I have been for a hysteroscopy today to investigate a thickened lining. The consultant who did it said I had a large cavity and as such she couldn't really see anything apart from the water. She did however get a really good biopsy sample (apparently!).

Because I was all stressed about the procedure, I didn't ask her what she meant about a large cavity. I've since looked it up when I got home and a) wished I hadn't and b) wished I'd asked her. Does anyone have any idea what she may have meant? Can a Uterus be naturally large or is there something going on in there 

Also, is it normal to bleed after? It's been a few hours now and am very achy and have light bleeding?

Hi.  I would expect bleeding if anything has been poked up and into the uterus.  I would also ring the Dept tomorrow with a list of my worries ....... keep off Dr GOOGLE!  Take some paracetamol B4 bed.

I do wish that these medics would take time to explain

Hi Marshabookworm

If you scroll down, you'll find information on recovering from a hysteroscopy:

Hope you're feeling better soon.
