I agree. I recently had a cervical biopsy/endocervical cauterrage (sp?) where multiple samples were taken. I do not think my doctor used any anesthetic and they mentioned "slight discomfort" when the biopsies are taken. Since I don't think my doctor is one who would recommend --much less discuss-- my feelings of "slight discomfort" from this procedure, I am more unlikely to willlingly repeat this without procuring for myself some other pain-reducing medication (ex: ibuprofen, etc.) before repeating the procedure. Is there some way to petition more doctors to provide -mandatory- anesthetics prior to this procedure?
