Sharing to raise awareness - yesterday in parliament a minister said: “women with endometriosis have been failed for far too long”.

@pash22 @clarky_on @ElaineFalkner @pash22 @SolaDiagnostics The Campaign Against Painful Hysteroscopy is keen to have confirmation of the specificity of the WID-qEC test.

35% of NHS hysteroscopy outpatients are enduring SEVERE pain/distress during Trial by NO sedation endoscopy. Law suits underway.

1/4 Appalled to read another report about the current state of the NHS. Highlighting the NEED for accelerated progress within maternity so that the service provided to mothers, babies, and families is safe for everyone.

Had a painful #hysteroscopy? Please tell the independent website https://t.co/b91Y3nigDd about it and hopefully your hospital will make a change in the choice of anaesthesia future patients are offered.

[Hysteroscopy Action @HysteroscopyA]

@clarky_on Yes! It's a scandal. Anaesthetists and theatre space have been removed from #hysteroscopy so virtually all women are forced to undergo Trial by Outpatient Hysteroscopy if they want to find out if they have #cancer before it develops to a late stage. @lynbrownmp @raneethakar

[Carry-on- Clarky @clarky_on]

Is that on the so called 2 week wait ?

How long does is take to recover from surgery? I cannot scrape any energy!

@ElaineFalkner @sharonpallett @stayathome99 @NHSGIRFT @HysteroscopyA @RCObsGyn @TheBSGE @RaneeThakar @PSCommissioner I cannot thank @HysteroscopyA enough for their support. For the last nine years I have seen, daily, women joining the group having suffered OPH often w/o informed consent & w/o adequate pain relief! After the initial shock we become angry but resilient to fight the wrong.

[GynaeGirl @the_bloody_hell]

Quick query - has anyone ever had #iodine placed on a slow-healing #laparoscopy wound and if so, did you have a reaction…?

[Endometriosis Cure @Endometriosis11]

In addition to pain during menstruation, the pain of #endometriosis can occur at other times of the month.

[Hysteroscopy Action @HysteroscopyA]

@sathNHS Congratulations! The Campaign Against Painful #Hysteroscopy is delighted to read that Shrewsbury & Telford NHS Trust are considering the introduction of an IV sedation+anaesthesia service for women undergoing womb #endoscopy. Equity with colonoscopy patients at last?

@clarky_on @the_bloody_hell @HysteroscopyA @nmcnews Even if you ask them to stop, they carry on regardless and say, nearly done, for more minutes.

[GynaeGirl @the_bloody_hell]

@Endometriosis11 Ha! So that isn’t just me! I’ve been struggling to walk up inclines and hills for the last several years, and have been told a) that I need to strengthen my thighs or b) that it’s ‘asthma’ or c) that I’m overweight (I’m not).

[Carry-on- Clarky @clarky_on]

@the_bloody_hell @HysteroscopyA The bit about women being empowered to ask them to stop is so unbelievable. I could hardly breath and definatley couldn't shout. Shouldn't the team observe the patient for non verbal signs of pain and act as their advocate and call a stop. @nmcnews Wilful blindness.
