I’ll accept a brutal course of treatment or poor treatment at the hands of medical professionals for this question.

    If you ever need to get your uterus inflated for specific ultrasounds…

    Buckle up. They do that without anesthetic, too! Even when you ask for it! (Same with iud insertion. I asked for stuff for both and they said no it’s fine - not fine, trust me - you insist, or you walk, don’t fuck with this one)

    It puts the iud insertion to shame, its so insanely painful. They use saline, just small amounts through a syringe (like 5cc tops) to separate the walls of the uterus for the sake of imaging, and lemme tell you, the uterus doesn’t like volume changes, no ma’am, aveacreans about being moved. So it seizes up hardcore and gives you shooting pain from deep in your abdomen that goes into your limbs, very much feels like being stabbed repeatedly. And they do this multiple times over the course of entirely too long . It took almost an hour for mine, and i did my best not to move it squirm and make it take longer.

    Absolutely horrific what is done to women under the guise of healthcare. Sadistic fucks.

      Ouch… I was lucky enough to get a hysteroscopie (camera in uterus) under full anesthetics. Read in an article that most women undergo that without pain relief too. Absolutely ridiculous.
