I had ongoing pain in my uterus, I was seen by gynecology and advised I would need to have polyps removed. The initial consultant at Monklands hospital did not appear to be that concerned however there was lack of reassurance on their part.
I was nervous as it's a procedure you're awake for and was told I wouldn't be able to try for another child until the procedure was done.
Dr Rana, Fran & Alison at Wishaw Women's Health unit were a great team.
When I was in the room Fran and Alison put me at ease, explaining what would happen and that if I was struggling they would stop right away.
The procedure itself was unpleasant, initial consultant stated it would be slightly uncomfortable. Honesty in that situation would have been better, given the nature of the procedure knowing this would have taken the shock away.
Fran and Alison continued to check on me during the procedure and offer words of support.
Dr Rana was very professional and after explained what would happen next and again reassure me.
The woman health unit is a great department with very understanding nurses and doctors, I waited 8 months for my procedure however believe that without this unit I would have been waiting significantly longer.
