Ask:
"Are you talking hysteroscopy without anaesthestic?
I've read countless reports by women subjected to this barbaric procedure.

And in the face of attempts to deceive, cajole, persuade, coerce, gaslight, mock, bully you into the stirrups …
"As I say, the answer is no.
You need to book me in for the proper procedure.
When can I expect my appointment confirmation?"
Calm, polite, controlled, assertive.

Many languages even contain the word 'shame' in vocabulary for female genitalia.
Religion and culture intrude - periods and their pain can be known as 'the curse of Eve'.
Punishment on all the female sex for one woman's sin.
